Yes, you are correct you can use that example.

Ah, by looking at infocenter, I just found this relay example is suitable for my scenario. Right? :-) Here: infocenter.nordicsemi.com/index.jsp

BTW, is there any sample SDK provided about being central and peripheral at the same time? Thank you

Hi Hung Bui, thanks for your reply! I will try to investigate the solutions you provided. Just a quick question, you mentioned I can use ESB and BLE the same time on main board - so it is to use timeslot API, am I right?

You should be possible to do that.

You just need configure only one board as BLE peripheral and connect to the phone. We call it the main board. Then you choose a way to send data from the second board to the main board and let the main board send keyboard data to the phone.

You can use BLE to send data from the 2nd board to the main board. This time the main board can act as central and the 2nd board acts as peripheral. Our softdevice support 20 concurrent connections at the same time.

Or you can send via ESB (proprietary 2.4GHz) and have ESB running concurrently with BLE on the main board.
