I am running Apple Bluetooth keyboard on -CURRENT. I order to accomplish
that, I have followed steps outlined by Eric Anderson here

There seems to be a quirk in the bthidd which causes it reattach
keyboard every couple of minutes, so I am accustomed to seeing vkbd
>10000 being attached but these seem to be harmless enough. YMMV,
though.

At some point, I also had this

working with the other laptop (back in the day when 6.x was -CURRENT),
but mostly out of curiosity.

HTH,
