For Apple users only - Keyboard set-up assistant 

Once you have successfully connected your keyboard to your Mac, you may get a pop-up that states you  need to identify your keyboard (Keyboard Set up Assistant). Here are the steps:

  1. Click on continue
  2. Press and release the 'Z' key
  3. Press and release the '/?' key 
  4. Choose 'ANSI' as your region
  5. Click 'Done'
Note: There are two instances when this pop up may not come up - The first being the connection was unsuccessful. You can check if this is the case by doing a quick test type in any application you'd like (i.e. Google, Safari, Notes), if you are not able to type, you may want to go through the sync instructions again. The second reason the pop up may not appear consistently is because it only triggers when a new, unknown USB or Bluetooth keyboard is detected, or if the system fails to recognize an existing one due to connectivity glitches. You can always manually do it by:
Settings > Keyboards > Change keyboard type  - (go through process listed above)

My keyboard will no longer connect or work with my computer


  1. Make sure the keyboard is turned on.
  2. Make sure your keyboard has been charged.
  3. Press Fn + 1 at the same time, let go. If you get a bold blue LED, do a test type. If you do not get a bold LED, your keyboard may have lost connection and needs to be re-paired. (see steps above)
*Please note: Plugging the keyboard into your computer solely charges the device, it does not convert it into a wired device.

My keyboard is adding/missing keystrokes or just isn't responding normally 

This could be an issue with the channel you're on. If you have the keyboard connected to only one device, try changing channels (see above under 'How to set up your keyboard with multiple devices' and try channel 2 or 3) 
*Please make sure to remove/forget the device before you try a new channel. 

I can't set up my new wireless keyboard with my new Mac

Unfortunately,  Apple does not allow you to set up a 3rd party keyboard with your new Mac. You would need a wired device to set up your new Mac before you are able to set up your wireless device.
