The basic steps to connect your Logitech keyboard
To connect a Logitech Bluetooth keyboard, turn on the keyboard's power switch, press and hold the Bluetooth pairing button (usually on the back or bottom) for three seconds until a light blinks, then go to your device's Bluetooth settings and select the keyboard from the list of available devices. The whole process takes about two minutes and works the same way on Windows, Mac, iPad, and Android.
The keyboard will stay connected to that device unless you manually unpair it or move out of Bluetooth range (typically 30 feet). Once paired, you just turn the keyboard on and it reconnects automatically — you do not have to pair it again each time.
Key Takeaways
- Most Logitech Bluetooth keyboards have a power switch and a separate Bluetooth pairing button that you hold down to make the keyboard discoverable.
- Your device's Bluetooth settings must be turned on before you search for the keyboard, and the keyboard must be in pairing mode at the same time.
- After the first pairing, the keyboard reconnects automatically when you turn it on — you do not need to pair it again.
- If the keyboard does not appear in your device's Bluetooth list, restart both the keyboard and your device, then try pairing again.
Finding the power switch and pairing button on your keyboard
Logitech Bluetooth keyboards vary in design, but the power switch is almost always on the back edge or the bottom of the keyboard. Look for a small sliding switch labeled "On" and "Off" or a button marked with a power symbol. The Bluetooth pairing button is separate and usually smaller — it may be labeled with a Bluetooth symbol or straightforward say "Pair" or "Connect."
If you cannot find the pairing button, check the underside of the keyboard or the back edge near the power switch. Some models have the pairing button recessed so you need a pen or paperclip to press it. Your keyboard's manual (often available as a PDF on Logitech's website) shows the exact location if you are unsure.
Turning on Bluetooth on your device
Before you touch the keyboard, open your device's Bluetooth settings. On Windows, go to Settings > Devices > Bluetooth and toggle it on. On Mac, click the Apple menu > System Settings > Bluetooth and turn it on. On iPad or iPhone, go to Settings > Bluetooth and toggle it on. On Android, go to Settings > Connected Devices > Bluetooth and turn it on.
Leave this settings screen open while you pair the keyboard — you will need to see the list of available devices appear. Do not close the settings app or your device may stop searching for the keyboard.
Putting the keyboard into pairing mode
Once Bluetooth is on on your device, turn on the Logitech keyboard using the power switch. Wait two seconds, then press and hold the Bluetooth pairing button for three seconds. You should see a light on the keyboard start blinking — usually white or blue. This blinking light means the keyboard is in pairing mode and broadcasting its signal.
The keyboard will stay in pairing mode for about two minutes, so you have time to complete the next step. If the light stops blinking before you finish, press the pairing button again for three seconds to restart pairing mode.
Selecting the keyboard from your device's Bluetooth list
Look at your device's Bluetooth settings screen. Within a few seconds, you should see the Logitech keyboard appear in the list of available devices — it will usually show as "Logitech K" followed by numbers or letters. Tap or click on it to select it.
Your device may ask you to confirm the pairing or enter a PIN code. If it asks for a code, try entering 0000 or 1234 — these are the defaults for most Logitech keyboards. If neither works, check your keyboard's manual for the correct PIN. Once you confirm, the keyboard is paired and ready to use.
What to do if the keyboard does not appear in the list
If the keyboard does not show up after 30 seconds, the pairing button may not have been held long enough. Turn off the keyboard, wait five seconds, turn it back on, and hold the pairing button for a full five seconds this time. Make sure the blinking light appears before you look at your device's Bluetooth list again.
If the keyboard still does not appear, restart your device completely — turn it off and back on — then repeat the pairing steps. Sometimes a device's Bluetooth radio needs a fresh start. If you have paired this keyboard to another device before, unpair it from that device first, as some Logitech keyboards can only be paired to one device at a time.
Using the keyboard after it is paired
Once paired, straightforward turn on the keyboard and it will reconnect to your device within a few seconds. You do not need to go back into Bluetooth settings or press any buttons — the connection happens automatically. If the keyboard does not reconnect after 10 seconds, toggle your device's Bluetooth off and back on, then turn the keyboard off and on again.
If you want to use the keyboard with a different device, turn off the keyboard, go to that new device's Bluetooth settings, and look for the keyboard in the list of previously paired devices. Tap it to reconnect. You can switch the keyboard between devices this way without re-pairing each time.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I pair one Logitech keyboard to multiple devices at the same time?
Most Logitech Bluetooth keyboards can only be actively connected to one device at a time, though you can pair it to several devices and switch between them. To switch, turn off the keyboard, go to the new device's Bluetooth settings, and select the keyboard from the paired devices list. The keyboard will disconnect from the old device and connect to the new one.
Why does my keyboard keep disconnecting?
Disconnections usually happen because the keyboard is out of Bluetooth range (move closer to your device), the keyboard's battery is low (replace the batteries), or another device is interfering with the signal. Try moving your device and keyboard away from other electronics like microwaves or cordless phones. If the problem continues, unpair the keyboard and pair it again from scratch.
How do I unpair the keyboard if I want to pair it to a different device?
On Windows or Mac, go to Bluetooth settings, find the keyboard in the list of paired devices, and click the option to remove or forget it. On iPad, iPhone, or Android, go to Bluetooth settings, tap the information icon next to the keyboard, and select forget or unpair. Once removed, the keyboard is no longer paired and you can pair it to a new device.
What if the pairing button is stuck or will not press?
If the button feels stuck, do not force it — you may break it. Try pressing it with a straightened paperclip or a pen tip instead of your finger, as some buttons are recessed. If it still will not press, the button may be physically damaged and the keyboard may need to be replaced or sent to Logitech for repair.
Do I need to charge the keyboard before pairing it?
No, but the keyboard does need enough battery power to turn on and broadcast its Bluetooth signal. If the keyboard will not turn on, replace the batteries (most Logitech keyboards use AA or AAA batteries) or charge it if it has a rechargeable battery. Check your manual to see which type your model uses.
