## Questions & Answers

**Q: How do I change the batteries?**
A: Your Microsoft Designer Compact Keyboard uses four coin-cell (C2032) batteries. Here's how to put the batteries in your keyboard: 

Turn your keyboard over and insert a pin into the small hole.

Keep holding the pin and slide the battery door away from the keyboard.

Place your batteries into the available slots. Make sure the positive end is facing up.

Slide the battery door back into position.

**Q: Can you easily reconfigure the emoji key to function as a normal control key?**
A: Yes, nearly all keys on Microsoft Designer Compact Keyboard are mappable, and can be updated to suit your needs!

**Q: Can you use this keyboard to configure bios and install os, i.e. before win/macos full install with bluetooth is up and running?**
A: No, there is no wired connection option, Bluetooth only. Unless your motherboard has Bluetooth enabled, connected, and configured during bios (BASIC input output system), you can’t use it. I’ve tried.

**Q: Is this keyboard metal like the apple magic keyboard?  or is it plastic?  what is the feel like?**
A: Feels like aluminum body with soft rubber keys. You can feel the key presses with a slight audible click.
