Found a solution the other day. Use the Hardware Keyboard Action in Secure Settings.

Hi and already thanks for reading!
Today I tried to map my new Logitech F710 controller with USB/BT Joystick center. This worked fine. But now the problem:
The center thinks my Menu/Volume buttons are a keyboard and map them via the center. I can't use them anymore when I activate the IME option.
Any fix for this?
Thanks!
Just had the same problem after disconnecting my wireless xbox 360 controller...my menu button was disabled, it freaked me out but then I calmed down and thought to use S voice to open the settings menu and go to Language and Input and unticked on USBJoyIME...and everything is back to normal now

Yeah, same here too (nearly). I used the "Settings" option in App-Menu
Anyway, sucks when you can't use it anymore. And there's also no option to disable one device... Sucks ._.
When using the original samsung BT Keyboard, everytime we click on an empty field, the soft-keyboard also appears on screen.
is there a way to turn it of?

When the keyboard is on screen, go to notifications area and tap the `select keyboard ` option. On the top of the box that pops up, you should see a toggle to use of not use the soft keyboard. At least it works for me on JB 4.2.2.
I hope of helps!
I've been using an old Palm bluetooth keyboard with my android devices since switching from a Palm device several years ago. I just recently purchased a BT keyboard specifically designed for the Note 10.1 2014 and from first connection noticed this bar that pops up at the bottom of the screen whenever the keyboard is in use. The little button with the "^" in the corner doesn't seem to do anything. Not sure what it's for. Is this something that normally happens with BT keyboards and I haven't encountered it because I've been using an older Palm BT keyboard?
Looks like a placeholder for a nav bar, which the note don't need, or ads. Ad blockers which work with non-rooted devices produce such empty placeholders.
I'm not running any ad blocker (even though my device is rooted), but this only shows up when I first connect the BT keyboard??? Weird stuff.
Well, the black bar still persists except that I figure out a workaround to get rid of it. It's just a matter of connection order. I have to turn on the keyboard first, then turn on BT on the tablet, go to a text field and when the onscreen keyboard pops up just press the spacebar and on the external keyboard and I'm good to go -- no black bar and a completely functional external keyboard.

this didnt work, did you end up figuring oout whwat causes this? im usung a galaxy note pro 12.2
I did not figure out any other way to avoid it happening other than the work-around I mentioned. I believe it's the auto-spelling-correct or maybe the auto-complete, but don't know for sure.
I have the same problem on my note 12.2. Simple install "External Keyboard Helper" from Play Store and enable the on screen keyboard and choose "External Keyboard Helper" if you will be asked. Now your BT keyboard is a soft-Keyboard and no black bar was seen again.
OK here is what I got going on.
I am on a rooted fire TV stick and have installed the ime of the leanback keyboard. I have enabled it and am using it fine.
I also using mouse toggle for firetv.
I wanted to go with the leanback keyboard because the stock keyboard darks out the screen so it makes it very annoying when working in terminal or on a web browser like dolphin. Soi have accomplished that but
I want to create a task so that when the keyboard pops up, mouse toggle will toggle off.
The reason for this you ask?
In a web browser for example... Say u click the address bar while mouse toggle is on.. You do this so u can type the web address... But mouse toggle stays on and keyboard pops up so u have to pres play twice and hold briefly on second press, in order to disable the mouse, so u can navigate the keyboard.
If I could task it so that mouse toggle will toggle off on keyboard opening... It would be amazing.
I'm pretty good with these things usually but my issue here is toggling mouse toggle.. As its engaged with the play button on the remote..
That and what to put in for it to watch keyboard popping up.
Any help appreciated
I have been able to pair an MS mouse. But it get disconnected when screen times out. The only way to get the mouse working again is to pair? Is there a way to keep the mouse connected? Can anyone recommend an alternative mouse that works?

Well im using a really cheap mouse on amazon and its working well, whenever the screen turns off the mouse is still connected seems like a problem concerning your mouse
Sent from my dreamlte using XDA Labs
there's a setting that keeps the screen awake when your kb or mouse is connected.
i remember this came up when i paired my mouse the first time, make sure you check it.

looked for the setting, but appears it's not readily shown after your mouse / kb is paired.
so try this:
1. unpair/forget your BT mouse
2. re-pair/set up your mouse again
3. you should see an entire screen just before the set-up concludes that asks you something like "Keep screen awake whenever your mouse is connected?"
it's literally just a single question at the top of the screen, and a "confirm" dialogue at bottom (poor use of space, Samsung! lol)
