#AMAZON KINDLE FIRE KEYBOARD CASE BLUETOOTH#
Note: If you really miss having a touchpad, you can easily connect a mouse instead! Here's my favorite Bluetooth mouse to use with Fire tablets. Like most things, though, I got used to it - and there are a few short-cut buttons on the keyboard to cut down on the number of times you have to tap the screen. This means that using your device is still somewhat screen driven, and at first it felt strange to me to have to use a combination of screen and keyboard in order to work on my tablet. The first thing you will notice when you go to use your new keyboard is that there is no touch pad. Using the Made for Amazon Bluetooth Keyboard for the Fire Tablet Just tap 'Pair' and you'll be connected and ready to go!Įvery time you use the keyboard in future, it will pair automatically. Tap that, and you will be asked to confirm that you want to pair your tablet with the keyboard. The blue light on the keyboard will begin to blink and - usually within seconds - the device name 'Fintie Keyboard' will pop up on your list of 'Available Devices' on your Fire tablet. The keyboard - which is made by Fintie, a company that specializes in device accessories - comes nicely packaged as seen below. I don't know if this problem has been rectified with new models of this keyboard, so I don't feel that I can continue to recommend it for use with the Fire HD 10 at this time. If you own this keyboard and are experiencing this problem, I would recommend contacting Amazon customer services as it seems they are aware of the issue. (Please note I don't have any influence with Amazon - I'm just a regular customer but a big fan of Fire tablets!). This weekend (November 2022) my keyboard developed a strange problem and the G, H, and spacebar keys all stopped working.Ĭoincidentally, a visitor to this site wrote to me at the same time to say she was experiencing the SAME issue.Ī search on Google revealed that this seems to be a common problem with this device and there have been multiple reports on the Amazon forums.Īlthough my keyboard is now out of warranty, I contacted Amazon today to describe the fault, pointing out that there had been many reports of the problem.
