Bluetooth page turning for Kobo eReaders - Page 14

Oh, now I remember which clicker was a pain. The 5-way.
The lower button generates VolUp and Enter.
The 5-way up is also VolUp.
The others are MediaNext, MediaPrevious, VolDn and center is Menu.

I also don't particularly like 5-ways, especially when they are recessed.

OTOH, this has a long sleep timeout.

A number of users on the Kobo subreddit have reported the 8bitdo micro work through mapping on the map in k mode without any config on the kobo. Using the app, I mapped it to page forward and back, homepage, and sleep. I'd be interested to know what other keyboard functions could map to the navigation screen or between chapters or even editing font settings. Other than that, I am liking the small size and the fact I don't need to use the clip on margins.

Clip-ons are the lowest of low tech.

Even if you have to do that for some silly reason, you can make your own with a bit of copper foil that you punch out with a notebook hole puncher. Add two diodes and a driver circuit that will forward and reverse polarize them and you're done. This has a lower profile than any clip-on.

The 8bitdo is kind of cute.
