Keychron keyboards have become a favorite among tech enthusiasts, especially for Mac users, thanks to their sleek design and seamless compatibility. If you’ve just unboxed your new Keychron keyboard and are eager to connect it via Bluetooth, let’s walk through the process together.
Getting Started with Bluetooth Connection
First things first: ensure that your keyboard is powered on. Check that the batteries are installed correctly and flip the power switch to ‘on’. Now we’re ready for pairing!
-
Enter Pairing Mode: Press and hold the FN key along with number 1 (or another designated key depending on your model) until you see the indicator light start flashing. This means your keyboard is now in Bluetooth pairing mode.
-
Activate Device Bluetooth: On your computer, tablet, or smartphone—whatever device you want to connect—navigate to its settings menu and turn on Bluetooth. Look for available devices; this should be straightforward.
-
Select Your Keyboard: In the list of discoverable devices, find “Keychron Keyboard” (or something similar). Click on it! Once connected successfully, you'll notice that the blinking light stops flashing and remains steady—a little confirmation from your new gadget!
Wired Connection Option
If you're not feeling like going wireless just yet or if battery life is a concern:
- Grab a USB Type-C cable (this usually comes bundled with your keyboard).
- Plug one end into the USB Type-C port of your Keychron keyboard and connect the other end into an available USB port on your device.
- The connection should happen automatically without any extra steps needed; once recognized by your system, you're good to go!
Switching Between Devices Made Easy
One of my favorite features about Keychron keyboards is their ability to pair with multiple devices simultaneously:
- Follow those same initial steps above for each device you wish to pair.
- To switch between them later? Just press FN + 1, 2, or 3 based on which device you'd like active at that moment! It’s as simple as flipping channels but way more fun when typing away!
By following these easy steps—whether connecting wirelessly or wired—you can enjoy all that smooth typing experience offered by Keychron keyboards in no time.
