Connecting an Anker Bluetooth keyboard may seem tricky at first, but it’s actually quite simple once you know the steps.
This wireless keyboard helps you type faster and more comfortably on phones, tablets, and computers without any cables. Let’s go through every step carefully so you can start using your keyboard right away.
What You Need Before You Start?

Before pairing, make sure a few things are ready:
-
The Anker Bluetooth keyboard has enough battery power or is fully charged.
-
Your device’s Bluetooth feature is turned on.
-
The keyboard is close to your device (within a few feet).
-
No other Bluetooth devices are interfering nearby.
These small steps can prevent connection issues later.
Step 1: Turn On the Anker Bluetooth Keyboard
Find the power switch on your Anker keyboard. It’s usually on the side or back. Slide it to the “ON” position. A small LED light will blink or glow to show the keyboard has power.
If there’s no light, recharge the keyboard using the provided USB cable. Most Anker keyboards take a few hours to charge fully.
Step 2: Put the Keyboard in Pairing Mode
After turning it on, press and hold the Bluetooth button for a few seconds. Some models use the Fn + C or Fn + Bluetooth key combination instead.
Once the LED light begins blinking rapidly, your keyboard is now in pairing mode. This means it’s ready to be found by your device.
Step 3: Open Bluetooth Settings on Your Device
The next step depends on what kind of device you are using.

-
Click the Start button and open Settings.
-
Go to Devices, then select Bluetooth & other devices.

Step 4: Pair the Keyboard with Your Device
Once your device shows “Anker Keyboard” or a similar name on the list, tap or click it.
Some devices may ask for a code to confirm the connection. If you see a code on your screen:
After that, the blinking LED light will stop. That means your keyboard is connected successfully.
Step 5: Test the Connection
To make sure it’s working, open any text app like Notes or Word and type a few words.
If letters appear on your screen, the connection is good.
If nothing happens, repeat the steps or restart your device before trying again.
Step 6: Reconnecting Next Time
Once you’ve paired your Anker keyboard, you don’t need to do it again. Your device will remember it.
Turn on Bluetooth and power on the keyboard, and they will reconnect automatically within a few seconds.
If the connection doesn’t happen automatically, open Bluetooth settings, find the keyboard name, and tap Connect.
