How to Pair to a new Nano Receiver

Your keyboard is ALREADY paired to the receiver it came with, so you can skip this step, unless there are special circumstances — for example, pairing to a new replacement receiver.
You can pair any number of Matias mice or keyboards to the same Nano Receiver. This is especially convenient for laptop users. For example, if you have a keyboard / mouse setup at home, and another at the office, you can plug one Nano Receiver into your laptop and pair all the devices to that one receiver. Paired devices will automatically connect when they are in range.

  1. Unplug any receivers that may be in range of the keyboard.
  2. Hold down the Return key THEN press the POWER button UNTIL the Caps Lock light starts flashing Blue.
  3. Plug the Nano Reciver into your computer.
  4. When the indicator light stops flashing, pairing is complete.

If you’ve lost your Nano Receiver…

We have replacement receivers available.
