Haven't read through thoroughly but had this procedure saved.
If it's any help here it is:

Connect igo keyboard to N810
_____________________________

1. Open Control Panel on the N810

2. (Optional I think) Double click 'Bluetooth keyboard', select 'Generic 105-key PC' and OK

3. Back in Control Panel double click 'Bluetooth' under connectivity

4. Make sure 'Bluetooth on' and 'Visible' are checked

5. Click on Button 'Devices'

6. On the Igo keyboard hold down the left CNTRL KEY, the BLUE fn key and the GREEN fn key at the same time. (A GREEN LED above the T key will begin to flash).

7. Select the 'Think Outside Keyboard'

8. Select 'Edit'

9. Select 'Connect'

If it will not connect you need to reinitiate the pairing as follows:

1. Select the 'Think Outside Keyboard' and 'Delete' under Bluetooth devices. Confirm with 'OK'

2. On the Igo keyboard hold down the left CNTRL KEY, the BLUE fn key and the GREEN fn key

3. Select 'New' and the N810 will find the Think Outside Keyboard

4. Select 'OK' and note the four digit PASSCODE number. (Set as trusted should be checked)

5.Select 'OK'and immediately enter the PASSCODE number on the keyboard (hold BLUE Fn, enter number and press Enter)

The Keyboard will then be paired. Close Control panel.

dfinch:

So basically I have to "Re-Pair" every time I want to use this thing?

Oh-Boy...

Will keep looking for an answer or will have to just find a device that isn't so much trouble.

I did find that I needed to repair often unlike my phone and car audio which paires every time I get in the car. I ended up getting a mini USB keyboard which just plugs in with OTG plug.

It shouldn't be necessary to re-pair every time, but unfortunately I have no idea, the best I can offer is to look into that double-entry issue that nhanqay mentioned - it sounds like there might be something there. For me (with an iGo sierra and an N800) it "just works", and that's how it is meant to be.

I have a Think Outside keyboard. It's a pain to get paired. The instructions are accurate but I had to take the batteries out of the keyboard for a while (I think I left them out for a few hours) until it reset the previous pairing. Once paired, you only need to reconnect which is quick.

This is the only part I am having trouble with...

HOW, do it reconnect for you? It is not happening for me.

ACTUALLY:

I MAY HAVE JUST FIXED IT...

On initial testing, it seems to connect and disconnect properly now after I did several re-pairing processes.

The difference seems to be in unchecking "Trusted Device"!

I have left the BY on on the n810 and let it set for a couple minutes to see if it times out while the KB is folded up!

OK, still working!!!! WOOHOO!

yep...still working after most of the day disconnected...

went in andd openned it up and got the dialogue box asking if I wanted to connect.

So, it seems for me anyway that unchecking Trusted Device did the job.

thanks all!

Well, that's strange, as on my N800 it's definitely ticked. But I'm on OS2007, maybe it makes a difference. But it's great news that you got it working though.
