The Ubotie keyboard is a wireless keyboard optimized for gamers and enthusiasts who need a high-performing typing peripheral. However, as wireless keyboard devices go, connecting them to a Mac is not easy, especially for those who are not very familiar with them. Mac users should try powering the Ubotie keyboard, enabling Bluetooth on their Mac, putting the Ubotie keyboard in pairing mode, and connecting the Ubotie keyboard to their Mac. They must also test the keyboard and customize its settings to connect the Ubotie keyboard to Mac, Windows, and iPad devices.

Why Is My Mac Not Recognizing My Keyboard?
Your Mac doesn’t respond when you press the keys on your keyboard, or if pressing some keys has unexpected results, try the following.
Keys Are Not Working On An External Keyboard
If you use a wireless Bluetooth keyboard, ensure it’s turned on, and charged and that Bluetooth is on.
- Try disconnecting the keyboard’s Bluetooth connection and reconnecting it.
- Physically disconnect and reconnect the keyboard.
- Make sure the connector inserts completely into the port.
- Connect your keyboard to a different port or a different Mac.
- If this solves the problem, your Mac may need a repair service. Contact a professional repair service provider like Wireless Waves Repair for help.
- Connect a different keyboard to this Mac. If this solves the problem, you may need to use your keyboard for service.
If No Keys Work On Your Mac Laptop’s Built-In Keyboard
Your Mac may show a low battery alert you can’t see. Connect your Mac to an electrical outlet or an external keyboard to your Mac to see the alert.
If The Media Eject Or Caps Lock Keys Don’t Work
Try holding down the key longer to connect your Ubotie keyboard. These keys are slow to prevent an immediate response if pressed accidentally. Press and hold the Media Eject key until the Media Eject icon appears on the screen, and press and hold the Caps Lock key until the keys indicator light comes on.
