2. 5 people working / 7 people not working
3. only "lwalker" is working without having done so first before the OTA -- he is using an SU-8W
4. of the 7 "not working" none are the SU-8W
5. Only "beel" is not working after working before an OTA upgrade.

Summary: other than "beel" (who is not working) if
* you're using a non-"SU-8W" keyboard and
* you did not get your keyboard working before doing the OTA upgrade
you do not have bluetooth keyboard functionality.

I'm not sure what this may mean.

Sorry, correction from me, I had forgotten: I paired my SU-8W with an N900 before the week 51 update, but because of too many bad pixels I backed it up and exchanged it for a NEW N900 and RESTORED EVERYTHING. I guess this means the original pairing as well? Sequence was:

1 Pair SU-8W with N900 pre-week 51
2 Backup N900 to SD card
3 Exchange for a new N900 pre-week 51
4 Restore everything
5 About an hour later the week 51 update happened
6 Forgot about the pairing
7 Few days later edited main.conf for basic BT KB support, found pairing defined but not working, so deleted KB and paired again
8 Then few days later did qobi's exercise to get keyboard fully working

So, sorry to mislead, I forgot about the pre-51 pairing on the old N900 that probably carried over to the new N900?

Thanks to all for all the help in these forums.
