Chuwi Hi8 Bluetooth Keyboard woes

[CardinalFang]

hi, i know this might sound like a dumb suggestion, but have you tryed reinstalling the BT driver?

[Clive]

Yes – I’ve reinstalled the drivers using the double driver exe and the zipped backup. Still the same problem with the sticky / repeating keys on a single key press…

As an aside I bought a micro usb otg cable so that I could both charge the tablet and plug in a usb device – device is recognised by it doesn’t charge the tablet… Assume some sort of compatibility issue although I did purchase a ‘generic’ otg. Any recommendations to purchase one that will both charge and recognise a usb device – preferably a uk based seller

Hi Clive,

I had some issues with the drivers for the Chuwi Hi8 also. My main issue was for the touch screen though. No matter how many times, or different ways, i reinstalled them the touchscreen was always off.

I had to reinstall using the Chuwi Hi8 Windows 8.1 package and follow the translated Chinese installation Guide. You need two thumb drives and a keyboard hooked up to an OTG cable for the process though.

After that I upgraded to Windows 10 and all worked again.

The Guide and the original Windows 8.1 image are provided on this site by Chris 🙂 :

As for the OTG cable I use this one:

It charges and allows OTG functionality at the same time for me. I believe you need to use position 2 for it.

I bought Chuwi hi8 a few weeks ago. In my case, everytime I tried to use both keyboard and mouse with bluetooth at the same time, I had the same problem – repeating keys on a single press. Now, I pair just a bluetooth device to use the tablet properly. It made me buy a USB hub (working on Windows only).
