Apple Magic Keyboard paired to Chromecast Google TV

Dey1 — Mon, 03 Jan 2022 19:22:16 GMT

Hello everyone...

First time here. I am having difficulty pairing my bluetooth 'Apple Magic Keyboard' to my 'Chromecast Google TV'. The Chromecast sees the keyboard and asks me to enter a passcode on the keyboard, but it fails to connect and this will not pair. I reset the keyboard and ensured that it was in pairing mode and tried several times, but without success.

Any help would greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance,

Dey1

Hey there Dey1,

I apologize about the late response on this, thank you for being patient! Were you able to fix that Bluetooth issue? If not, I'd be happy to help out, since troubleshooting 3rd-party devices can be tricky. Let me just ask you some questions about what's happening:

When did this issue start happening?
What is the firmware version of the Chromecast?
Are you able to connect the keyboard via USB?
What troubleshooting steps have you already tried?

I look forward to your response, and if you have any other questions or concerns for me, please let me know!

Best regards,
Jeran

Hello Jeran,

Thank you for responding to my inquiry.

The Firmware for the Chromecast is 1.56.276477

It's an Apple Wireless Keyboard (Third generation (A1314) MC184LL/A). There is no USB option, only bluetooth

I have never been able to get it to work. The keyboard works fine with an Apple computer or other non-Apple devices.

Any assistance you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Ian

Nope. I heard from Jaren above, I responded, and have received no further response or help.

I'm having exactly the same problem. Works pretty well in my android smartphone, but I can't make it work on my Chromecast

Problem occurs after upgrading from A10 to A12. There are more people affected by this issue (https://www.reddit.com/r/Chromecast/comments/yfmnvf/logitech_k380_not_pairing_with_gcwgtv/). Please make some fix, to resolve this issue.

Hey there everyone,

I apologize for the late response on this thread, thank you for being patient! Was anyone able to get their keyboards connected via Bluetooth? If not, disconnect the device, check for any Chromecast updates, restart the Chromecast, and attempt to connect the device again. If you are still unable to connect the device, please fill out this form to have someone from Chromecast Support reach out to you for further troubleshooting.

I look forward to your responses, and if anyone has any other questions or concerns for me, please let me know.

Best regards,
Jeran

I stil get no answer to my request. Can I monitor status of pending issue?

Re: Apple Magic Keyboard paired to Chromecast Google TV

Dey1 — Wed, 16 Nov 2022 21:44:43 GMT

I filled out the form as requested. That said, this issue has been outstanding since January without resolution. I hope that this issue gets resolved soon.

Hey there MichalBk,

Of course! I see there was a note put on the case a few days ago that they are looking into this issue, please let me know if you haven't heard back in a couple of days.

Best regards,

Hey there Dey1,

Thank you for filling that out! Chromecast Support should reach out to you via e-mail, so keep an eye out. It sounds like they are still looking into it after looking at MichalBk's case, so it may be a few days.

Best regards,

Jeran

I just purchased Chromecast 4k and it updated automatically to A12. I tried to pair with K480 but it does not register pair code. I searched web and found that this is sort of common issue people reported after updating to A12.
