How to Connect a Wireless Keyboard in a Few Simple Steps

Wireless keyboards are becoming increasingly popular for those who want a tidy desk, without the clutter of cables. Whether you use it for work, play or just for comfort, connecting a wireless keyboard to your computer, tablet or smartphone is really easy. In this article, I'll show you how to do it, whether with a USB receiver or via Bluetooth.

1. Connecting a wireless keyboard via USB receiver

Most common wireless keyboards often come with a small USB receiver. Here's how to quickly connect them:

Steps:

  • Plug in the USB receiver : Insert the receiver (often called a "dongle") into a USB port on your computer.
  • Turn on the keyboard : Most wireless keyboards have an "ON/OFF" button. Turn it on so the keyboard starts searching for the receiver.
  • Automatic Pairing : Typically, once you plug in the receiver and turn on the keyboard, the connection will happen automatically. A notification should appear on the screen telling you that the keyboard is ready to use.
  • Test the keyboard : Type a few letters to verify that everything is working correctly.

  • Turn on the keyboard and activate pairing mode : Turn on your keyboard and, if necessary, press the pairing button (usually indicated by a small flashing light).
  • Add a device : On the computer, click “Add a Bluetooth device”, then select your keyboard from the list.
  • Enter the security code : A security code may appear. Type it on the keypad to complete the connection.

3. Some tips for a smooth wireless connection

  • Check the batteries : If your keyboard does not connect, or the connection is unstable, the batteries may be low. Replace or recharge them if necessary.
  • Stay close : Make sure the keyboard and the device it's connected to aren't too far apart. Typically, the range of a wireless keyboard is about 10 meters.
  • Update your drivers : If you're having trouble connecting your keyboard to a computer, it might be helpful to check if the Bluetooth or USB drivers are up to date.
