mine is identical (bdaddr is the only difference).

yes, i noticed that too. strange... another unusual behavior is that the 
keyboard does not seem to close baseband connection. for example if i 
start bthidd(8) and press keys on the keyboard, it will connects to the 
bthidd(8) as expected. in other words baseband connection is initiated 
from the keyboard. however, if i kill bthidd(8) the keyboard keeps 
baseband connection open. now if start bthidd(8) the keyboard does not 
work. bthidd(8) waits for it to connect (because reconnect_initiate is 
set to true), but keyboard does not connect. you can get the keyboard 
re-connect by power cycling it or manually disconnecting baseband with 
hccontrol(8).

also i think there is a bug in bthidd(8) kbd.c (kbd_process_keys 
function). i think it needs a rewrite :)

thanks,
