Pair Telink Wireless Receiver

Problem

These damn Telink Wireless Receivers don't have pairing software, or any answers on how to pair them online. If you buy a keyboard and mouse, they'll come with two separate adapters, and now it's a pain to remember which one is which. Or worse, you're running low on USB ports and you just want one receiver for two products, like logitech.

However, all the answers are right in the poorly translated manual you got with your product.

Solution

1. Turn off the device
2. Unplug the receiver
3. Turn on the device
   • Double check the additional instructions (by model)
4. Plug in the receiver

The power LED is usually the pairing LED. When you turn the device on, it's in pairing mode. Insert the dongle at this time.

You can only pair one device per attempt. Repeat these steps for the other device.

My setup

• 248a:8327 Maxxter Telink Wireless Receiver
  • lsusb will only display "Maxxter Wireless Receiver"
  • Mouse settings in KDE will only display "Telink Wireless Receiver Mouse" and "... Consumer Control" separately
• Arteck 2.4G keyboard
• Arteck 2.4G mouse
