Download Wireless Keyboard For Pc

[Christopher]

mywireless keyboard will not stay on long enough to be recognized with my ipad to pair it. It pairs just fine with my macbook pro (i'm using it right now to prove my point.) I bought it to use for the ipad not with the macbook. I have replaced batteries and tried the aluminum trick as well. it's obvious to me that it is not a case of it not working but why it won't work with the ipad is beyond me. Help is appreciated.

The link suggestion worked perfectly for me. My kb light turned on for 2 sec but not blinking, so Apple TV couldn't discover the kb, but pressing the power button the whole process as suggested on the link worked for me. THANKS

I thought it was until I realized that it was pairing with my mac book just fine. The green light comes on for about 2 seconds and then goes off. I have been able to keep it on long enough a couple of times for it to be recognized but then it's as if the signal drops and it says it isn't discoveralbe again. I can hit the caps lock key and it lights up so I know it has good power.

I had the same problem when I tried to pair it with my iPhone. The green light would only stay on for a second or so but never blink. Once I unpaired the keyboard from my iPad, the green light on the keyboard started to blink and I was able to pair it with my phone.

I have the same problem, but I'm now typing on the bluetooth keyboard even though the System Preference says the keyboard is not found and is searching and the green light is off on my keyboard. ?????????

I'm having the same problem. The light on my keyboard won't stay lit. Have changed to new batteries. It used to work fine and when I opened Bluetooth this morning (I have not used the keyboard in a while) it recognized "Apple Wireless Keyboard". After trying to connect and getting an error message (tried this about a dozen times) I clicked on Forget this Device. Turned off Bluetooth and back on. Sometimes it will pull up "Keyboard" but not Apple Wireless keyboard as in the past and which is what shows on my iphone (it connects automatically). Then I thought maybe the iPhone Bluetooth was interfering with the keyboard connecting so I turned it off on the iPhone. Same issue. Shows keyboard as discoverable but will not connect. I have the ipad3 and my keyboard is only 3 or 4 months old.

I had the same problem. Here's how I fixed it. Once the light came on, I started tapping keys on the keyboard. Believe it or not, that got the blinking light to stay on and my keyboard paired. I have been trying to get it to work for an hour before I tried this.

Amazingly, this worked for me too, even though the light never went on or stayed on for more than a few seconds. But long enough to pair and prompt a code, which worked. Up until that moment I couldn't get it to pair at all (even after inserting tinfoil into the battery chamber as suggested), so I guess stabbing away at the keys works, oddly.

I saw someone made a comment about replying to old threads as nobody referenced them well I do and I had this problem. I knew it wasn't the aluminium foil trick as the power was there pressing the caps lock button ..

My logitech keyboard stops working every 5-20 minutes. During the time it stops working, if I type on it, even typing hundreds of words, as soon as I vigorously shake the keyboard, everything I had typed appears on screen all at once, and the keyboard at least briefly resumes normal operations. Now, this sounds like a simple mechanical defect, but I've had it for years, and even after buying a new logitech keyboard, and briefly trying other brands of keyboards, every wireless keyboard that connects to my computer suffers the same bug immediately. What could possibly be happening here?

My old cheap Logitech keyboard does the same thing, started about a year ago and I've had it for about 8 years. It is the keyboard, not a driver or dongle issue as the mouse still works and uses the same dongle and drivers obviously. If I gently pick it up and angle it, then put it back down, it works. Sometimes I have to shake it. I've tried rotating the batteries but that doesn't work so it is not a bad connection there. More than likely, it is a bad connection somewhere inside the unit. It may use elastomeric connections which always fail over time, like on the PS3 controllers. I also have a better K540 Logitech keyboard and M310 mouse that never fail.

I think that by shaking the keyboard you move it where there is less interference,or that reception is better, so the keyboard regains the connection to thecomputer and can transfer the keys accumulated in its buffer.

