You shouldn't have to install anything. Try this: in the bar at the bottom of the screen, on the right side, there should be a button that says "Switch Keyboard". Press that, and there should be an entry at the top of the list that says "Use physical keyboard", with a switch next to it. Ensure this switch is on. If this doesn't show up, that means it can't see the keyboard currently. Make sure the keyboard's physical switch is turned on, then hit the shift key a couple times to make sure it's not in sleep mode, wait a few seconds, and try again. If it still doesn't work, try re-pairing the keyboard. You shouldn't have to install anything.

When I open up the Nook, I check to make sure the bluetooth on the Nook is searching. That is a symbol in the upper right hand corner of the screen. I then turn the keyboard on. (I also make sure I keep it charged up regularly. It doesn't have an indicator as to when its battery is low.) When I turn the keyboard on, the bluetooth symbol in the upper right hand corner goes to BLUE. If it doesn't, I'm not connected. I may have to turn it off then on again. When the keyboard is properly connected, it should be the default keyboard and I don't have anything to switch. Hope that helps.

Mine didn't work at first either until I paired it a second time. Not sure if this is the exact sequence, but you may try this:1. Turn off the keyboard.2. Disable Bluetooth on the Nook.3. Power down the Nook and restart.4. Enable Bluetooth on the Nook.5. Turn on the keyboard.6. Follow instructions for pairing the keyboard again.It appears the manufacturer left a few steps out of their instructions and left it for us to figure out through trial and error.

I never got one of this brand because they were out of stock and wound up getting the one from Poetic. It looks exactly the same - probably all from the same manufacturer with different branding. You have to be a little bit patient. Make sure you have pushed and held down for a few seconds the button to the right of the on/off switch on the keyboard after you have turned it on. Settings has to say it is "paired" not merely connected. When everything is working, the blue light on the keyboard does not flash; after pairing, wait until it stops flashing, then try it again.

Well I don't know what went wrong. After the Nook sees you keyboard you have to pair it and the status should be connected.Before you can start typing you have to approximy point at the place were you want to start typing. With the direction keys you can exactly go to the place were you want to be.You can also use a bluetooth mouse for the pricise pointing that works great.Hope that this helps you. As the bluetooth keyboard is on on my Nook the screen keyboard does not appear.

Well, crap. I bought it for my Nextbook Premium 7 and NOW I see it won't support an external keyboard. Anyone know a way around this?

In fact this specific product does not work with Nook HD +, neither work with ipad 4th gen with ios7.I have tried repeatedly with those particular devices - does not work! Works with MS Surface Pro with windows pro 8.1 (full fledged desktop OS on tablet PC). Tested - works perfectly with any bluetooth enabled laptop - in my case MacBook Pro 2012 running different OS systems: Mac OS X Mountain Lion or Mavericks; Windows 7, Windows 8, Linux Mint 14. What I'm writng is not a presumtion but is a personal experience.

Kristen, I had quite abut if difficulty as well, with my nook. I repeated the steps over and over until it was finally "recognized" but it didn't work! I returned it and got another, and the same thing happened. I'm sorry but I was fed up and gave up :(

Just as having a wireless keyboard / mouse on your computer, the menu lies within your operating system, not the keyboard device itself. By the way, it is under "Settings / Language & Input." Not many options in a mobile OS. None of my business, but if I were wanting to use a wireless keyboard / mouse on my Android, I would've gotten a bluetooth one. This unit would require you to plug in the usb dongle to your Android device and your Android device would in turn have to recognize it. If you're having trouble with it working, maybe your Android device can't recognize the dongle. By the way, the dongle is located in the battery compartment and is not bluetooth.

Hopefully your Bluetooth is working properly, I had some issues with it after updating to Windows 8.1 (driver needed updating). Click the Bluetooth icon on the task bar, select "Add a Bluetooth Device". You should now be at a "Manage Bluetooth Devices" Metro style screen. Ensure the keyboard is powered on and hit the "Connect" button next to the power switch on the keyboard. You should then see it as an option to pair with the tablet. Click on pair, then type in the numbers you see on the screen and press enter. Hopefully that is all you need, but if your Bluetooth is wonky, get the updated drivers from the Intel website.

Try restarting ur nook, power on and off the keyboard, it may take many attempts to get the initial sync setup.

If the "letter" keys aren't working, the device is possibly defective, however if you mean "top row" as in the Function (F1, F2, etc.) Keys, then you'll need to first press & hold the "Fn" key (lower left in K/B), then press the desired F# key (top row).

This is keyboard uses a blue tooth connection (wireless), so you don't need any connectors. I have a Nook HD+9 and it works great with mine! I have been very well pleased with my purchase.

Hey! So basically what you need to do is turn on your tablet and make sure the Bluetooth is on. Once it is on turn on your keyboard. Once the keyboard is on and the Bluetooth is on in your tablet press the circle butting at the top of the keyboard it should be in the middle of the top of the keyboard. Once you press that it should pop up as something you can pair with your device click pair with device on your tablets screen it will say press a certain number combo on it and then it will work! If your keyboard still isn't working try charging it and then do everything I just said! Hope this helps Hey!

Ok, I returned this product but I will try to help you to the best of my ability. 1. Make sure your phones bluetooth is set to on and discoverable. 2. Turn the keyboard on, there should be a key or a button on the bottom/side either on the keyboard or next to the charger port and press it so that the keyboard is in sync mode. 3. The keyboard bluetooth should pop up on your phones screen and then you follow the process. It should prompt for a security code which I believe is factory set to 0000. This is a standard bluetooth set up for most devices. Hope this helps. Let me know how you make out.

If it is new, I would send it back! Barnes and Noble has stopped selling the Nook Tablet, they're only selling the HD and HD+. So I would return your tablet and invest in an HD.

There are instructions in the box (4 steps). It's on the sheet that has "Bluetooth Keyboard Cover" on the front. If you don't see it, let me know and I can transcribe it or scan it into PDF and email to you. I started typing it but some of the details have pictures associated with it so it's probably easier to scan and email.
