In theory a bluetooth mouse and keyboard should work. But I haven't got one to test with.

Just playing around on my dev machine, I downloaded an app to turn my Tablet into a blue tooth key board. It was fiddly to setup to say the least, mainly connection issues, Had to restart bluetooth on the tablet a few times. End result was I could use tablet as both mouse and keyboard. So in theory at least it should work with a true bluetooth keyboard. YMV

However I could not get it to work with a user image. Shouldn't be any differences in this regard but....  the same app connected to my Phone instantly. (though I did need to manually allow INPUT device access) I think but am not 100% sure that both android and linux use bluez as the bluetooth stack.