I suggest checking why the usual place reserved for the keyboard is problematic.Perhaps it is placed near a unit that sometimes emits strong electromagneticinterference.Or perhaps it is just nearer to the wireless dongle.

I honestly never experienced any, if at all, wireless keyboard issues. Most of our end users that do have wireless keyboards or mice seem to work without a hitch. Personally I always go wired if possible.

The issue was being caused by wireless radio signal interference by my wireless router. The router was overpowering the signal and causing disconnects and dropped signals. I turned off that frequency in the wireless router and the issues all went away.

I have always preferred wired. I have a good old Dell keyboard from 12 years ago that I use. The keyettera do not fade, they can take abuse and they still are the most comfortable ergonomically even though it is not considered an ergonomic keyboard.

Logitech has been the go-to wireless keyboard if a staff member needed one. They have been fairly reliable, but battery replacement has always been an issue. Staff approaching me at day end saying they need batteries as their keyboard has died and a report is due before they leave when they full well know I do not provide the batteries is not a good thing!!

This is the exact reason we do not support wireless keyboards and mice at our company. Often times for a stable experience the dongle needs to be rather close to the keyboard and mouse. Also more often then not users think the device is faulty when all they need to do is change out the batteries. Which leads to batteries not being used of their full charge. As much as we want our user community to be happy with the tools we provide, we also have to remember that we can not always give them what they want, but should endeavor to provide what they need. Which is why I am happy we do not support wireless devices like those. We do allow departments to purchase them outside of IT but only offer wired as replacements if they are having issues.

Batteries are my first thought when you say slowness. My next thought is driver issues. USB 2.0 and 3.0 compatibility issues. Also are these Bluetooth Dongles connected directly to the Machine are routed through a USB hub?? Several options that could be wrong. As for me I have had good luck with wireless keyboards usually Logitech.

When I boot Ubuntu from USB, I can't get my wireless keyboards to work. They both work on Windows, so there is no battery issue. They both use a wireless USB dongle. The wireless mouse with one of them works fine.

If you tried the Lenovo fix from WinEunuuchs2Unix's answer and it did not work, you might want to try this modified fix that I made for another Primax (HP brand) wireless keyboard + mouse combo with similar problems:

This is completely wrong. Wireless keyboards and mice like OP's use RF technology and they are paired with the receiver at the factory. You can't just use any RF receiver. That's why you don't have to pair it manually when you plug it in like you do with Bluetooth.

The info on the compatibility issue with USB receivers was helpful and I appreciate your taking the time to respond but I have yet to receive a way to purchase a new one without buying the whole package again.

Factory support was . . . shal I say - non-supportive. I was passed around to different departmenst and no one was able to help. I was passed around until I was connected to the original department I started with. I got frustrated and gave up on the factory.

Logitech uses a proprietary micro USB receiver they call a "Unifying" receiver. It can sync with any of their wireless mice or keyboards. You can also buy a replacement or spare receiver on Amazon at a reason price so you can quickly move a wireless mouse to another laptop. It will not work with any other manufacturers devices. I only plan to buy Logitech in ther future unless the other vendors change thei policies to allow easy and economical replacements for lost or broken receivers.

I just got a new HP Omni-27 desktop (Windows 7 64-bit) which comes with a KG-1162 wireless keyboard. The problem is that the fn status of the function keys is reversed from what it should be. As an example, the f10 key dims the display instead of sending an f10 code to the application, and fn+f10 sends an f10 code instead of dimming the display. This makes the keyboard extremely frustrating when trying to use applications that make heavy use of function keys, like MS Office products and developer IDEs. Another example is interactive games which require use of the function keys, but you rarely have an extra finger free to also hold down the fn key. This is analagous to trying to use a keyboard that doesn't have a Caps Lock key, but always acts as if Caps Lock were on. Of the several keyboards I use in the course of a day, this is the only one that acts this way. I'd really like to find a way to fix this before I throw this keyboard out and buy one that works as it should. Here's what I've tried and learned so far:
