Can't get Perixx Periboard to pair with Win 7 Asus Slate EP121 - nuthin' happens! The Slate has paired up fine with other keyboards. What to do?

1) If you have paired it with another device before, try impairing it from that device first (I have seen this as an issue before). 2) Also, if it is in your pair list, delete it from the list before attempting to pair. 3) Make sure the window that prompts you to enter the pairing code is not hidden in the background. 4) Try deleting all blue tooth devices from the Bluetooth device list before attempting to pair your keyboard. Some devices will only allow one paired device at a time. For instance, on some machines/tablets, I cannot connect a BT mouse and the BT keyboard at the same time, on other devices, I can. This is most likely the issue. 5) Try disabling the disabling or uninstalling the Bluetooth radio then search for new hardware. Then try to pair again after removing other Bluetooth devices.

Hey,I've been using mine for a couple of months now, and I haven't experienced the issues you're describing...I'd suggest you try using it with a different PC, and if it still misbehaves, contact Microsoft customer support - the keyboard is probably defective.

The device may need enabling in terms of being able to be found by the keyboard, as bluetooth devices are usually unfindable in bluetooth settings for security. If that isn't the problem, I don't know a solution. I returned this keyboard, but pairing worked for me, I just wanted something bigger.

I can't find any info on keyboard option for Asus ME 173X. I have a Asus memo pad 173x, can't find any external keyboard to go with it.

I received this keyboard for Christmas along with a high-quality Bluetooth dongle. It worked for a few minutes, but that's it. It seems to have a problem maintaining pairing with a Windows machine. By the way, I have a pretty standard built to order desktop with an Intel motherboard, dual core Intel CPU, 4 GB of RAM, etc. My point is that there are no proprietary parts inside my Wintel PC whatsoever. I have noticed that the only people who have had good luck with using this keyboard are people with Windows Vista-based laptops. Most laptops come with factory support for Bluetooth "built-in." Look at the success stories with this keyboard and Vista. Anything but laptops? I received this keyboard for Christmas along with a high-quality Bluetooth dongle.

Frances,I'm glad you reported this. I watched the demo video on Ergotron's website and noticed the platform on which the keyboard rests does not provide the same level of solid surface area a regular desktop does. I would consider myself someone who types with normal pressure but any movement of the keyboard would take some adjustment.

Just to be sure, I have the Dell Venue Pro 8. If you are asking about this device, yes, the Periboarf works. As a matter of fact, I am typing this message with the Periboard.ff fIn my opinion, the addition of a tethered mouse with the Periboard makes for quite a usable travel computer. All you have to have is a good OTG cable.

Well, crap. I bought it for my Nextbook Premium 7 and NOW I see it won't support an external keyboard. Anyone know a way around this?

Have you got it to work before? I purchased one of these keyboards and had to RMA it twice. I got my money back after that and ordered another. I never got mine to work though, even after extreme internetting to find a solution.

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.

Thanks for the heads up. That was actually the first thing I saw before I started calling tech support. That didn't work for me. It may work for you, though. I'll post on here to let you know if I have any luck with the tech swapping out my mainboard next week.

Hey Jonathan, did you find out about this or found another insert suitable for the kind of combo you have? (I have a similar one and am desperately looking for an insert solution!

I really don't know what the problem is because I have a Samsung smart tv and it recognizes the PerixxPeriduo perfectly. As in my pc I connected the little thing in the USB port and it works normally. See if the TV has more than one USB port and try them all. Good luck.

I used some small pieces of rubber and some zip ties... but the keyboard support does not come with any such contrivance.

I had this keyboard for a week and it has ghosting problems. Example, you can't press shift + x + arrow keys at the same time. Searching online for "microsoft sidewinder x6 ghosting" you'll find a bunch of articles about this and issues with other key combinations.

Hi. Yeah, it's a pain in the butt. SHARKK responded to my review to say that would fix it in the next release, but I'm not sure if they can do a firmware fix for existing models. I would definitely contact SHARKK support to ask how they intend to fix your problem: either a firmware fix or exchange your keyboard for one that works correctly. They seem to be genuinely concerned about providing good support.UPDATE JAN 22, 2014: I received the new version of the case yesterday from SHARKK. I charged the new KB before using it, then had it on for several hours today. I'm happy to report that it has not lost its connection yet. Much improved. Hi. Yeah, it's a pain in the butt.
