Handy feature. I think their implication was that you can't use it as an eraser either, which is a bummer since no Bluetooth support

Indeed

> OpenBSD does not support Bluetooth

Anyone have the story behind that? An explicit desire not to support it or lack of manpower?

No one stepped up to write and maintain it.

I hope this isn't the case... it certainly isn't on the Surface Pro 6. Erasing works fine, it's just clicking the eraser end of the pen that requires Bluetooth.

That's just how I read it, maybe it is just the click; in afterthought, it would make little sense otherwise

That's not really that great of a reason

Well, you have to communicate the clicking of the button somehow, right? I usually click it with my thumb - if it had to be within range to do that, it wouldn't be that useful, cause I'd have to ... I guess hold the pen upside down and click the button right on top of the screen? That certainly isn't the first way I would have tried to do it.
