Hi Patricia, I checked out a video on youtube & followed it. Maybe you may want to try that to. Dianne

Look up "settings" on your HDX and follow instructions. Or follow the instructions that come with the keyboard and cover. Too long to go step by step in so little space.

I'm not sure, it seems like a standard keyboard to me so I didn't really worry about thatI think it comes with instructions, if I'm not mistaken. If not you can always google the item and find instructions easily that way

I googled it right now and it says you can pair your kindle fire to a bluetooth keyboard. ;) I bought it for my daughter she loves it.

Hey Nancy, there is no reason why not, it's just a standard Bluetooth keyboard. It works fine with my Kindle HDX as well as with my Galaxy Note 3.

@M.Herrera. Nope. Was told by more than one person including Amazon CS that the HDE is incompatible with the Fire and their is no USB host settings to change on the Fire. I am continuing to look for a case/keyboard and hopefully Amazon will read these posts and add a patch or upgrade! Respectfully: Larry Lambert _______________

No. I say this only after trying it on three different kindles (kindle fire, kindle fire hd, and the latest kindle fire hd...not hdx though). I believe it needs at the very least the software to recognize it, but I think it goes down to the firmware, so simple software programs are not even the answer. Kindle just doesn't support external input devices (cd, harddrives, mouse, keyboard,etc. through the micro usb port). You can hook up to a computer using this plus another usb cable with standard male ends on both sides. You probably already have one cable that does that now. If you want a mouse and keyboard, and the kindle has bluetooth, I believe you can find something there, but I haven't tried that.

Sorry but I did not try to use it on a kindle,so I do not know. The tablet I put it on had a place to plug in keyboard, so if kindle does not have the right usb connection, I assume that the keyboard would not work even if the case fit.

It's not up to the keyboard.It's a known issue that the Kindle Fire HD doesn't have much (if any at all) out of the box support for Bluetooth mice.

This is a standard USB keyboard for a desktop computer, with a full size USB connector. While I don't personally own a Kindle, I seriously doubt it would work - I don't even think you would be able to plug it in.

I purchased this item and you need to purchase an additional USB/micro cord. It is not directly compatable with the kindle fire HDX or really anything that does not have a USB port. I really did not like this product for my kindle fire HDX and I would not exactly recommend it. I would recommend getting a wireless keyboard case. I ended up purchasing one of those, and absolutely love it! This product is now laying around my house sadly :( Hope this helped!

Hello. I ended up sending this one back, it does not work with my Kindle Fire HD. This keyboard is a (2nd gen) and will not sync with the Kindle. I did find another one and it works beautiful and is a secure fit. GreatShield LEAN Series Ultra Slim Leather Case with Keyboard and Stand for Amazon Kindle Fire HD 7" Inch Tablet (Black / Blue) by GreatShield - And pay close attention to which port you plug your charger in, you will think you are charging the Kindle and you'll be plugged into the keyboard instead. Its easy to do.

An external keyboard will work. Either USB plug in or bluetooth. I used a plug in keyboard and it worked fine. All keys functions worked. I used a capacitive stylus that worked great.

I would think any universal usb cord would work. I'm not too familiar with Kindles, so I'm just guessing.

I would suggest that you reset your keyboard to the tablet. If it doesn't work, then you might just have a defective keyboard and ask to have it replaced.

There are instructions in the box (4 steps). It's on the sheet that has "Bluetooth Keyboard Cover" on the front. If you don't see it, let me know and I can transcribe it or scan it into PDF and email to you. I started typing it but some of the details have pictures associated with it so it's probably easier to scan and email.

Turn on kindle...open menu..go to wireless...then bluetooth...make sure bluetooth is ON...then make sure headset is charged...hold down larger middle button until light alternates between blue and red...this puts headset in pairing mode...wait for kindle to recognize headset...you should then see your headset listed in paired items...then hold button again to turn off. Then...hold button to turn on again...watch for CONNECTED under your headset listing.
