I have a PS3 Slim and I seem to have to repair this keyboard every time I turn my PS3 back on, or it isn't recognized. Is there a way around this?

I am answering on behalf of the DBTech unit not with regard to the PS3, but using it with an android TV-box. I had a similar situation, about a month ago, every time the android started up. I found that I had to turn off the keyboard and turn it back on again close to the android (Bluetooth receiver) in order for it to read it again. I believe this was caused by a low battery. I concluded this because once I charged the battery, after a complete drain, this was no longer an issue. NOTE: I have noticed that occasionally the keyboard likes to go into standby mode, which requires a push of a button to wake it but then it functions as normal.

I absolutely loved this keyboard - with windows 7. I have windows 8.1 now and it disconnects randomly for periods of time, and then tries to partially "catch up" when it reconnects. Its terrible.

You can always reprogram the key using a shareware and put sticker on the keys to re-label. You can make a AAAAAA keyboard if you wish.

I have the same issue plus some extra issues as well. My keyboard never worked ok. I ended up without using it. Is still on the original box because i cannot work like that. Nice design but with too man problems. Not a good keyboard.

I had mine for about a year before it stopped working. It would seem in some cases a reinstall of drivers helps a lot. What you need to do is verify you didn't get a doa and if so get the rma started asap. My symptoms were, upon boot or plug in, lights would work momentarily then all feedback would stop, lights would go out, and Windows reports an unrecognized device. Some more testing might have been prudent on my part but I was to frustrated to give it the time. Also, no experience with the keyboard.

It recognizes the keyboard after non use but doesn't reconnect instantly, if you hit a couple of keys and wait a few seconds it reconnects. I usually shut mine down anyway to extend battery life though.

I had same problem. I took to Micro solf store they were unable to fix and found it was a surface soft ware did not work properly. You can try attached with other surface to check your keyboard if it work. Otherwise your need a new keyboard. Good luck.

Although my keyboard worked perfect from the start,sounds like yours is defective. I would return it if i were you. Sorry you had a bad experience.

You should contact Kanex support if your keyboard is still under warranty they may replace it.

I have the slim and this didn't work. at the end I had to take it to get fixed at my local gaming store. not sure if it works on the original but I doubt it.

Not for me. The keyboard wouldn't even work on my ps3. Only where you can install the software from CD apparently.

Dude, we must be on different frequencies, lol. This is a perfect keyboard. But it is only designed to fit and function with a PS3 controller.

I've had the same issue. I started turning off the keyboard when not in use and it reconnects when I turn it back on. That's definitely not the best solution but it has worked ok for me. I don't know if you we're having the same exact issue, mine typically did this after it was dormant a minute or so.

I have my keyboard connected to the PS2 port, works fine. My mouse is a USB device.

i have never had this issue but if i did i would contact the manufacturer to see what options i would have...they may be able to offer a replacement...though for them to do so they will probably need the serial number and may even ask you to send the keyboard so that it can be matched with a new transceiver....just a note..though i have never had issues with my board i always have a standby wired keyboard on hand as well as a mouse....just in case.
