Connect iPad to wireless keyboard

If you want to use your wireless keyboard on an iPad, you have to connect the two devices. We'll show you how.

Step 1: Disconnect the Wireless Keyboard from the Mac

You only need to do this step if your Mac is currently turned on and connected to the wireless keyboard:

1. On the Mac, click the Bluetooth icon in the menu bar at the top right.
2. Under "Apple Wireless Keyboard" you will now find the "Disconnect" option. Click on it.
3. Then a new connection between the iPad and keyboard can be established.

Step 2: connect the wireless keyboard to the iPad

1. Open the "Settings" app on the iPad and activate the function of the same name under the "Bluetooth" category.
2. After a few seconds, a device with the name "Keyboard" should appear. If not, turn the wireless keyboard off and on again.
3. If you tap the "Keyboard" entry, the two devices are paired.
4. To confirm, you have to type in the number displayed on the iPad on the keyboard and confirm with the Enter key.
5. The wireless keyboard and iPad are then connected.
