Keyboard isn't working

When your MK270 keyboard isn't working, the problem is likely a lost a connection. The connection between the keyboard and the Unifying receiver can be lost for several reasons, such as:

• Low battery levels
• Moving the receiver from one USB port to another
• Moving the receiver to another computer
• Plugging the receiver into a USB hub or other unsupported device such as a KVM switch ( NOTE:  Your receiver must be plugged directly into your computer)
• Using your wireless keyboard on metal surfaces
• Radio frequency (RF) interference from other sources, such as:
  • Wireless speakers
  • Computer power supplies
  • Monitors
  • Cell phones
  • Garage door openers
