• Your device may be inappropriate with the Targus Bluetooth keyboard. To see if your device is featured, visit the Targus website’s list of compatible devices. You will need to use a different keyboard if it isn’t.
• The Targus keyboard being out of range could be another factor prohibiting a connection. Only devices within a 30-foot range of the keyboard can be used. Try again after moving closer to your device.
• Another possibility is that the keyboard’s batteries need to be changed since they are running low. See whether the issue is resolved by trying to replace the batteries.

Precautions: Check Your Keyboard

Check that your keyboard is turned on and close to your computer before you begin. Restarting your computer and the keyboard can help if it’s still not working.

If that doesn’t work, connect the keyboard to another computer. If the keyboard functions on another computer, there might be a problem with the first one. The keyboard might have a problem if it doesn’t function on any other PCs.

How to Fix ‘Targus Bluetooth Keyboard Won’t Connect’ Issue

Several troubleshooting steps can be taken if your Targus Bluetooth keyboard will not connect.

1. Turn On Your Keyboard

Check if your Targus Bluetooth keyboard is turned on first if it won’t connect. By pressing the power button, you can be done this. The keyboard is turned on if the power button is lit up. If not, hold down the power button for a short period until it turns on.

2. Ensure That Your Keyboard Is in Range

The device a Targus Bluetooth keyboard is trying to connect to is often out of range. This is because the keyboard can only connect to anything within around 30 feet of it. So if you try to use it with something farther away, it won’t function. If you’re unsure of the distance to your device, try moving closer to it to see if it helps.

3. Ensure Both Devices Are Awake

Before troubleshooting, make sure your computer and Targus keyboard are on. They could be unable to connect if either is in sleep mode. Any key on the keyboard can be pressed to wake up your Mac. Press the power button to make your Targus keyboard active.

4. Reset the Keyboard

To accomplish this:

• Turn off the keyboard and then press and hold the power button for five seconds.
• Reconnect the keyboard after it has been reset.
• Try restarting your computer if nothing changes. You might need to delete and replace the keyboard drivers if that doesn’t work.

5. Update the Keyboard Software

Update the keyboard software if your Targus Bluetooth keyboard won’t connect. First, go to the Targus website and download the latest software for your keyboard model. Then, follow the installation instructions to install the software on your computer after downloading it. You may also try restarting your computer to see if it fixes the issue.

6. Try a Different Bluetooth Connection

Sometimes the difficulty is the keyboard’s connection. Plug a Bluetooth dongle into a different USB port. Try restarting your computer if you’re using a built-in Bluetooth adapter. A driver upgrade may also be necessary.

7. Contact the Manufacturer

If you’re experiencing problems connecting your Targus Bluetooth keyboard, contact the manufacturer. They can help troubleshoot or replace the keyboard if needed. If you call, have your keyboard’s model and serial number ready so that they can help you quickly. If none of that works, you might need to change the keyboard.
