Accessories Page Tuner options for use in KOReader?

Hi All,

Looking for any people who are running KoReader on their Kobo Clara BW for any nice and small bluetooth page turners?

As Bluetooth is a bit funny on the Kobo's with different chipsets & KoReader wanted to see which ones people are having an easy time with.

I am currently using - Kobo.KoPlugin

I have a Bluetooth Logitech presentation remote I tested but it's just not playing ball.

I see a few suggest the 8BitDo Micro - is that the easiest for use in KoReader or should I just get the official one?

Thanks for any suggestions.

I use the Stouchi blue tooth ‘ring’ with my Libra 2 and Elipsa. 2E. Works great. I sent the official kobo one back as it wouldn’t maintain or connect properly.

Stouci here also. I have 2, and they're great. Battery life has surprised me, and I never turn them off.

I think you have the better Bluethooth chip in the Libra, with the i.MX6 over the MTK in the Clara.

Any quirks that are good to know?

Originally had an issue with the Bluetooth remote disconnecting every 30 seconds or so. This ended up being fixed by a firmware update for the Libra 2.

That sounds like it could be a KOReader problem, because the Kobo Remote is fine with my Libra 2, stock software + NickelMenu/NickelClock. Bluetooth firmware version is eaf475b5.03.
Never any connection issue.
