Could you please add an option to connect to Raspberry with bluetooth keyboard and use it to control the host compute. Very useful when only have BT keyboard (with no second PC) and want to control the host's computer BIOS. Bluetooth mouse is also much appreciated to control host computer without bluetooth. Thanks in advance.

Unfortunately not, I am looking for something quite opposite. I would like to connect keyboard (mouse) to Raspberry in order to control host computer connected to pikvm over USB. Couldn't set up bluetooth stack on pi-kvm. Tried several guides (example: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/bluetooth_keyboard) with no success.

In general, we need not only Bluetooth, but also USB (first of all). I'll save it for the future.
