Windows 10: Product Issue: Compact Designer Keyboard connected but not registering most of the keys

So here's the problem. I'm using the Compact Designer Keyboard and the only functions I can use are the topmost keys like mute/volume up/volume down and almost every other key cannot be used. If I try using those keys, the monitor played a clicking noise not from the keyboard but is heard on the PC but doesn't register the key/letter&nb

Bluetooth connection problem with Microsoft Designer Compact Keyboard

I recently bought the Microsoft Designer Compact Keyboard, it pairs to my Win10 laptop but doesn't connect and doesn't work. Unpairing, re-pairing, updating all the drivers, and restarting BT services didn't solve the problem. The keyboard connects and works fine with other laptops, other BT devices connect and work properly with my laptop.

Microsoft Designer Compact Keyboard No Longer Connecting To Any Devices

Hi there,

First of all sorry if this post is in the wrong category... I had no idea what to put as it's an issue with a Microsoft bluetooth keyboard...

I have been using the wireless Designer Compact Keyboard by Microsoft for a few months now.

Recently it will no longer connect to any device at all. I know how to connect it, the bluetooth light flashes on the keyboard, but it does not show in the bluetooth lists of ANY device (including Windows laptops, MacBooks, phones...).

I have been using it for my MacBook pro recently, but after using it on a different MacBook (which was also plugged into an external display) it no longer works properly.

I have replaced the batteries in the keyboard to ensure it's not a battery issue, but it still will not show up as a bluetooth device anywhere.

I've done all the basic troubleshooting like turning off and on, doing some research online, double checking the instructions, but it just will not show up anywhere when the bluetooth light is flashing on the keyboard. Any help would be appreciated!
