BTstack Keyboard FAQ
1.How to connect to Apple Bluetooth keyboard?
When turned on, the Apple keyboard automatically connects to the device it was connected last, e.g., your iMac or MacMini. In this case, to use it with BTstack Keyboard, you should temporarily disable Bluetooth on your Mac/PC. Then, turn off your Apple Bluetooth keyboard by pressing and holding the power button on the right side until the the green LED goes off. Then, press and hold the power button on your keyboard again, until the green LED starts to blink. The blinking LED indicates that the Apple Bluetooth keyboard is discoverable, or with other words, it is visible for other devices. Now start the BTstack Keyboard app, and it should appear in your device list. After you have connected to it from the BTstack Keyboard app, you can safely turn back on the Bluetooth on your Mac/PC, if you need it.
