Connecting your Redragon keyboard is usually straightforward, but the exact method depends on the connection type: wired or wireless. This guide covers both, ensuring you're up and running quickly. Let's get started!

Connecting a Wired Redragon Keyboard

Most Redragon keyboards use a wired USB connection. This is the simplest method.

Step 1: Locate the USB Port

Find an available USB port on your computer or laptop. These are usually rectangular slots on the back or side of your device.

Step 2: Plug in the Keyboard

Take the USB connector from your Redragon keyboard and firmly insert it into the USB port. You should hear a faint click.

Step 3: Check for Driver Installation (Usually Automatic)

Windows and macOS typically automatically install the necessary drivers. Your keyboard should work immediately. If it doesn't, proceed to the troubleshooting section below.

Connecting a Wireless Redragon Keyboard

Wireless Redragon keyboards use either Bluetooth or a 2.4GHz wireless dongle. The connection process differs slightly depending on the method.

Connecting a Bluetooth Redragon Keyboard

Step 1: Put Your Keyboard in Pairing Mode

Locate the Bluetooth pairing button on your keyboard. This is usually a small button, often labeled "BT" or with a Bluetooth symbol. Press and hold it until the indicator light starts flashing.

Step 2: Enable Bluetooth on Your Device

On your computer or laptop, go to your Bluetooth settings and select "Add Bluetooth Device" or a similar option.

Step 3: Select Your Redragon Keyboard

Your computer should scan for available devices. Select your Redragon keyboard from the list. You may need to enter a PIN code (usually "0000").

Step 4: Test Your Keyboard

Once paired, your keyboard should be connected and ready to use.

Connecting a 2.4GHz Wireless Redragon Keyboard

Step 1: Insert the Wireless Dongle

Insert the small USB dongle that came with your keyboard into an available USB port on your computer.

Step 2: Turn on Your Keyboard

Turn on your Redragon keyboard using the power switch (if applicable). The keyboard should automatically connect to the dongle.

Step 3: Check for Connection

Try typing on your keyboard. If it works, you're good to go! If not, consult the troubleshooting section.

Troubleshooting Connection Issues

If your Redragon keyboard isn't working after following these steps, try the following:

Check the USB port: Make sure the USB port is functioning correctly by plugging in another device.
Try a different USB port: Test with a different port on your computer.
Restart your computer: A simple restart often resolves minor connection problems.
Check the batteries (Wireless): If you're using a wireless keyboard, ensure the batteries are fresh and correctly installed.
Update drivers: Although usually automatic, manually searching for and updating drivers for your keyboard might help. (Search for "Redragon Keyboard Drivers" on your preferred search engine.)
Consult the manual: Refer to your keyboard's user manual for specific instructions and troubleshooting tips. The manual might have solutions specific to your keyboard model.
