How to fix or reset Bluetooth for Keychron K1/K2/K4/K6/K8/etc

Bluetooth is tricky and sometimes the connection can be laggy or broken or something else can go wrong for some weird reason – it could be the motherboard’s fault or the cheap USB transmitter or software issue or other issues.

Here’s a simple flowchart to follow to reset your Keychron keyboard and fix other Bluetooth troubleshooting issues. Thanks to Tim Wolters in the Keychron Facebook Group for creating this.

IMPORTANT: A factory reset does NOT automatically trigger Bluetooth Discovery Mode; you need to do that manually. Therefore the full reset sequence is [FN+Z+J+4sec > FN+1+4sec].

  1. Hi! My K4 keyboard didn’t connect with my laptop and I tried a factory reset without results, but in this chance I used FN + 1 for 4 second after factory resnt and its works perfect!

    Thank you 🙂

  2. Disabling the automatic device power off because of power saving fixed the issue on K5 104 key.

    Here’s a handy article on how to: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/windows-client/networking/power-management-on-network-adapter#how-to-use-registry-editor-to-disable-network-adapter-power-management-on-a-single-computer

    In a nutshell you have two options:

    1.) Device Manager > Network Adapters > Select bluetooth adapter > properties > Power Management Tab. If you don’t have this because of the driver, do option

    2. below. 2.) Open registry editor (Windows Key+R, enter regedit) -> Open the following folder: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E972-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002bE10318}\ -> Keep checking the folders from 0001 until you see an option on the left side named “PnPCapabilities” (only your bluetooth network driver has this) -> Right click “PnPCapabilities”, click modify -> Enter “24” click ok -> File, exit After this your keyboard won’t be automaticall powering down time to time.

    Worked like a charm for me. (Apologies mods for the doublepost, formatting got screwed on the previous comment)
