To do this, click Add device, then follow the on-screen instructions. Some keyboards require a separate wireless dongle from the company in order to operate. Make sure that the device is connected and that the necessary drivers and software are updated if you are having trouble connecting.
Fix 4: Restart Your PC
Restarting your PC might also be a good option if your keyboard appears to be hooked up properly. It is a simple troubleshooting step to restart a PC in order to solve a variety of PC problems. It is likely that when Windows is restarted, it will “rediscover” the USB port and install the correct keyboard drivers. It should be the same for wireless keyboards as well. The process can be completed by right-clicking on the Start button and selecting Shut down or sign out > Restart.
Fix 5: Manage Keyboard Drivers
It’s worth checking the keyboard’s drivers depending on the device. It is necessary to install third-party manufacturer drivers on some advanced keyboards in order for them to function correctly. There are times when drivers can be faulty (or not installed), even on basic keyboards.
Select Device Manager from the menu after right-clicking the Start menu (or pressing the Windows + X on the keyboard). Upon opening Device Manager, scroll down and expand the Keyboard section. In order to check if there are any updates for the keyboard, right-click it and select Update driver.
The only way to fix this is to force Windows to reinstall the driver for your device (and reset your keyboard) if no updates are found. Choose Uninstall from the menu when you right-click your keyboard. Complete the uninstall process by following the instructions and reboot your computer afterward. Once your PC restarts, Windows should reinstall the keyboard driver automatically.
Fix 6: Troubleshoot Using Manufacturer Software
It may be necessary to install custom drivers or software if your keyboard has additional keys or controls. Software like this is often packaged with troubleshooting tools to assist you in solving problems. It’s possible to update drivers using the manufacturer app if you’re missing them, for instance.

Dead batteries are one of the most common reasons why the Apple Magic Keyboard doesn’t show up. It may be due to low or dead batteries that the Magic Trackpad cannot detect clicks, causing the “not showing” issue. In order to determine if there is an underlying issue, it is highly recommended that you check the Magic Keyboard’s battery level.
Users can check the battery status of their Magic keyboard by selecting the Bluetooth icon in the menu bar and selecting their trackpad. If the batteries are low, users can replace the battery or charge the Magic keyboard to resolve the issue. Nevertheless, if the battery is low, it is possible to replace it using these steps:
- If you press the power button, the Magic Keyboard will turn off.
- Turn the Magic Keyboard over and slide the battery cover off.
- Once the old batteries have been removed, replace them with new ones.
- You need to slide the battery cover backward to replace it.
- Once the Magic Keyboard is activated, try clicking again.
If you don’t see any clicks, even with a full battery, try connecting your Magic Trackpad with a Lightning to USB cable to your Mac. In the menu bar, the battery icon shows how much power the Magic keyboard has when connected to a Mac.
