How to pair keyboard to your device

Note: The sync process will vary depending on the device you are connecting to (i.e. iMac Studio, Windows, and iPad). 

To pair with B1 with a Mac (this includes a Mac mini, Macbook, iMac, Mac Studio): 

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 isn't working

• Make sure that the keyboard is turned on (the on/off switch is located by the charging port).
• Make sure it is fully charged (you will get a red light while it is charging and a green light when it is fully charged).
• Please note: The charging cable does not convert the keyboard into a wired keyboard.
• Try pressing Fn + 1 at the same time (immediately let go). If you see a bold light, do a test type. 
• If nothing happens after pressing the keystrokes previously mentioned, it could be a loss of connection of channel failure. You will need to remove/forget the device and then re-sync with your device (see steps above).
