    One Dell laptop with 2 Designer Compact Keyboards -paired but not connected


    I've been using the Designer Compact Keyboard in my home office for a couple of years. I like it so much that I decided to get one at work as well. Since getting the second one, I've been having connection problems. Windows 11 tells me that the device is paired but not connected at both locations. What's weird is that Windows Settings Devices shows only one device, like it sees the 2 keyboards as the same one. That would be fine if it worked. However, when I go home I have to remove the keyboard device and pair it again to get it to work. And then go through the same process when I go to work

    :)
