Troubleshooting

Keyboard not connecting via Bluetooth

Ensure the keyboard is powered on and within range (up to 10m). Check that Bluetooth is enabled on your device. Try re-pairing by pressing and holding the Bluetooth pairing button. Ensure batteries are fresh.

Keys are not registering or are slow to respond

Check battery levels and replace if low. Ensure there are no obstructions between the keyboard and the connected device. Restart both the keyboard and the connected device. Check if the correct system mode (Windows/macOS/etc.) is selected.
