Seeking Assistance for the Logitech K380 Bluetooth Keyboard

Thanks everyone for the information. Just to clarify, I was definitely mistaken about the power switch, but in my defence, when I originally got the keyboard, the power switch was already in the ON position, so I thought that there is no way I would have gotten a keyboard that was already powered on, so I thought that that when the switch was away from me, that was the OFF position. When trying to figure out the three device buttons, all of the YouTube videos I listened to were not very clear, as most of them either said to press one of the Easy Switch buttons, or press number 1, 2 or 3 buttons, and one YouTuber even said to press the yellow buttons.

Now I cannot fault them as I am sure these videos were mainly meant for sighted people, but I was kind of hoping that maybe one of them might even give a little hint as to which buttons were used.

That is why I thought of posting something on AppleVis instead.

So far, managed to get my iPhone paired to it, and will try and get my Mac and Apple TV paired this week.

So far, I am definitely liking it, although I am having difficulties remembering where to find the apostrophe so I can type contractions. I did find the key combination to switch between the English and French keyboard layout, but when I switch to French, VoiceOver changes the voice to French, which I would much rather prefer keeping in English.

On my Windows machine at work, although I have an English keyboard, I set my keyboard layout to French Canadian so I can easily access the various French punctuation's.

I will just have to take some time and play around with the different keys. I do believe that you can turn on the keyboard help and try pressing various keystrokes to see what each of them does. I did go into the Accessibility settings, under VoiceOver and Commands to check out the various keyboard shortcuts, but none of them seem to work.

Anyways, the joys of learning a new toy. Thanks again for everyone's feedback, it is greatly appreciated.

Alright, so I managed to pair the keyboard with my Mac and will pair it with my Apple TV sometime today, but after finding a list of keyboard shortcuts for iOS, more specifically the one for toggling the screen curtain, I'm left scratching my head a little.

So looking at the keyboard, the top most row from left to right, I thought the first button was the Escape key, followed by the F1, F2, F3 and so on until you get to the F12, leaving two buttons to the most right, with the last key assuming it is the Delete key (not to be confused with the Backspace).

After trying out the keyboard shortcut for toggling the screen curtain (VO+F11), I realized that, what I thought was the F12 key, actually is the F11 key. So if that is the case, the key I thought was the F1, the key to the right of the Escape key, might not be the F1 key. Because if you assume the F1 key is to the right of the Escape key and count from F1 to F12, the F12 key is the third key from the right, but when you toggle the screen curtain, the F12 is actually F11, making me extremely confused. Because if the second key from the right is actually the F12 key, if you count down from F12 to F1, then the F1 key is the third key from the left, two keys right of the Escape key.

I know, I might be making something out of nothing, but I'm one of those that likes to have some idea of which key is where on my keyboard, so I have a visual idea. And for those wondering, I lost my eyesight after having vision until I was 16 and low-vision (tunnel vision) until about 9 years ago. So although I may currently be completely blind now, I did have usable vision for most of my life, so I still tend to think, at times in a visual manner.

Does anyone know exactly, from left to right, what the keys are on the top row?

Thanks!

I had already tried turning Keyboard Help on to see if I can make sense of that top row, and when I press the second key from the right, the one to the left of the Delete key, VoiceOver says its the F12. If I continue pressing F11 downwards, VO reads out F11, F10, then doesn't read out F9, then it reads F8, then doesn't read F7, then pressing F6 is read as Home and Keyboard Help stops and I'm returned to the Home screen. Then pressing F5 reads nothing, then F4 is read as "Up Arrow, Move to First Item", then F3 is read as Home and, the same as F6, brings me to the Home screen and stops Keyboard Help. Then pressing on the F2 and F1 doesn't read anything.

I've even deleted all of my keyboards, added the English US keyboard and turned on Keyboard Help again, and all of the F keys are read exactly the same as before.

So I'm stumped as to why the keyboard is confusing the F keys this way.

Thanks Frankd, I gave it a try and sure enough, while in Keyboard Help, VoiceOver does indeed read out the function keys when holding down the FN key. I kind of feel stupid not having thought of that before. It's been such a long time since I had a keyboard paired to my iPhone, that I kind of forgot a lot of shortcuts, so it's been a little bit of a learning curve trying to get myself familiarized with one again.

One small other simple question, those additional controls, like F12 for increasing the volume and F11 for decreasing the volume, and F10 for muting the sound, what are the other controls again? I know that there are controls for playing/pausing, skip ahead and skip backwards.

I've searched online and, either there is nothing online, or I am not using the proper words to search.

Thanks!
