How to switch between wired, RF, and Bluetooth

The Defy and the Raise 2 have two different wireless connection options and can also be used in wired mode; let's explore how to set each.

Wired

1. Connect the neuron to the computer.
2. Connect the halves to the neuron using the short cables provided alongside the keyboard.
3. Make sure the cables are completely inserted in the neuron. Otherwise, the keyboard might resort to wireless communications.

When using a wireless keyboard wired, ensure the toggle switch on the back of each side of the keyboard is turned off. This ensures that the keyboard prioritizes the wired connection.

Important: Never connect the sides of the keyboard directly to the computer. It won’t work and can damage the keyboard. 

Low-latency Radio Frequency (RF)

1. Connect the neuron to the computer.
2. Turn each side of the keyboard on by toggling the switches on the back.

Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE)

You can connect your Dygma keyboard to up to 5 devices via Bluetooth.

Here's the initial setup:

1. Plug the neuron into the slot at the back of the left half of the keyboard.
2. Turn each side of the keyboard on by toggling the switches on the back of the halves.
3. You'll see five blue lights in the number row. Each represents an available slot to connect a device, such as a computer, tablet or phone.
4. Choose a channel (e.g., 1) and select the keyboard in your computer's Bluetooth preferences. Then, enter the code displayed on the device you want to connect to.

The different colors of the keys in BT pairing mode represent different things:

• Blue is for available channels
• White is for assigned channels
• Green is for active channels
• You can reset a channel by holding the red key underneath

Press the BT Pairing key on your keyboard to access BT pairing mode and switch between different devices.

If you can't find it, use Bazecor to locate or assign it.

Once you have located the key:

1. Press the Bluetooth pairing key.
2. Wait for the keyboard to enter Bluetooth pairing mode. You'll know you're in this mode because the LEDs in keys 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 will shine green, white, or blue. Blue means an available channel, green represents the active Bluetooth channel, and white represents an assigned channel that's not active. 
3. Select the channel you want to connect to. If it's available, it will pulse blue. 
4. If you select an available channel, the key will start pulsing blue. Then, you can go to your computer and choose the keyboard from your Bluetooth menu. A 6-digit code will pop up on the screen; input that number on the keyboard. 
5. If you select an assigned channel, the keyboard will connect to the computer or device paired on that channel. 
6. To unpair an assigned channel, hold the red key under that number. You'll also need to click "Forget device" on your computer. 

If you have issues switching between devices or inputting the code, please ensure that your number row is configured with regular numbers, not Superkeys or number pad numbers. 

If you have issues with a particular connection, you can always reset all your Bluetooth pairings by reflashing the firmware in Bazecor. Then click on "Forget device" on your computer and re-pair again.

Bluetooth over wired

The Dygma wireless keyboard has a significant advantage: it allows you to connect both wired and Bluetooth devices simultaneously. This feature enables seamless switching between multiple devices, making it ideal for users who frequently need to toggle between different setups.

1. Connect the Keyboard in Wired Mode as normal. Ensure the toggle switch on the back of the keyboard is turned off. This ensures that the keyboard prioritizes the wired connection.
   
2. Enable Bluetooth Mode by pressing the pairing key on your keyboard. The keyboard will connect to your latest Bluetooth device or offer you the option to pair a new one if you have none paired. If you want to switch to another device or pair a new one, press the Bluetooth pairing key to access the Bluetooth pairing mode.
   
3. To switch back to wired mode, press the Bluetooth pairing key again, wait for the pairing mode to activate, and then press the top-left key on the left side of the keyboard (which is usually the ESC key).
