Keyboards connect to dongle but dont do anything

[heavy dawn]

Hi all, I need help setting up a dongle configuration
https://github.com/TophC7/zmk-dongle-keyball39
this is my config, i have managed do make the two keebs connect to my dongle
and the dongle is seen on my pc as a keeb
but once connected the keyboards dont actually do anything
no key presses work or the mouse/trackball

Id give more details but I really don't understand where this is going wrong, ive followed the docs the best I can. So any help would be appreciated

ps: dont worry about the build proccess, im using nix for it, its working perfect the issue is my config with the dongle
Also two commits ago you can see the keeb without dongle, that was working perfect too.

I don't see anything obviously wrong at a glance, usually I would check the build log too but that's not available in your repository.
Try enabling logging and see what the dongle is (not) receiving.

Some of the options in config/boards/shields/keyball_nano/keyball39_dongle.conf are unnecessary (but shouldn't break anything).
For example CONFIG_USB_DEVICE_HID gets enabled with CONFIG_ZMK_USB (which is set by the board, the USB capability is dictated by the board). CONFIG_BT_CENTRAL gets enabled by CONFIG_ZMK_SPLIT_ROLE_CENTRAL.

#Disable battery service proxy to avoid compilation errors
What error were you seeing?

There was a report about battery proxy not compiling in a dongle setup. If that indeed is a bug it should get fixed.
