Currently I’ve been seeing lots of people posting about utilizing an 8BitDo Micro as a distant web page turner with Kobo units, and apparently it’s tremendous straightforward to setup utilizing the 8BitDo Final Software program app and it doesn’t require altering the Kobo software program in any respect.
I suppose I didn’t know that Kobo’s units supported Bluetooth web page turners natively with out having to leap via configuration hoops.
I simply examined this out with a Bluetooth web page turner I acquired a very long time in the past and it took like 2 minutes to get all the things setup and dealing on the Kobo Libra Color. Apparently Bluetooth keyboards will work for turning pages as effectively.
The one drawback is Kobo’s units routinely flip off Bluetooth everytime you flip them off, so it’s important to go to the settings menu and switch it again on and reconnect the controller each time you need to use it. I don’t know why Kobo doesn’t make it simpler to attach Bluetooth units.
It’s really a reasonably gradual and annoying course of to reconnect it each time, however not less than utilizing Bluetooth distant web page turners is an possibility with Kobos. These type of controllers don’t work with Kindles as a result of their Bluetooth solely helps audio so it’s important to use clip-on web page turners which can be type of clunky and visually irritating.
With as many individuals that like utilizing distant web page turners, you’d suppose these ereader corporations would begin promoting their very own Bluetooth web page turners sooner or later and supply official assist and ensure they work correctly.
In case you’re in search of a distant web page turner to your Kobo ereader, the 8BitDo Micro appears to be a preferred possibility. I’ve heard that some 8BitDo controllers received’t work with out further setup, however the Micro has an app you may set up in your cellphone to map the controls to work with Kobos.
