Then press the corresponding Connect button on the keyboard, and you should be connected again. That should also start a light flashing on the receiver. This process differs depending on the make and model of the receiver, but usually, there’s a connect button on the USB receiver that puts it into discovery mode. ![]() This pairs the wireless keyboard with its dongle again and could solve intermittent problems. ![]() Other devices can also cause interference, such as appliances, electronics, and even other Bluetooth units.įirst, try resyncing your keyboard with the wireless dongle. If the USB port it’s plugged into is malfunctioning, for instance, the data won’t transmit correctly. The receiver can also cause problems during operation.

Some wireless keyboards use their own wireless connection with a supplied dongle. So do many desktops, so you can connect to any Bluetooth-enabled keyboard wirelessly. Laptops, Chromebooks, and tablets all have Bluetooth nowadays. Ideally, all computers would come with built-in Bluetooth or wireless connectivity. Check the connection Image: Kevin Raposo / KnowTechie It’s always best to use lithium-ion batteries for electronics, especially wireless keyboards with a higher power draw. Most keyboards we’ve used need AA batteries, but some use AAA, so double-check. Open it, take out the dead batteries, and put in fresh ones of the correct size. Turn your keyboard over, and find the battery door. If your wireless keyboard uses replaceable batteries, it’s quick to change them out. Wired connections are usually easier to fix, often working if you change the cable or simply by unplugging and plugging the keyboard back in.

But, of course, being in Canada it's very possible a device won't have one.Ĭanada's equivalent would be an IC number, but those are only needed in devices which intentionally transmit radio frequencies (stuff with wifi or bluetooth or whatever), and even then there are a lot of exceptions- oftentimes on things like wireless keyboards and mice you might just find "Canada 310" or "Canada 210" which is shorthand for the Canadian Radio Standard Specification code which makes the device license-exempt, or it will just say it complies with ICES-#.Īn alternative might be to try to find the VendorID from the USB information. I thought I was making a macro and it turns out I was just disabling my 'R' key, fortunately a quick reconnect solved that.įCC numbers apply to anything that can transmit Radio Frequencies, which applies to most electronics. It doesn't come with a manual so the programmable feature is a bit tricky to figure out. One thing is really bugging me though, I can't seem to find out who makes it for them. ![]() It even has a braided sleeve for the cable, which is a bit redundant on a keyboard, but a nice feature none the less It has good weight to it and doesn't slide on the no slip feet, the backlighting is nice and shows through the keys ![]() I'm actually really impressed with this keyboard.
