Hi,

Are you implementing a BLE HID Central device? Why not use a normal bluetooth dongle, which normally is combined with wifi-chipsets in newer PCs and laptops?

As the main use-case for Bluetooth LE HID over GATT is in the peripheral role, we do not have a hid_central profile implementation available.

You could develop a proprietary BLE service, where you forward the mouse-data over USB on your device, but that would be a proprietary approach.

Kind regards,

Håkon

Okay, so I was able to get the dongle to pair to another board (nRF52832) and show up as an HID mouse.

I am using the nRF52832 with a joystick to move the mouse. I am trying to send these movements to the dongle for it to move the mouse via USB. How can I do this?

Thanks, I will provide the code for the HID mouse and BLE integration soon.

Can't thin about anything else, but to use usbd_uart_ble. maybe someone else can suggest better option, I'm also interested.
