Android phones have come a long, long way, and the best thing is that you can use modern-day smartphones as full-fledged computers. This means that if you are looking to connect a Bluetooth keyboard to an Android device, then this is entirely possible. Not just that, most modern wireless keyboards work really well in terms of the overall experience, and there is almost next to no latency, at least as far as typing is concerned. I recently reviewed the NuPhy Air60 V2, and they sent me a folio as well. Using that made me realize how I can just convert any Android smartphone or tablet into a computer.
Connect Bluetooth keyboard to Android and work on the go
Now, if you want to connect a Bluetooth keyboard on Android, you are just going to need a wireless keyboard that supports Bluetooth and a compatible Android device. It is worth noting that the connection process might vary from keyboard to keyboard, but the pairing on all Android phones is more or less the same.
Without wasting more time, let's have a look at how you can connect a Bluetooth keyboard to Android in just a few simple steps.
Step 1: Put your keyboard into pairing mode. For the NuPhy, I used fn+Q, but the key combination on your keyboard might vary.
Step 2: Go to your phone's Settings and then to Bluetooth. The keyboard will appear there.
Step 3: Tap on the keyboard, and the pairing process will start. Once the pairing is complete, you will be able to use the keyboard on your Android device without any issues whatsoever.
Remember that because the connection is being run on Bluetooth, you might face some latency. If you are connecting a wireless Bluetooth keyboard to your Android device, I would highly suggest that you check the polling rate; the higher the polling rate, the smoother the experience and the lower the latency.
As mentioned before, you can use this guide to connect any Bluetooth keyboard to an Android device without any issues. Just be sure that the keyboard supports the connectivity that you are going for. Once connected, you can just open any app that supports keyboard input and type away without any hassle that might otherwise bother you.
About the author: I have been tinkering with Android devices ever since the early days of the HTC Desire. Over time, I have grown a fondness for the ecosystem and now I cannot live without it. Although some might believe that I have sold my soul to Android, but I believe it is not the case. You can find me writing tutorials and posting guides on a number of different smartphones. When I am not writing here, I am wasting myself away in books, journals, or on Steam.
