Logitech G613 Bluetooth keyboard stops working after first connection on 2019 Macbook Pro
My G613 Logitech Keyboard connects to my MBP correctly at first. The MacBook ask for a pin code, the keyboard is working and it works without any problems.
As soon as I power off the keyboard just one time, or put the MacBook to sleep, the keyboard stops working. However, it still shows as connected in the Bluetooth device list.
Some informations :
- Keyboard works perfectly on another PC
- Macbook is on Catarina, last available update.
- Catarina is an update, not preinstalled
- Keyboard worked before, can't remember if on catalina or not
- Tried a SMC reset
- Tried reinit Bluetooth module (shit+option on Bluetooth icon > Debug)
I faced exact same problem. This worked for me :
press and hold the Bluetooth button in the g613 keyboard until it starts blinking faster.
On Mac, do the BlueTooth connection as explained by @Vadim Flaks, once connected you can remove the old G613 from your BlueTooth settings ( which is now disconnected )
I wish I knew of a way to make this problem go away completely, but the best I can give you is a workaround:
- in the Bluetooth menu hit the "X" button to remove G613 from the list of connected devices
- hit the connect to "Bluetooth" button on the keyboard again to make G613 discoverable.
- when the keyboard shows up in the bluetooth menu hit "Connect" and punch in the PIN as asked
- You're back in business until the next connection interrupt. Rinse and repeat.
This, along with the useless and annoying macro keys, really makes me wish I went with something else for my wireless keyboard.
