[Electronics-talk] blue tooth paring

[Christopher Chaltain]

And what kind of computer are we talking about? A Mac or a PC? If a PC, 
what version of Windows are you running?

On my Windows 7 box, I just typed bluetooth in the search field and 
arrowed down until I heard add a bluetooth device. I didn't go further, 
but at some point you'll be given a code you'll need to type on your 
keyboard to pair the keyboard with your PC. This assumes your computer 
supports bluetooth.

I know you didn't ask, but I'm not a big fan of putting a bluetooth 
keyboard on a computer. When the battery dies in your bluetooth 
keyboard, you won't know if it's the keyboard or the computer. You also 
want the keyboard to be recognized before your operating system boots, 
so you can use it with your BIOS. When I had a bluetooth keyboard hooked 
up to a computer of mine, I found that I was still grabbing a wired 
keyboard enough that it just didn't seem worth it. I'm a big fan of a 
bluetooth keyboard for a laptop, netbook, tablet or smart phone, but not 
something as immobile as a computer.
