I dont understand. I just bought a Wirless Keyboard a few days ago. I paired it with my computer and it was recognized and connected and functioned. However, when I unplugged the USB keyboard that I was using before I bought this keyboard, it was still connected and recognized, but it stopped functioning. Any ideas?

Is it an Apple Bluetooth keyboard? You've no doubt checked the batteries are OK, although they shouldn't have gone flat in a few days.
You could try re-pairing it to see if it sticks, and you may want to make it a favourite, which helped when my Magic Mouse kept losing the BT connection.
Using the wired keyboard delete the BT keyboard from BT Preferences. Pair it again and when it's (hopefully) connected from the BT prefs window bottom left, click on the 'cog' and select 'Show more options'. You should then get the opportunity to make it a favourite. Disconnect the wired keyboard and fingers-crossed.
I just tried that and it didn't work. Any other suggestions?
Not sure this will help, but it won't do any harm to try. PRAM reset:
Wireless keyboard only works when a USB keyboard is plugged in at the same time.
