It's more like the keyboard that appears onscreen when you don't have a keyboard connected. Those don't have ctrl keys either. I sent mine back because of how challenging it was for me to press the keys. I have a Samsung tablet and it came with a bluetooth keyboard that does have those keys, if that's an option for you. I had ordered this one because of the case...

I don't know about the functions keys I just use it to type e-mails and such. I don't think its supposed to function like a lap top. I am not sure what your needing it to do.

I have tried to make keyboards work with this device, but see no way to do so. There is no bluetooth, and the tiny micro usb port would be cumbersome at best.

This keyboard has a connector you plug into your USB port. It is not bluetooth. Has good response and feel to it. IMO: If you have the extra USB port to spare its worth it versus the more expensive bluetooth models

nope, keyboard is not bluetooth compatible, that is probably why most key combinations do not work

If I recall correctly it is to help connect the keyboard to the Bluetooth. So 1st time connecting I had to hold the round button down and a code came up that I typed in to connect the wireless keyboard.

It's a standard USB keyboard, worked fine with my desktop & laptop.Whatever you connect it to, consider the possibility of a kid pulling it away across the room - a laptop is lighter and easier to pull off the table this way. (Taping some of the cord to the table might help. Also, taping the keyboard's end of cord to back of the keyboard will protect the connection there.)

Just as having a wireless keyboard / mouse on your computer, the menu lies within your operating system, not the keyboard device itself. By the way, it is under "Settings / Language & Input." Not many options in a mobile OS. None of my business, but if I were wanting to use a wireless keyboard / mouse on my Android, I would've gotten a bluetooth one. This unit would require you to plug in the usb dongle to your Android device and your Android device would in turn have to recognize it. If you're having trouble with it working, maybe your Android device can't recognize the dongle. By the way, the dongle is located in the battery compartment and is not bluetooth.

I'm not sure, it seems like a standard keyboard to me so I didn't really worry about thatI think it comes with instructions, if I'm not mistaken. If not you can always google the item and find instructions easily that way

The key board can b snapped in place to be used like a laptop or to transport or any other reason you care to use it that way its up to you; Mine is attached all the time; There's are problems with the connection, It doesn't always recognize when keyboard is connected and won't. Type and at times won't type what's imputed from keyboard I don't recommend this product.

To be honest I use the keyboard as part of my band. I have never use it for what you are inquiring about. Cannot give any advice.

I sent mine back and went to a wired solution for the keyboard. There were too many issues with it to be counted. The biggest is that it has a small footprint and I have large hands. The other reasons were lag times. I know that wired is old school for my desktop this was the best solution. My laptop I use its kb. I hope this helps.

Pairing is not the problem. I was able to figure it out. There are keys on the keyboard that I have no idea what the functions are. I called "Help" and they couldn't answer questions. I also emailed the company and they did not respond.

Directly you cannot plug a MIDI keyboard to this. This is purely audio interface without direct MIDI In/Out. You can use it with DAW. NOw if you want to use MIDI Key board then if your keyboard has USB MIDI I/O you have to connect it to your laptop/desktop. Your MIDI will be available in DAW or other MIDI enabled program. If your keyboard has only 5-pin MIDI IN/OUT then you have to get a USB-MIDI interface or a MIDI/IO Card for desktop. If you want more clarification please reply. Thanks.

The device may need enabling in terms of being able to be found by the keyboard, as bluetooth devices are usually unfindable in bluetooth settings for security. If that isn't the problem, I don't know a solution. I returned this keyboard, but pairing worked for me, I just wanted something bigger.

I've connected it to other devices, though this keyboard has iDevice specific function keys. Many work, some do not. As far as the basic keyboard, though, you should be good to go there.

I have a Win 7 laptop, and it does not support direct Bluetooth connection, so I must use a Bluetooth adapter. I ordered a Kinivo USB Bluetooth adapter with the headset. My wife has a Win 8 laptop, and it also does not support direct Bluetooth connection, so the adapter is needed for her laptop also. The pairing procedure may differ for various devices, but basically you'll need to press and hold the power button for a few seconds after you hear "power on" over the headphones. You should hear "pairing", and you'll need to select the device in your Bluetooth section on the laptop. It should be listed as "AF52".
