I understand that, but it can work unproperly not depending on the connection type.
So do you have another keyboard to try it with?
Customer Reply

First, please disconnect the wireless one and then connect the other one.

You can simply turn the Bluetooth off on your computer.
When you turn it off, the wireless keyboard will be disconnected.
If you disconnect your keyboard and cannot do anything with the other one, go to Start > Settings > Special functions > Scroll down > Keyboard > Use Virtual keyboard.
If you still cannot type, turn on your Bluetooth back, connect, and use the Wireless keyboard, please.
