Tough to say without some more research but I doubt it.

I think you would have to use a device with the HID profile. The RS232->BT
converters only have the SP Profile active.  If your program isn't looking
for your device on the serial port, I don't think you will be able to use
it.  I have not seen a serial keyboard.

BT devices can support up to 7 concurrent connections.  This means that your
PC can have 1 BT adapter on it and have 7 other devices connected to it at
one time. Therefore you would only need 1 device on the PC side, I'd
recommend a lower cost USB/PCMCIA version, and a device for each peripheral
you wanted to connect to the PC.
