This happens since bluez 5.12. After installing bluez, file /lib64/udev/rules.d/97-hid2hci.rules is places, with line: # Logitech devices KERNEL=="hiddev*", ATTRS{idVendor}=="046d", ATTRS{idProduct}=="c70[345abce]|c71[34bc]", \ RUN+="hid2hci --method=logitech-hid --devpath=%p" This command makes my Logitech DiNovo Edge (keyboard with mouse pad) unable to connect to the USB dongle. Keyboard has bluetooth mode but I'm using dongle instead (simpler). All i get is bluetooth LED blinking red (unable to connect). After removing this line everything works fine, keyboard finds dongle instantly. I wanted to see if there's any difference in dmesg with and without this, but looks like, there isn't: with hid2hci: [ 392.104057] usb 2-1.4.3: new full-speed USB device number 16 using ehci-pci [ 392.180949] usb 2-1.4.3: New USB device found, idVendor=046d, idProduct=0b04 [ 392.180952] usb 2-1.4.3: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0 [ 392.180955] usb 2-1.4.3: Product: Logitech BT Mini-Receiver [ 392.180957] usb 2-1.4.3: Manufacturer: Logitech [ 392.181350] hub 2-1.4.3:1.0: USB hub found [ 392.181554] hub 2-1.4.3:1.0: 3 ports detected [ 392.455556] usb 2-1.4.3.2: new full-speed USB device number 17 using ehci-pci [ 392.549164] usb 2-1.4.3.2: New USB device found, idVendor=046d, idProduct=c713 [ 392.549168] usb 2-1.4.3.2: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 [ 392.549170] usb 2-1.4.3.2: Product: Logitech BT Mini-Receiver [ 392.549172] usb 2-1.4.3.2: Manufacturer: Logitech [ 392.549174] usb 2-1.4.3.2: SerialNumber: 000761930203 [ 392.553249] input: Logitech Logitech BT Mini-Receiver as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.0/usb2/2-1/2-1.4/2-1.4.3/2-1.4.3.2/2-1.4.3.2:1.0/input/input23 [ 392.553457] hid-generic 0003:046D:C713.0009: input,hidraw2: USB HID v1.11 Keyboard [Logitech Logitech BT Mini-Receiver] on usb-0000:00:1d.0-1.4.3.2/input0 [ 392.626574] usb 2-1.4.3.3: new full-speed USB device number 18 using ehci-pci [ 392.719660] usb 2-1.4.3.3: New USB device found, idVendor=046d, idProduct=c714 [ 392.719670] usb 2-1.4.3.3: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 [ 392.719676] usb 2-1.4.3.3: Product: Logitech BT Mini-Receiver [ 392.719681] usb 2-1.4.3.3: Manufacturer: Logitech [ 392.719686] usb 2-1.4.3.3: SerialNumber: 000761930203 [ 392.729662] input: Logitech Logitech BT Mini-Receiver as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.0/usb2/2-1/2-1.4/2-1.4.3/2-1.4.3.3/2-1.4.3.3:1.0/input/input24 [ 392.730022] logitech 0003:046D:C714.000A: input,hiddev0,hidraw4: USB HID v1.11 Mouse [Logitech Logitech BT Mini-Receiver] on usb-0000:00:1d.0-1.4.3.3/input0 without: [ 565.363124] usb 2-1.4.3: new full-speed USB device number 28 using ehci-pci [ 565.450709] usb 2-1.4.3: New USB device found, idVendor=046d, idProduct=0b04 [ 565.450718] usb 2-1.4.3: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0 [ 565.450725] usb 2-1.4.3: Product: Logitech BT Mini-Receiver [ 565.450730] usb 2-1.4.3: Manufacturer: Logitech [ 565.451232] hub 2-1.4.3:1.0: USB hub found [ 565.451415] hub 2-1.4.3:1.0: 3 ports detected [ 565.714906] usb 2-1.4.3.2: new full-speed USB device number 29 using ehci-pci [ 565.796780] usb 2-1.4.3.2: New USB device found, idVendor=046d, idProduct=c713 [ 565.796785] usb 2-1.4.3.2: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 [ 565.796789] usb 2-1.4.3.2: Product: Logitech BT Mini-Receiver [ 565.796792] usb 2-1.4.3.2: Manufacturer: Logitech [ 565.796795] usb 2-1.4.3.2: SerialNumber: 000761930203 [ 565.801052] input: Logitech Logitech BT Mini-Receiver as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.0/usb2/2-1/2-1.4/2-1.4.3/2-1.4.3.2/2-1.4.3.2:1.0/input/input30 [ 565.801202] hid-generic 0003:046D:C713.0011: input,hidraw4: USB HID v1.11 Keyboard [Logitech Logitech BT Mini-Receiver] on usb-0000:00:1d.0-1.4.3.2/input0 [ 565.873788] usb 2-1.4.3.3: new full-speed USB device number 30 using ehci-pci [ 565.967162] usb 2-1.4.3.3: New USB device found, idVendor=046d, idProduct=c714 [ 565.967171] usb 2-1.4.3.3: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 [ 565.967178] usb 2-1.4.3.3: Product: Logitech BT Mini-Receiver [ 565.967183] usb 2-1.4.3.3: Manufacturer: Logitech [ 565.967188] usb 2-1.4.3.3: SerialNumber: 000761930203 [ 565.977007] input: Logitech Logitech BT Mini-Receiver as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.0/usb2/2-1/2-1.4/2-1.4.3/2-1.4.3.3/2-1.4.3.3:1.0/input/input31 [ 565.977459] logitech 0003:046D:C714.0012: input,hiddev0,hidraw5: USB HID v1.11 Mouse [Logitech Logitech BT Mini-Receiver] on usb-0000:00:1d.0-1.4.3.3/input0 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge bluez 2. connect keyboard's dongle
