bluetooth keyboard problem
 

Hi

ThinkPad Compact Bluetooth Keyboard
it is detected, pairing does nothing,
I get no number shown, a manual number does not work, typing it in and enter does nothing

but the keyboard can be connected, and than it works,
but after a while it is disconnected and needs a connect again.
What is bad because I am a bit away from the notebook and the whole idea of the keyboard is to have the possibility of keeping distance.

I thought such things just work just out of the box, a mouse with a extra bluetooth dongle work without any issue
but the keyboard has no extra dongle, so what do I have to do that this keyboard just works and stays connected?

Just a few thoughts,
Maybe the batteries are low?
I don't use bluetooth, but I know there are a few different categories, each with different ranges.
Maybe your keyboard has a shorter range than you assumed?
How is your computer's internal bluetooth device working. Does it work with devices other than your keyboard?

I found this, it helps
