PLEASE READ!

FROM YOUR FRIENDS AT QWERKYTOYS!

• The USB Cable needs to be FIRMLY pushed in to make a solid connection�

• Avoid using USB hubs or adapters that aren’t a direct connection to your

computer or tablet! USB hubs that have power should be okay! Otherwise

bad things will happen like lag or repeated keystrokes (which is no good

since good writing is already hard!)�

• Our Qwerkywriter is a USB AND a Bluetooth capable device, unlike most

keyboards which are one or the other! So it can be a little complex so we

really recommend visiting this link for a quick refresher!

https://www.qwerkywriter.com/pages/new-user-setup-getting-started

• PLEASE contact support@qwerkytoys.com before you consider returning

your product� We have very smart and friendly folks who will respond

lightning quick! Thank you!

Please don’t forget to leave a review!

signature all metal macro programmable return

bar defaults to the “enter” key but you can

entirely out of a new scratch resistant aluminum

alloy for an incredible feel of quality

Bluetooth Device Selection

The Qwerkywriter®S can be paired to 3 devices but can only be connected and type

on one device at a time� Select the slot of the paired device you want to type on, then

press any key to connect�

• Slot 1

• Slot 2

• Slot 3

Once the slot is selected the LED:

Blink 3 times - stays on = connected to a device

Blink 3 times - turns off = no devices connected to this slot

* Bluetooth slots cannot be changed while in USB mode. If in USB mode, use gray

button to toggle to Bluetooth mode ﬁrst. Gray button will toggle between USB

mode and Bluetooth mode (last selected Bluetooth slot).

Using USB Mode

The included USB cable simultaneously provides

a wired connection and power� Simply plug

in the cable and conﬁrm you’re in USB mode

to instantly connect the Qwerkywriter®S to

your computer� Use the gray button to toggle

between USB mode and Bluetooth mode�

(Tip: Make sure the USB cable is plugged in all the way! It’s a very snug ﬁt so it

may need some gentle force. Once in, the red charging light will come on.)

While in USB mode the Qwerkywriter®S does not drain power from the battery�

Instead, it recharges the battery as indicated by the red LED� Once the cable has

charged the battery to 100% the red LED will turn OFF�

NKEY MODE

(optimal use in USB mode but supported in Bluetooth mode)

NKey mode will give the Qwerkywriter®S a faster response time when keys are typed�

• NKey mode ON

• NKey mode OFF

The N labeled LED, located in the upper right, will light up to indicate NKey mode is

ON� When NKey mode is ON, the battery will drain faster so charging may be needed

more frequently. However, this doesn’t apply if the charging cable is plugged in.
