ESP32-BLE-Keyboard VS ESP32_BLE_Arduino

I am trying to get started with the bluetooth keyboard example for ESP32. using the example, it throws the error: "Compilation error: 'BleKeyboard' does not name a type" I have tried to compile this in Arduino 1.8 and 2.2.1 and on multiple computers. all fail to compile. I even tried to downgrade the ESP32 package to 2.x to no avail. What am i missing here?

For example: https://github.com/T-vK/ESP32-BLE-Keyboard

I like using the ESP32C3. If you don't need a lot of pinouts, the Seeed Studio XIAO ESP32C3 ($9) is awesome for emulating a Bluetooth Keyboard using the https://github.com/T-vK/ESP32-BLE-Keyboard library. Thanks to the Community members who made me aware of the BLE library.

this library is great

It'll be much easier and cheaper if you used a ESP32. Example https://github.com/T-vK/ESP32-BLE-Keyboard

From the library's BleKeyboard.h file, I think the main problem I have is that some keys are just "KEY_" which are type uint8_t.

If you're trying to build a totally custom thing, it looks like there's a library to use the ESP32 as a bluetooth keyboard. https://github.com/T-vK/ESP32-BLE-Keyboard

ESP32 with this BLE keyboard library is an option.

Keyboard Library: https://github.com/T-vK/ESP32-BLE-Keyboard/releases/tag/0.3.0

With this library it's pretty simple - have you tried it ? https://github.com/T-vK/ESP32-BLE-Keyboard

Im working on a mesh project and want to use BLE to have communication between a smartphone and the mesh. I worked with this nimble lib before but i cant use it since compiling the MDF project with nimble enabled fails. Basically i need https://github.com/nkolban/ESP32_BLE_Arduino but for IDF.

I never used nimBLE, however I implemented a Gatt Server on my esp32 using this library. It can be used to make Gatt clients as well
