Check Compatibility
Before you start pairing your Logitech keyboard, it’s essential to check if it is compatible with your device. Logitech keyboards are designed to work with various operating systems, such as Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android. However, it’s always a good idea to verify the compatibility to ensure a seamless pairing process.
To check compatibility, first, determine the model number of your Logitech keyboard. You can usually find it on the label at the back of the keyboard or in the product documentation. Once you have the model number, visit the official Logitech website and search for your keyboard model in the support section. Look for information on supported operating systems and devices.
If your Logitech keyboard is listed as compatible with your device’s operating system, you can proceed with the pairing process. However, if it’s not listed, it doesn’t necessarily mean that it won’t work. In some cases, Logitech keyboards may still function partially or have limited features on unsupported devices. It’s recommended to reach out to Logitech customer support for further assistance if you encounter any compatibility issues.
By ensuring the compatibility of your Logitech keyboard with your device, you can have peace of mind knowing that it will work seamlessly and provide an enhanced typing experience without any complications.
Check Battery Level
Before you begin the pairing process for your Logitech keyboard, it’s essential to ensure that the battery level is sufficient. A low battery can cause interruption during the pairing process or even prevent successful pairing altogether. Here are the steps to check the battery level of your Logitech keyboard:
- Locate the power switch or button on your Logitech keyboard. It is usually found on the top or side of the device.
- Turn on your keyboard by pressing the power switch or button.
- Look for an LED indicator light on the keyboard. This light provides information about the battery level.
- If the LED light is green or solid, it indicates that the battery level is sufficient. You can proceed with the pairing process.
- If the LED light is yellow or blinking, it indicates that the battery level is moderate. It is recommended to charge your Logitech keyboard before proceeding with the pairing process to avoid any interruptions.
- If the LED light is red or flashing, it indicates that the battery level is low. It is crucial to charge your Logitech keyboard before attempting to pair it with your device.
Charging your Logitech keyboard is typically done by connecting it to a power source using the provided USB cable. Refer to the product documentation or the Logitech website for specific instructions on how to charge your keyboard.
By checking the battery level of your Logitech keyboard, you can ensure a smooth and uninterrupted pairing process, eliminating any potential issues that may arise due to insufficient power.
Turn on the Keyboard
Once you have ensured the compatibility and checked the battery level of your Logitech keyboard, the next step is to turn it on. Turning on the keyboard is a simple process, and here’s what you need to do:

It’s important to note that not all Logitech keyboards have the same power button or switch placement, so refer to the product documentation if you are having trouble locating it. Additionally, some Logitech keyboards feature an automatic power-saving mode, where the keyboard turns off after a period of inactivity to conserve battery. To wake up the keyboard from this mode, simply press any key, and it should power on.
Once you have successfully turned on your Logitech keyboard, you are ready to proceed with the pairing process.
Put the Keyboard in Pairing Mode

- If your keyboard has a pairing button, press and hold it for a few seconds until the LED indicator lights start flashing or a pairing symbol appears on the keyboard’s screen (if applicable).
- If your keyboard has a pairing switch, flip it to the “Pairing” position and hold it there for a few seconds.
- Some Logitech keyboards may activate pairing mode automatically when turned on. In this case, you don’t need to perform any additional steps.
After activating pairing mode, the LED indicator lights on the keyboard may start blinking, indicating that it is ready to connect to a device. It’s important to note that the specific steps to enter pairing mode may vary depending on the model of your Logitech keyboard. If you’re unsure about how to put your specific keyboard into pairing mode, refer to the product documentation or visit the Logitech website for assistance.
Once your Logitech keyboard is in pairing mode, it’s time to proceed to the next step of the pairing process on your device.
