The Keyboard can be connected in 2 different ways to the computer:

  • It can use the supplied proprietary Unifying dongle (located in the battery door below the keyboard): can be used for regular keyboard use outside VR and service updates.
  • use Bluetooth Smart (aka BLE): this is the mode if you want to use your keyboard in your Mixed Reality app. If you can connect a Microsoft MR controller, then you can also connect your keyboard.

Pair with Bluetooth smart:

Follow these easy steps:

  • press once on F2 button, the button's LED should start blinking
  • go to Bluetooth settings and select "Add Device"
  • choose Bluetooth and then look for a device named (aka friendly name) "Kbd K780 MR POC"
  • select it and enter the supplied digit code with the keyboard

Pair with Unifying:

  • go and download Logitech's unifying pairing utility
  • open it, follow the instruction to add a device
  • on the keyboard press the F1 key.
  • when prompted turn OFF and then ON your keyboard

Switching

You can use the F1 and F2 buttons to switch between the slot 1 (F1) (factory pre-paired on Unifying dongle) and the slot 2 that can be used for Bluetooth smart.

Power supplies:

The keyboard uses two different power supplies (as it still is a prototype):

  • make sure to have two fresh AAA batteries in the keyboard. The battery door is located on the bottom part of the keyboard.
  • plug a USB micro cable to a plug and to the keyboard to allow the powering of the tracking module.
