Most Logitech® Bluetooth keyboards also work across multiple devices, so you can switch between them using the Easy-Switch buttons.

Here’s a comparison table of how to pair a Bluetooth keyboard on different platforms:

How Do I Put My Bluetooth Keyboard in Pairing Mode?

Logitech Bluetooth keyboards are designed to make pairing simple. Here’s how to put your keyboard in pairing mode:

  1. Make sure your keyboard is ON. Locate the power switch, typically at the top right corner, and slide it to the ON position. If the keyboard doesn’t power on, try charging it using the included cable.
  2. Enter pairing mode. Press and hold one of the Easy-Switch keys (usually labelled F1, F2, or F3) for about 3 seconds. The LED above the key should start blinking rapidly. This means the keyboard is discoverable.
  3. Find the keyboard in your device’s Bluetooth settings and follow the on-screen instructions.

Where Is the Pairing Button on My Keyboard?

Most Logitech Bluetooth keyboards don’t have a separate pairing button. Instead, they use Easy-Switch keys to manage pairing. These keys allow you to pair and toggle between up to three devices. If you're using a model like the K380 multi-device Bluetooth keyboard, each Easy-Switch key corresponds to a different device slot.

Why Is There No Pair Button on My Bluetooth Keyboard?

Logitech keyboards use a streamlined approach by incorporating the pairing function into the Easy-Switch keys. This removes the need for a separate button, making it quicker to connect and switch between devices. If you're unsure which key activates pairing mode, check your user manual or follow the general method: press and hold one of the Easy-Switch keys until the LED blinks.
