Question How do you setup a x51v and Dell executive keyboard

I'm having trouble configuring my Dell executive bluetooth keyboard with my Dell x51v. If anyone could give me step by step instructions on how to configure my Keyboard it would help me a lot. Thank you in advance. Axim 1

Here's a link to the manual, contains step-by-step instructions. You'll need the driver too, which you can download from the Dell support site if you don't have it.

Hey Axim 1

I also have an Axim X51v with a Dell executive bluetooth keyboard, I didn't download the drivers from Dell but instead from Thinkoutside Bluethooth Driver click here to download.

Works a charm also click here for the manual

Cheers

Jace

Hey PPCApache,

From memory I had tried that originally too, but found I had trouble with the auto reconnect working. I had to keep pairing it every time I wanted to use it, obviously quite a pain. I found with the provided Dell driver it worked as designed.

Have you had any problems with it automatically activating after it has been initially paired? Which BT stack are you running?

I have used the ThinkOutside & Dell versions of the BT keyboard with great success. Widcom stack & drivers from TO's site.

Currently MS BT Stack with Stowaway Driver works a charm with in seconds of tapping a key its paired to my Ax.

Thanks PPCApache.

I've got the Widcomm stack, and v4.3 of the Dell drivers/sw. KB is Dell branded model # XTBT01. My setup works perfectly for me, so I'm not going to mess with it. I was just curious since I'd had trouble getting things to play nicely in the past.

I got the keyboard working by installing the drivers onto the main memory of my device instead of my SD card. Thanks for all the help.

Isn't the Dell one simply a rebranded version of the ThinkOutside? That's what I think I remember reading in other threads last year when I was shopping.

Yes, it is a rebranded version. On the bottom of my dell keyboard, it says "Designed and manufactured for Dell by Think Outside, Inc."
