Wireless keyboards are mainly divided into types that use their own USB encryption (adapter) and Bluetooth connections.

The type of USB encryption is considered a common "USB keyboard" in computers and game consoles. As a result, computers can be used before OS (Windows or macOS) is started. The "pairing" between the encryption dog and the keyboard body is basically done from the very beginning, so connect the USB encryption to the computer and game console, turn on the power of the keyboard and use it immediately.

On the other hand, the disadvantage of using a keyboard with USB encryption is that it consumes a USB terminal when connecting. If the wireless mouse uses the USB encryption device, the encryption dog alone will consume two USB terminals. However, in some cases, the wireless keyboard and wireless mouse of the same manufacturer can be connected together through a USB cipher, focusing on the supporting products.

(# 1) pairing is sometimes required when only the keyboard or USB cipher is replaced due to failure

On the other hand, the disadvantage of Bluetooth connected keyboards is that pairing must be performed at the beginning of use. If multiple pairing is not supported, it must be paired each time you connect to another device.
