You may want to check your tablet settings to ensure that your Bluetooth is on. Also you will need to charge the keyboard.

I finally got it to pair. I had to giggled the power switch and finally the blue light came on. Unfortunately, I continued to have issues with the power switch and ultimately bought a new keyboard from Radio Shack.

Just paired it with a Dell Venue Pro 8 with Windows 8.1. Works like a charm.. giving me mouse and keyboard makes it much easier to navigate a small windows tablet

Hello Michel I bought this for my daughter, you have to sync the keyboard with the Bluetooth settings on your tablet...Turn on your keyboard and the tablet>go to settings on your tablet>Select Bluetooth>pair>it should pick up the keyboard because you will see a little icon that looks like a keyboard...Good Luck

I have a Surface pro and keyboard works fine. You might try to install MS upgrades if any. The ARM processor is very different than the Intel which I have.........

Make sure the keyboard is fully charged, be sure you have Bluetooth turned on in your tablet's settings. Press the button in the upper right of the keyboard to connect.

I am running windows 7 on my desktop and have had problems with it pairing. It finds the keyboard but won't give me a pairing key to enter. It works about half of the time.

I've never used a Dell Venue 8 pro. I believe it is Dell's version of a tablet like the iPad. If that is correct, than I believe it would work well w/no problems.

If your Dell Venue 8 Pro typically uses a bluetooth keyboard then this would probably be a good keyboard for you.

I'm not sure. There should be. The Dell Venue 11 and the keyboard were a complete nightmare for me. There were so many issues the devices were not usable for any acceptable amount of productivity. On the keyboard issue, it would disconnect every 30 seconds to 2 minutes. Returned everything and got my money back. Best of luck with yours.

First, I am presuming that you have a USB keyboard, not a bluetooth or a standard PC type. If this is the case, look on the edge of your tablet and find a mini-USB port (it should be about 1/4 inch long, wider on one edge than the other. Take the USB cable from the keyboard, plug it onto the big end of the adapter, and plug the small end into the mini-USB you found above. The keyboard should now work with the tablet.

With an OTG adapter, I was able to use this with my Dell Venue Pro and add my external monitor and wireless keyboard. The drawback would be that it does not charge the device when connected. Also, you would not get any USB 3.0 speeds from the USB 3.0 ports since the USB connection on the Dell is only 2.0.

I just got this keyboard for my Dell Venue 8 Pro. Keyboard works with tablet. However there is a serious flaw. The top left retention bracket will cover both Windows button and Micro USB port. In order to charge, you have to take out that bracket every time, which is not easy. Also it will press Windows button accidentally.

I believe so, It's a long time since I did the pairing. I think your tablet presents a pairing code that then has to be entered by the keyboard.

Yes, it works on my Dell Venue 8 Pro tablet. Although it, the mouse cursor, is not as smooth as one would hope.

It's a little touchy with USB keyboards. Some work, some don't, and I haven't found one that works with all apps. If you have a keyboard you want to connect, try using the front USB port.

Jenn, thebest thing to do is to turn on your keyboard first and then turn on your bluetooth, if it says paired then that means the tablet recongnizes it. but its still not connected. If it says it is not connected to input device then click the little bluetooth button next to the on and off switch, a little blue light will start blinking, hit scan on your tablet and bam, it should connect.
