Designer compact keyboard pairing error

Question

I usually use a Bluetooth keyboard connected to my tablet and desktop.

The mouse keyboard center program has a function to lock function keys, which I often used when I needed keys f1 to f12.

The problem is that the function keys were locked and paired with the tablet.

Because the mouse keyboard center program cannot be used on the tablet, it is impossible to unlock the function on the tablet. How can I unlock the function and freely use pairing switching?

The desktop's mouse keyboard center program does not recognize the keyboard paired with the tablet.

I was so angry last year that I didn't get a proper answer, so I forgot about it, but now I'm writing it again because I remember it.

Would you be able to understand Google Translate if you wrote it down line by line?

Answer 1

To unlock the function keys on your Bluetooth keyboard paired with your tablet, you may need to check if there is a specific key combination on the keyboard itself that can toggle the function lock. Many keyboards have a dedicated key (often labeled as "Fn" or similar) that, when pressed in combination with another key (like "Esc" or one of the function keys), can unlock the function keys.

Since the Mouse Keyboard Center program is not available on the tablet, you might not be able to change the settings directly through software. If your keyboard has a manual or documentation, it may provide specific instructions on how to toggle the function lock without the software.

If you are unable to find a solution through the keyboard itself, consider reaching out to the manufacturer's support for assistance on unlocking the function keys or switching the pairing between devices. They may have additional methods or tools that can help you resolve this issue.

Hello 대체왜안됨1, thanks for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A forum.

I’m really sorry this has been such a frustrating experience for you. I understand how important it is to get your keyboard working the way you need. Before we try to change any settings, the first thing we need to check is whether the Microsoft Mouse and Keyboard Center (MKC) can actually see your keyboard when it’s connected to your Windows desktop.

1. Press the pairing button on the top-left of the keyboard repeatedly to cycle through the three Bluetooth slots until the LED shows the slot paired to your Windows desktop.
2. On your desktop, open Settings > Bluetooth & other devices and confirm the keyboard shows as Connected.
3. Open Microsoft Mouse and Keyboard Center. If the keyboard is detected, it will appear in the device list, and you’ll be able to access settings like the Fn lock toggle.

Once we confirm MKC sees the keyboard, we can move on to unlocking the function keys and making sure the setting stays when you switch back to the tablet.
