Don't know if it's the keyboard or my kindle fire. Are they compatible or is my keyboard defective. Didn't come with a manual

I would check to see if the software installed, change your USB port, and if none of that works the keyboard may be defective. Usually it is a software conflict. I wish you the best of luck.

It didn't occur to me to try but I would have thought that most of the issues would lie with Android i.e. they would be independant of the keyboard itself. Does android have a key assigning function? I haven't seen one so you migth need an app. Sorry.

I brought the case/keyboard and a separate adapter and it does not work as advertised on the kindle fire. I'm very disappointed.

I do not know if it works on a regular kindle fire. I actually sent mine back because there were two letter "e" and no "r". The e that was in the r's place was falling off. I bought a different keyboard which is working very well with my kindle fire HD. From the top of your kindle, pull down, go to wireless, then bluetooth and see if there is a place to pair your kindle with a keyboard.

Not an answer, but giving more information. I see 6 answers to this question and none of them tells us what adapter to buy, GEEZ. I'm trying hard to figure it out. Now, my Kindle Fire 7" [non-HD] has a very small type A female 5-pin plug-in spot. They say the keyboard in this case has a type A male 2.0 connector.. You can tell I know nothing about all this. Now, will someone let us know what sort of adapter we should buy for this??? Please!!

Sorry I am an unhappy customer also. I have not been able to get the keyboard to work. Haven't been able to find the right cord for it to hook to tablet. It was advertised as universal but they really ripped customers off. I bought 2 of these things.

No, I have the Kindle Fire hd and they do not even register, you have to press extremely hard to get them to work, the tip is way to squishy, I am going to assume that they changed their quality since the other answers that say yes were written up to 2 years ago, they are no longer good quality

Can't help you there, as we got it for our Kindle Keyboard and it works great. Sorry this isn't more helpful to you.

@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 _______________

I have the same problem. It only worked for about 2 weeks and gives me trouble. I have tried all of the steps and they don't seem to work. I may try a replacement, and if that doesn't work will go back to Logitech which always works and has a bigger keyboard.

I have not tried this personally. However the Kindle Fire HD (note HD only) appears to be spec'ed with Bluetooth. Therefore I would imagine that the HD version would work with this keyboard.

Keep the user error answers to yourself Gina. Like the Kindle Fire HD 7", the lean series keyboard is a lemon.

If you have the Kindle with the help button, I would try calling them. They have helped me with many issues. It's worth a try! Good luck.

what if I bought an adapter for the fire's mini-usb port and connected that to a keyboard. Wouldn't it work then? Or is it a software communication problem that wouldn't be fixed even if I could get the fire and usb keyboard to physically connect to each other correctly?
