FAQs

Does this keyboard require its own battery?

Can I use this with an older Elite x2 model?

Troubleshooting

Keyboard not responding when docked

Detach the keyboard and ensure the Pogo Pin contacts on both the tablet and keyboard are clean and free of dust or debris.

Touchpad is inconsistent

Check your Windows Precision Touchpad settings in the OS to ensure the driver is active and the sensitivity is adjusted to your preference.

Backlight not illuminating

Ensure the keyboard is firmly connected. If it remains off, verify that your laptop's power settings are not currently in a battery-saver mode that restricts peripheral power.
