I know that page, I followed the mentioned steps and it already did work. At least until I followed the given advice to uninstall bt-hid-scripts, which obviously broke bluetooth support of my keyboard. Does uninstalling of bt-hid-scripts revert changes manually made to /etc/bluetooth/main.conf? I first changed this file, then installed bt-hid-scripts, then it worked. Now it doesn't work anymore.
I'm just running a backup. As son as it's done I'll check that file again.

OK, I checked bluetooth config again, and you're right, the input module was on ignore list again 
I deleted it and keyboard now gets paired again but it works no better than before (bt-hid-scripts still uninstalled).
I played with some different layouts and only one that yet made any difference was layout france: no keys at all working.
I'm just on the verge of configuring that damned stuff with a big bad hammer!
Is there any tool which displays received keycodes / scancodes from keyboard directly so I could at least try to build my own mapping?

@x-lette - here are two test tools, google on how to use them. Just have in mind that you have to copy them on executable partition, for example in /opt and have to chmod to 777 for example

My keyboard is a silicon one from Chin Fai. You can find a similar one here (with english layout): http://www.amazon.co.uk/Silicone-Sma...N%3DB003JIM6J8
It claims to be SU-8W compatible. What settings are used for that Nokia keyboard? Generic 105 intl?
