You should check which model you bought, it will be listed in your Amazon order confirmation email. Having said this, it sounds like you may have bought the K780 which I have previously mentioned. The small USB object you found is a Logitech unifying receiver which comes with the K780 (not sure about other models) and it allows you to use the keyboard also with devices which don’t have Bluetooth such as a desktop PC. You would simply plug the USB receiver in an available front or rear USB port on the computer and you can then use your keyboard with that PC, you may have to pair it or you may not, that I can’t remember since I use my K780 with my laptop as well as my iPhone, but my laptop also has Bluetooth. If this is the keyboard you have, you can pair it with up to 3 devices and switch between them by pressing F1, F2 and F3. I have mine paired to my laptop on F1 and my iPhone on F2. Since I also installed the Logitech Options software on my laptop so that the function keys can be used as traditional function keys without having to press the FN key (second in from the very left at the bottom, in between the left Control key and the Windows key), I have to press FN + F2 to switch from my laptop to my iPhone, but since on the iPhone the function keys act like media keys, F1, F2 and F3 can be pressed without a modifier, i.e. if I want to switch back to my laptop I simply press F1, the switching takes maybe a second or two and is completely seamless. Not sure if you already paired the keyboard to your iPhone, but assuming you want to use it as the main keyboard on your iPhone, make sure Bluetooth is turned on in your iPhone in Settings > Bluetooth and just stay in that area. Now press F1 on the keyboard and hold it for 5 seconds, the Logitech keyboard should now show up in your list of Bluetooth devices on the phone. Again, I can’t remember if this happens automatically, but if you don’t get a request to enter the pairing code, double tap on the listing for the keyboard on the iPhone and it will display the pairing code, you can swipe back to it if you don’t get it right away (depending on how fast you have the speech rate set it may help to reduce it for this). The pairing code needs to be entered on your keyboard and you can’t be too slow about it or it will time out in which case you just double tap the keyboard listing again and a new code will display. If you have the K780 then it has a full numeric pad on the right and you can enter the code there which I find much easier and faster than doing it on the number row. Once you have successfully paired the keyboard you will have to learn all the keyboard commands, if you do a search in the web archive for Bluetooth keyboard commands you probably find lots of posts and I wouldn’t be surprised if Applevis had a comprehensive listing of available keyboard commands on their website.

Good luck, Sieghard From: viphone@googlegroups.com <viphone@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of Christopher Chaltain Sent: Monday, June 17, 2019 4:06 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com; gvnin...@gmail.com Subject: Re: have a couple of questions about a bluetooth keyboard that I got to use with my Iphone There's nothing special about the double A batteries, and there's no reason to get a fresh pair. Alkaline batteries have a very long shelf life. For the most part, bluetooth and keyboards are standard, so there shouldn't be any problem using the same bluetooth keyboard across multiple devices. I've used the same keyboard on Linux, Windows, Android and IOS. A lot of bluetooth keyboards designed especially for the iPhone just have the key caps labeled with the Apple names, such as command and option instead of control and alt. There may be some high end macros built into the keyboard that will only work with certain devices, but generally they'll just work.

If you can, please ask the problem that you have, if he can help. In the item description it will be wrote if the item is in perfect condition, or if it has any problem. If you find anything that is not found in the description, better to ask for a refund if you are not happy, or let it go and carry with the item. Find the model in the Logitech website, or if it’s very old, in Google or other sites. When you find the exact model by the pictures, look if the keyboard is compatible with iPhone, because Android Bluetooth is not the same of iPhone’s and they are incompatible between them. You must see that before the buy. That’s all I can say for now. Best regards.

I just bought a logitech bluetooth keyboard to use with my new iPhone. I don't recall the model number, but it was one that I had heard mentioned on this list. I don't know if I'll have to send it back to amazon and get my money back. I didn't realize that when I took the back off my keyboard to check the batteries, that a small USB object was also in a small compartment along the back of my keyboard. The back part that is on the battery compartment seems rather loose, but I think it will stay on. I really like the large size of the buttons, and the keyboard seems very ruggedly built. Is this loose back compartment normal. I think it takes 2 double A. batteries. Are these special double A. batteries? Should I get completely fresh batteries to use in my keyboard?
