  1. designer keyboard can't be discovered


    hi everyone,


    recently built a pc and don't have bluetooth capability on motherboard. bought 2 bluetooth dongles as i thought it was a dongle issue but the keyboard doesn't appear when searching for bluetooth devices. the dongles appear to work fine as they can find my phone. things ive tried;

    - different usb ports. so far i've tried plugging dongles at front slot next to power button, would it make a difference if i try usb ports at the back?

    - removing the keyboard from saved bluetooth settings from my laptop. this didn't make a difference obviously. they're still discoverable and work perfectly fine on my laptop. i've also tried plugging dongle into my brother's PC and no success there

    -i've also checked the dongles firmware and it's LMP 6.88 something, so it's bluetooth 4.0 supported.

    i've googled and haven't found much success. any ideas?

    :)

    Logitech Pushes the Edge with Stunning New Keyboard Design

    I've used a lot of Logitech mice and keyboards over the years. I like them a lot with one exception. I totally dislike the flat key surface (like a laptop keyboard) that they insist on selling. The flat keyboard has never been as comfortable for me as the stepped keyboard design. If Logitech offered their nice keyboard designs in the standard stepped design I'd buy them in a heartbeat.

    I would NOT however pay $200 for any keyboard no matter how stylish.

    Unable to connect Microsoft Designer Bluetooth Desktop keyboard and mouse.

    Dear All,

    I have just got my set of Microsoft Keyboard and Mouse Designer as well.

    yes indeed it can be quite tricky.....

    the best option I personally recommend is :

    1. Go to your device manager

    2. Under Bluetooth, scroll down the list of devices present there.

    3. Perform a manual driver update (right click every single device) for all items there.

    4. Restart your PC.

    5. Discover your Microsoft Designer Bluetooth mouse and keyboard (before the update in Step 3, I have removed all the Microsoft designer mouse and keyboard drivers / removed the devices). - this time round, it should connect.

    I am using a Lenovo Thinkpad T450s on Windows 10 64 bit using the Intel Bluetooth LE generic hardware.

    hope this helps folks....

    Microsoft Designer Keyboard issues on Windows 10

    Just bought the Microsoft Designer Keyboard and Mouse today, and i'm already having the exact same issues as everyone above:

    - No shortcut keys (volume, play/pause, etc..);

    - Every time i press one of the shortcut keys, the keyboard constantly freezes and then displays the last 15 characters pressed;

    I've done all the steps suggested and everything is still not working.

    If i don't solve this issue until the end of this week i'm returning my Microsoft Designer back.
