Windows 10: Designer Bluetooth Keyboard no longer able to pair

Abbanabba · Jan 28, 2020

Like many others using Windows 10, my Microsoft Designer Bluetooth Keyboard had intermittent dropouts. I tried updating drivers, tinkering with settings, etc. Finally I decided to try uninstalling and reinstalling the keyboard, as is a standard recommendation.

Big mistake! Since then, I can't get it to reconnect.

My Bluetooth mouse that came with the keyboard is still working just fine.

I can also pair the keyboard to other devices just fine.

When I try to "Add device", the keyboard appears in the "Select a device" window, so it is clearly discoverable.

However, once I choose it and click "Next" it doesn't ask for a pairing number. Instead it times out and I'm advised "That didn't work" no kidding!.

I've had to purchase a new keyboard, which is incredibly frustrating when there is nothing wrong with the other. And apparently I'm not the only one with this issue.

If the mouse is still working fine, then I'm disinclined to think it's an issue with the Bluetooth driver. If the keyboard connects to other devices, I'm disinclined to think it's an issue with the keyboard. It seems to be an issue re-pairing, but I can't figure out how to fix this.

Can pair new Microsoft Designer Bluetooth keyboard - but not connect

Hi

I just bought a new Microsoft Designer Bluetooth desktop keyboard to use with my Dell XPS 15 9530.

I'm running Windows 10 and I'm able to pair the keyboard by going to settings and adding and adding a new bluetooth device. It prompts me to type in the passkey on the keyboard and press enter.

After doing so, the device is added to the device list and after (very briefly) being listed as "Connected" it switches to be listed as "Paired".

In this state, the keyboard doesn't respond to any input - even after power cycling it. The keyboard even keeps blinking in the Esc-key as if it's still ready to pair.

I've reset the Bluetooth adapter, run the troubleshooter and made sure that all of my drivers are up to date. Nothing helps.

Any good suggestions?

Can't pair Lenovo Bluetooth mouse and keyboard

Testing a Lenovo Bluetooth mouse and keyboard, Model LXH-JME8002B.
Manage Bluetooth Devices finds the Lenovo Bluetooth Mouse and when I click PAIR I get Connected then Paired, but the mouse pointer will not move. I've tried this and without my Wireless Logitech mouse connected.

With the Wireless Logitech mouse removed, I can move the mouse pointer with the touchpad but the supposedly paired BT Mouse can't. With it connected I can move it with the Logitech mouse but not the Lenovo BT mouse.

Does not see the Lenovo Bluetooth Keyboard at all.

I'm at build 10074, updated last evening from 10061.

Everything in Device Manager looks copacetic:

Manage Bluetooth Devices looks right for the mouse as well:

This is my first try with a Bluetooth device.

My Specs are filled in.
