Bluetooth Keyboard PIN

Split from this thread.

I am having the same issue; namely, when I try to pair my keyboard (to a Win10 Mobile device) it sees the keyboard (Listing it as a "Bluetooth 3.0 Keyboard, Input") as available to pair.   When I touch on the keyboard to pair and it asks for the pin.  I do not know the PIN and there is no default PIN for the device.  (I attempted to pair the Keyboard to an Android device, the Android device generated a new PIN and I entered that and it works with that device).

It appears that I need to wipe out the Win10 device's previous association with the BT keyboard so that I can start the pairing process again, but I cannot find any documentation on how to do that.

    In the last 24 hours, i have been scratching my head over this. 

    The above solution worked for me and i am giving this feedback on my BT mini keyboard.  I had this Bakker Elkhuizen M-board 870 Bluetooth keyboard on Channel 1 with my laptop working till yesterday morning  and After the updating to Windows 10, I experienced the similar issue as mentioned above, where the Laptop prompts for the PIN. I tried as the above and the it was not getting through.   Eventually this is what brought my keyboard attached to the laptop.

    1. As mentioned i was on channel 1 of the keyboard for laptop. I decided to take this out.

         I used my phone to pair the Keyboard on channel 1. i was able to type into my phone.  

    2.  I used the connect press button on the backside of keyboard for the Laptop to detect the Blue tooth keyboard. Once i see 

         the detection of the device displayed on the laptop screen under "add Bluetooth device",  i switched to channel 2 (using

         host select +2). 

    1. The laptop prompted for a PIN. I entered 0000 on the laptop keyboard and pressed the connect tab, As soon i see the entry

        is taken

    4.  I entered the 0000 on the Bluetooth keyboard and press enter on the Bluetooth keyboard. 

    1. Surprise surprise  i see the the Keyboard connected under the Bluetooth device on the laptop.

    To me this is weird and these products are flaky!!!!  though it is working and i am using it now  :-)

     I dont know if this makes you happy or cry!!!!

    I found solution for my keyboard... When it pops out to put PIN just tipe 4 digit number and click connect and then press the same 4 digit PIN code on your bluetooth keyboard and press enter/return

    Hope you found it useful. Please let me know.

    Thank You for Your tipp!

    I had to enter a 6-digit number on both devices and then it functioned, but after a lot of attempts.

    My devices: a medion Windows tablet and an ednet Bluetooth Keyboard.

    Many thanks, Sepp.
