Thinkpad T60p (Widcomm BT ) + Apple Wireless Keyboard
The joys of setting up new hardware... When I got my Dell E1705 it was a royal pain getting my bluetooth Apple Wireless Keyboard paired.
At the time I was unable to get the supplied Toshiba, or the alternate Widcomm drivers to work. By uninstalling all of them, and using the generic Microsoft drivers I was able to successfully pair.
This time around with my new T60p, I was hoping to retain the fresh Widcomm stack, as it includes support for EDR, stereo headphones, etc...
After much trial and error, I stumbled upon the following forum thread
The answer is towards the bottom, and I will copy it here in case the thread disappears.
1. Press Win Start button, choose Run and then type regedit and press enter to access windows registry editor.
2. Into the registry editor search for and select -> HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\\Widcomm\\BtConfig\\General
3. Set the key 'PinCodeWord' to a decimal value of 1111
4. Set the key 'UseFixedPin' to a decimal value of 1
5. Then attempt pairing. When you get to the greyed PIN screen type 1111 using OTHER keyboard THAN Apple Bluetooth keyboard.
6. Press the Return key on the Apple keyboard.
7. Enjoy your nice Keyboard.
