Just received my Preonic and it feels great! I can’t figure out how to connect Bluetooth – hitting or holding Fun + 5 (what looks like a Bluetooth search icon on the keymap) doesn’t seem to do anything. Fun + 1-4 does appear to change the “channel” but since nothing is paired it doesn’t help me yet. Thanks!

Whaaat? You have one? I am a Kickstarter and I don’t even have a tracking number!

How is it outside of the bluetooth issue lol?

Ha it just arrived yesterday, I live just across the SF Bay from them! It feels really good, sturdy but lightweight. Excited for you to get yours!

Not sure if you got it working but I toggled the switch next to the plug to show gray (away from the plug) and then tried Fun + 1 and it showed up in my Bluetooth search.

I did, actually the guide at [The Keyboardio Preonic](https://shop.keyboard.io/pages/preonic-help) helped me figure it out. Thanks!
