How do I switch between devices when connected to multiple devices via Bluetooth?

 

The Slim X3 keyboard allows you to pair with up to four devices. You can switch between them by pressing the corresponding Bluetooth button (1, 2, 3, or 4) on the keyboard. Be sure to pre-assign your devices to each desired Bluetooth button.

 

Is there a way to use the Slim X3 keyboard with FileVault enabled?

While the Slim X3 keyboard cannot be used for password entry at startup with FileVault enabled, it will work as normal once you log in and the Bluetooth connection is re-established. To avoid issues, you may temporarily disable FileVault or use an Apple keyboard for login purposes.

How do I enter characters with accent marks?

 

For Mac users, you can follow the steps outlined in the guide Enter characters with accent marks on Mac.

For Windows, this function isn’t supported natively. ALT Codes may work, but this hasn’t been fully tested as our keyboards were primarily designed for Apple devices.

 

 

Keyboard Battery Percentage Indicator

 

Our keyboards do not support the battery percentage feature on macOS similar to the Apple Magic Keyboard or Mouse. macOS may display ~60% even when fully charged.

Instead, the keyboard notifies you when low on battery via the power LED indicator at the top right:

The LED light will blink red when it has reached below 15%.

 

 

Will the backlight key(s) of the keyboard work when it is not paired to a host device?

 

No. The backlight key(s) require communication with a host device to function. Without a paired device, the backlight will not turn on.

 

How do I enable Num Lock when using this keyboard on a Windows computer?

 

The Clear key will act as the Num Lock key when using Windows.
