wireless keyboard compatibilty with pc

Have you had any luck?

I'm having the EXACT same problem. Using the Kensington USB Bluetooth Adapter on Windows XP. I too, am never allowed to enter the security code before I receive an "Error Pairing."

Thanks!

I found these instructions to finally work... (after following them then rebooting).

Hello all.
I would like to thanks BeDammit for his brilliant solution.
I' ll add some extra information to help people flawless set up their Apple Bluetooth keyboard on Windows XP.

1. Press Win Start button, choose Run and then type regedit and press enter to access windows registry editor.

2. Into the registry editor search for and select -> HKEY CURRENTUSER\Software\Widcomm\BtConfig\General

3. Set the key 'PinCodeWord' to a decimal value of 1111

4. Set the key 'UseFixedPin' to a decimal value of 1

5. Then attempt pairing. When you get to the greyed PIN screen type 1111 using OTHER keyboard THAN Apple Bluetooth keyboard.

6. Press the Return key on the Apple keyboard.

7. Enjoy your nice Keyboard.

I think this one is the best solution cause you don't have to mess with windcomm driver version.
Thanks again BeDammit.

Has anyone been successful? I followed the instructions below, but when I get to the grey screen to enter the pin, it doesn't work.

Can anyone help?

Actually, it is a lot simpler than that to get it connected with a Kensington USB adaptor. Since Kensignton uses the Toshiba bluetooth stack to pair, if you go to Toshiba's how to section, they have something that will help you pair the two together.

It worked for me to get it paired...but I am using an older keyboard (the one I got with my iMac) at the moment and I keep losing the signal (it works for a while then it just...stops). I hope that when I get the new aluminum one (perfect for me to use with my tablet while I am drawing in Photoshop) that it wont drop out.
