i don't know if this will help you, but I purchased a "cheap" keyboard online. It's actually not too bad, but it's not an original Apple brand.


To pair the new wireless keyboard to your iPad:


1. Turn bluetooth On (iPad under Settings)

2. Turn keyboard switch On. (of course, make sure batteries are in)

3. On your iPad, check underneath Bluetooth - Devices that "Discoverable" is activated and that your iPad is actively searching for a new device (your new keyboard).

4. To help the search, underneath the generic keyboard is a small button (on mine its black) with Connect inscribed beside it. You must press and hold down that button to get the pairing to go (maybe 10-20 seconds).

5. Soon you'll see "Bluetooth Keyboard ........... Connected" underneath Devices on your iPad.


Mission accomplished....it took me awhile to figure it out and almost packed up this keyboard and shipped it back to the seller.
