How is the keyboard connected

I did not have any problem at all. In fact, I sync'd with my older IPad 2 also and used it. I am really impressed with this item for the price, it works great and stays charged for a long time. I hope this helps you.

It uses Bluetooth technology to connect wirelessly to your iPad. There is a bit of set up needed but it's only about 5 minutes and it works well.

It uses a standard miniature usb cable. The connector to the keyboard is about 1/4" wide and about 1/16" thick.

The keyboard is not backlit and the thin strip connector had to be placed into reverse to how it was connected to the computer. It just worked when correctly connected.

What you see is the charging input that connects by USB like a phone charger. The keyboard does not have a USB port to plug a USB into. It's like the old blackberry charger port that uses USB cable to charge keyboard

I had the same issue, the keyboard never connected again. It's a piece of trash, get your money back if you can

I have no clue, however, I do know you need an adapter to connect it. Mine came with it. After that, its the same as any other keyboard I've used.

There is a USB connection on the side of the tablet that allows you to connect your keyboard.

I'm not in front of it, but I connected it recently and I believe there is a button on the top right of the keyboard that you press to put it in discovery mode, then go to your bluetooth settings and go through the process of discovering it and it should pick it right up. You'll need to enter a keycode that appears on your screen into the keyboard, then it should work.Of note, I had connected it previously, and it wouldn't pick it up when I tried to connect it. When I scanned for devices in windows 8, nothing would appear. I first had to remove the device from windows 8 (it was showing up in the list) and only then would it pick it up.

The user manual tells how to connect the keyboard to a computer (Windows based or a Mac), but you would have to buy a USB cable and a Casio USB Audio Device to do it. I have never done it and the details for connecting are a little vague.

I have had no issues connecting, after initial setup the keyboard turns on automatically when in connect the side magnets of the iPad just past the row of function keys (a blue light above the delete key indicates the keyboard is active and connected)

The keyboard on the unit I examined today was connected to and directly powered by the tablet through contacts on the keyboard folio behind where the tablet snaps in. It was not a bluetooth keyboard.

This is what the factory told me:Yes. It still needs to be connected in between the keyboard and the computer.Thanks

That's a good question. I only have the keyboard but the key board alone uses one USB port so my guess would be 2 USB Ports for the 2 together

There r directions that come with it, but its connected thru blue tooth . As i remember u hold a couple buttons down to sync it with ur phone, and from them on its connected as soon as u turn it on . Great keyboard! I love mine.

connecting the keyboard is tricky and has to be placed just right once you connect use the charger to charge both units at once. Or trying charging the tablet and key board separately then join together. I love mine and use it all the time. I hope this helps

I have no idea, and it does use bluetooth for the keyboard connection. But I only used it a couple times.
