Troubleshooting
Keyboard won't connect via Bluetooth.
Ensure the keyboard is charged and turned on (green indicator visible). Check that Bluetooth is enabled on your device. Try turning the keyboard off and on again, then re-pair it through your device's Bluetooth settings. If issues persist, try connecting it via cable first.
Keys feel sticky or unresponsive.
Gently clean around the affected keys with a soft, slightly damp, lint-free cloth. Ensure no debris or liquids have entered the key mechanism. Avoid forceful cleaning.
Numeric keypad is not working.
Verify that the numeric lock (Num Lock) feature isn't accidentally disabled on your operating system or within the specific application you are using. Some applications might have their own keybinds.
Battery drains faster than expected.
While the battery typically lasts a month or more, ensure the keyboard is fully charged. Excessive distance from the paired device or frequent disconnections/reconnections might slightly impact battery life. Reduce interference from other wireless devices if possible.
Keyboard is not recognized when connected via cable.
Ensure the Lightning to USB cable is securely connected to both the keyboard and your computer. Try a different USB port on your computer or a different Lightning cable to rule out cable/port issues.
