How To Connect Keyboard To Mac

It’s simple to connect a wireless keyboard to a Mac computer if you want to sit on the sofa and type on your Mac from across the room, or if you just want to try out a different keyboard.

A wireless keyboard may be connected to a Mac desktop computer, such as an iMac or Mac Mini, or even a MacBook laptop. When you attach a keyboard to a MacBook, it doesn’t take away the built-in keyboard; you can use either one.

How To Connect A Wireless Keyboard To Your Mac

1. Make sure the wireless keyboard is turned on.

2. Select “System Preferences” from the Apple logo in the upper left corner of the screen.

3. To access the connecting screen, simply click the Bluetooth icon.

4. Switch to active pairing mode on the keyboard. The method for doing this varies by keyboard, so check the instructions for yours.

5. Click on the device’s name when it appears on the screen in the Bluetooth window.

Before your computer recognises the wireless keyboard, you’ll probably have to tap a sequence of keys on it.

The Z key and the question mark (?) key are often used.
