    Hi all,
    I have a BB Mini Bluetooth keyboard for my Playbook.
    I am unable to connect it to my Z10,

    1. On the Z10, I make it discoverable on the Bluetooth screen
    2. I turn on the BB Mini Bluetooth keyboard
    3. The light shows green then a flashing blue and then nothing
    4. On the Z10, the keyboard does not appear.
    5. I repeated with the Z10 Discoverable for 2 minutes
    6.I pressed the refresh on the Z10. Nada
    Sigh....
    I was able to successfully pair the Z10 to the Playbook and mu new car.
    I was able to pair the keyboard to the PB.

    Double sigh...
    Any and all assistance would be appreciated.
    Cheers
    Larry

    I don't recall the method, but in order to pair to a second device you have to press certain keys or a sequence.

    Here's some of the manual. Also, make sure that you DISconnect the PB in case it is "holding" on to the keyboard.

    Q: Can I use my BlackBerry Mini Keyboard with more than one BlackBerry PlayBook tablet?
    A: Yes, you can pair and use the BlackBerry Mini Keyboard with more than one tablet by completing the
    following steps.
    Press and hold the CTRL key while turning on your BlackBerry 1. Mini Keyboard.
    2. Release the CTRL key when the LED flashes blue/red.
    Complete the Bluetooth pairing process on your device, using the BlackBerry Mini Keyboard to type in
    the pairing passkey provided by your tablet followed by pressing the Enter key on the Mini Keyboard.
    3.
    &ote: The BlackBerry Mini Keyboard can be paired with three tablets at the same time. In the event you need
    to pair the Mini Keyboard with additional tablets, clear the pairing list on the Mini Keyboard first using the
    following steps.
    1. On the BlackBerry Mini Keyboard, holding the CTRL key and the Backspace key for 6 seconds.
    2. Turn the Mini Keyboard off, and back on again.
    3. Pair the Mini Keyboard with the desired tablet(s).
    Q: I can’t pair my BlackBerry Mini Keyboard.
    A: In the event you can’t pair with your Blackberry Mini Keyboard, try the following steps:
    On your BlackBerry PlayBook tablet, check that the Bluetooth connection is turned on.
    Check that the LED notification light on your BlackBerry Mini Keyboard is flashing blue and red when
    you are pairing with the BlackBerry PlayBook tablet. If it isn’t, press and hold the Ctrl key while turning
    on the BlackBerry Mini Keyboard.
    If you previously paired your BlackBerry Mini Keyboard with your BlackBerry PlayBook tablet, try the
    following actions:
    1. On the BlackBerry PlayBook tablet, delete the BlackBerry Mini Keyboard from the pairing list.
    On the BlackBerry Mini Keyboard, clear the pairing list by pressing and holding the Ctrl key and the
    Backspace key for 6 seconds. Turn the On/Off switch off and on.
    2.
    3. Pair the BlackBerry Mini Keyboard again.
