Quick answer
Plug the shared USB receiver into a free port, power on both devices, and wait a few seconds—the TK-KM014 combo should connect automatically. If it doesn't, reinsert the receiver or recharge the keyboard and mouse before trying again.
Why the shared receiver simplifies pairing
The TK-KM014 uses a single 2.4GHz USB receiver for both the keyboard and mouse, so you don't need to pair each device separately via Bluetooth. This means setup is essentially plug-and-play: the receiver acts as the bridge, and both devices are pre-paired at the factory. The main requirement is a free USB-A port and enough battery power in each device. If your laptop lacks a USB-A port, you'll need a USB-C hub or adapter—something to check before you start.
When to recharge instead of re-pair
The keyboard and mouse have built-in rechargeable batteries (500mAh and 400mAh respectively). If either device stops responding, low battery is a more likely cause than a lost pairing. Charge them fully before assuming a pairing fault. Also note that the receiver range is up to 49 feet (15 meters) in open space; walls and interference can reduce that, so keep the receiver and devices in the same room during setup.
TK-KM014 setup steps
- Charge both devices fully: Connect the keyboard and mouse to a USB power source using their charging cables and let them charge until full. This prevents mid-setup dropouts. A full charge before pairing avoids false troubleshooting.
- Insert the USB receiver: Plug the shared receiver into a free USB-A port on your computer. Avoid USB hubs or extension cables during initial setup, as they can weaken the signal. Use a direct port for the most reliable connection.
- Turn on the keyboard and mouse: Slide the power switches on both devices to the ON position. The keyboard and mouse should be pre-paired to the receiver from the factory. Check that both switches are clearly in the ON position—some have a middle OFF detent.
- Wait for automatic connection: Give the system 10–15 seconds to recognize both devices. The keyboard and mouse should start working without any driver installation. If nothing happens, try a different USB port before re-pairing.
- Test and adjust: Type in a text editor and move the mouse to confirm both work. If one device lags, move the receiver to a port on the same side as your devices or reduce distance. Lag usually points to interference or distance, not a pairing failure.
- Troubleshoot if needed: If a device still doesn't respond, unplug the receiver, wait 5 seconds, and plug it back in. Then power-cycle the device. If problems persist, recharge the device fully and repeat. A simple re-plug and power cycle resolves most connection issues.
