Hey, recently picked up an X SE and am attempting to pair my Logitech MX Keys qwerty keyboard via Bluetooth. The keyboard shows up fine when I put it into pairing mode, but MPC fails to pair with it after clicking pair on the MPC. I have two MX keyboards and both fail to pair. Is this a known issue? Is there a list of compatible keyboards?

Thanks,

Both devices work BT flawlessly, mouse/trackpad features aren’t supported..

Thanks for the reply, Lampdog. I wonder if the difference is bluetooth le?

Update: I was able to get my MX Keys working with the logitech USB receiver/dongle plugged into the MPC, no bluetooth required. I just needed to pair the dongle with a computer first. Now I can just hit one of the 3 computer selector buttons on the MX keys to use it with the X.

Found BT keyboards to be very hit and miss. Some connect fine and others are just not seen.

One of mine took about 5 minutes to find. Connected fine. Next time I booted the x it wouldn't find it again.

Now I have a little custom Bluetooth keyboard with only a few buttons solely for shift and delete keys
