Bluno, SoftwareSerial, RX & HID

Hello,
I'm having some issues transferring a project I had running (easily with a Uno and Adafruit EZ-Key) to the self-contained Bluno.

My original project connected digital pin 8 to the RX pin of the EZ-Key (a standalone bluetooth HID module) via SoftwareSerial.h

I thought that by simply configuring the Bluno into HID mode, I could then connect a digital pin 8 on the Bluno to the RX (digital pin 0) on the Bluno.

I get some very strange errors, and while I see the RX LED is blinking with my sketch as it should, I can't pair the device when digital pin 8 is connected. If I pair, and then connect pin 8 to RX, the connection is immediately lost.

Also, even with the HID profile, the Bluno is not seen as a keyboard. Is this right? How should I be sending keystrokes or mouse movements if not through the RX pin?

Thanks!
