oh! My apology. Now I see what you're asking! my bad. you know… I never had any luck getting it to pair with any other device. it's kind of funny. I got it to pair with an old android tablet that I had running ice cream sandwich, but once I rooted The device and installed Cianoginmod jellybean, it really messed things up regarding the Bluetooth communication. just another reason why I do not route, or hack/jailbreak my devices. I used to, but not anymore. anyway, I'm going off on a bit of the tangents. The point is, I was unable to get it to pair very easily with any type of computer unless it was running OS X. I had an old windows XP laptop, which had Bluetooth, and I was completely unable to get that to work. just for clarification, I don't mean the Bluetooth didn't work in a hole, I mean it did not work with the Apple keyboard. I could not even get the dad blame thing to show up in the list of devices which could be paired/connected. yes. I did make sure that the device was in discovery mode. trust me. I'm not that far gone. even that didn't work. Now, this being said, any other type of Bluetooth keyboard, headset, Bluetooth speaker, etc., I could get two pair no problem. So I know that this is not a problem with the Bluetooth Stack. I have heard of people who have done certain hacks which supposedly, keyword… Supposedly… Were supposed to work… However I tried them, and never had any success. plus, I wouldn't recommend doing them, unless you darn well know what you're doing. Some of them involve going into regedit and manually editing the registry. one of them even involved D compiling a DLL file, and then manually editing it by hand. Better you than me, if that something you want to try. more power to you. I'll let you be the guinea pig. The bottom line being, I have tried everything, and cannot get the keyboard to work on a Windows machine, or any other device, with the exception of that android tablet before I rooted The thing.
