Not really. Tell us why exactly you think you need to do this. What exactly is not working right with your keyboard?

Would you be willing to share? Stuck here with same issue.

Well, as far as I know you can't. If you're trying to pair it to a new computer, you should be able to hold down the power button to force it into pairing mode as long as you hold the button down, though.

I was shocked to find it worked to turn off and on the keyboard 5 times (or was it three??) in a row, and suddenly it appeared in my Bluetooth device list as a new device to join.

So just turn off, turn on, turn off, turn on, turn off, turn on, turn off, turn on, turn off, turn on and then just wait a few seconds it shows up to join again.

I guess I get it—for a device that has no other reset button, etc., you have to do something strange like this. But it seems like that would either be well documented, or they would just put a bloody paperclip reset hole on the thing!

what problem exactly do you have? What on your keyboard is not working correctly?

Sorry Tom, looks like no one is willing to share what the actual issue is ... nor is the OP willing to share their solution. Guess it will remain a mystery. ;)

Thank you for providing your solution to this problem. I'm glad you worked it out. This will definitely help others who come across this same issue.
