Connection Difficult - Bluetooth Dongle?

I bought this keyboard and mouse specifically because they support WiFi and Bluetooth. I have two computers and wanted to switch between them without plugging the dongle into the computer I'm currently using. Initially, only a mouse was connected to Bluetooth, and the keyboard never showed up in Windows. I tried several times and gave up. Then I noticed Bluetooth function keys 1 and 2 and wireless on the keyboard. There is a Bluetooth discover button on the top, but it never worked. So I tried the Fn key and the Bluetooth 2 key on the keyboard and suddenly it showed up in Windows to pair. Don't miss the Fn keys for connecting to WiFi and Bluetooth! So now when I connect to a computer I just press Fn & Wireless keys or on another computer Fn + Bluetooth 2 and it works! Unfortunately, the battery life isn't great, but these are rechargeable batteries. I use them for work and use them 8 hours a day. In about a week I'll need to charge my keyboard or mouse for several hours. But I can keep using them while charging. Most modern keyboards and mice use AA or AAA batteries that last several months. Not that keyboard-mouse combo, but a snazzy keyboard cover that keeps the keys free of dust and dirt. While this also prevents wear on the keys, the keyboard is harder to type on. I'm stubborn, so I keep typing in frustration. Another nice thing is that the keys are absolutely silent with a cover. If you can stand it, it's a good idea to have a keyboard case.

Pros
  • A dream come true
Cons
