The Keyboard is wireless. Just move the slider in the lower right corner over to "on" and give it a moment to sync with the tablet. That's the beauty of bluetooth. Actually, the answer from nrs83 below is more complete than mine. Good job, nrs83.

The Keyboard is usb and comes with two adapter cables one for mini and one for micro usb. So it should connect to any tablet that has a mini or micro port.

First, your Ipad must be bluetooth compatible for it to connect it. Secondly, the keyboard must be charged, once charged there is a on and off power button on side of keyboard. Thirdly, you must push the connection button and pair with Ipad.

Cable is included. You can use the wall charger from your ipad mini to connect the cable and charge it that way. It works great! Great keyboard, worth the money! The directions come with the keyboard. Very easy to follow and use. Once bluetooth is connected, you don't have to do it again. Supper easy! I hope this helps. Enjoy!

It has a large usb connection to the keyboard. If you have a tablet that has a mini usb connection, let the seller know.

Hi Lois, first of all there should be a cord for charging your keyboard so make sure you get that. You need to turn on your bluetooth activation on your iPad and it will list the keyboard as an option to choose and then once you click on it, it should sync.

Make sure the Bluetooth on both devices is on. You should see the keyboard as an option in the Bluetooth menu. Select it and the iPad should ask if you want to connect.

You go to the settings app, then click on blue tooth, make sure it's on. On the keyboard = make sure that it has been charged, the power power slide button is on, then press the connect button on the keyboard. On your iPad it should should you the devices and will say Bluetooth keyboard. You click that then it should pair up.

I had the same problem initially. Make sure Bluetooth it turned on in settings for your iPad. You have to have the iPad installed with the magnets towards the bottom. You'll know this is right because the device will snap into place with the magnets. Once it snaps into place you'll see the light on the keyboard come on and you can pair the device in settings.

Turn keyboard on. Use Bluetooth setup on iPad to find keyboard. Type the required key sequence on keyboard.

Yes however, the Bluetooth connection is unreliable. That is, after connection and use, it will not always reconnect on next use. In those cases (I estimate about 70% of the time) you will have to turn off BT and reconnect the keyboard with the mini retina iPad.

Turn it on and push the bluetooth button on the keypad. Then go to bluetooth on your iPad and turn it on and then select bluetooth keyboard and it will "connect" then it's ready to use

You have to own a device (tablet, smart phone, computer) that has a built in Bluetooth and will connect wirelessly to the keyboard. They will pair each other and work as long as there is a connection between the two. You don't need to buy a separate Bluetooth device to make it work. Just be sure your devices are Bluetooth capalbe. I am typing this on an ipad with a keyboard that is operating via the Bluetooth connection. I hope this helps answer your question.

I am unable to use this with my Ipad 2, when connected it thinks it is a keyboard.
