The preferred way to handle this is to configure the Shield as an<br>
Nvidia Shield/Gaming Console initially. Then add a Windows Keyboard<br>
device and include it in the Shield activity. When customizing the<br>
remote buttons, you can choose between native, Shield actions and<br>
keyboard actions.<br>

Note that you only need one keyboard configured per hub. Just include<br>
it in any activity that needs it. For example, on one of my hubs, I<br>
have a Shield, FireTV Stick 4k and a ChromeBox and have the same<br>
keyboard device included in each device activity. The keyboard<br>
actions always get sent to whatever bluetooth device you are connected<br>
to.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div><div style="font-family:monospace,monospace" class="gmail_default">I am not sure what you mean here. How can the single hub talk BT to any device just by being included in it's activity? They must be paired individually. I currently have my Hub paired with my linux frontend, Windows10 Surface Book Pro and my Shield. Of course they all show the Harmony Keyboard entry, but it is in fact connected to them all separately and simultaneously.
