Monka K-100 Bluetooth Keyboard Not Showing Up on MacBook Pro M4

I have a Monka K-100 mechanical keyboard which supports tri-mode connectivity (Bluetooth, wired, and 2.4G). I'm trying to connect it to my MacBook Pro M4 via Bluetooth, but it doesn't show up in the list of available Bluetooth devices.

Some additional context:

The keyboard is fully charged.
Bluetooth is working fine on my MacBook Pro — I can connect a Bluetooth mouse without issues.
I tested the same keyboard with my Mac Mini M4, and it connects via Bluetooth without any problems.
The keyboard also works perfectly with the MacBook Pro when connected via the Type-C wired mode.

I've tried restarting both the keyboard and the MacBook, and also toggled Bluetooth off and back on — still no luck.

Is there anything I might be missing? Any suggestions would be appreciated!

MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 15.4

Hi @leroydouglas, thanks for your suggestion!

Just to share — the Monka K-100 unfortunately doesn’t have a firmware update utility like some brands (e.g., Corsair). However, after getting some free time, I went through the keyboard's manual again and found a reset key combination. After performing the reset, the keyboard showed up in Bluetooth devices and connected successfully to my MacBook Pro!

In case it helps others: if you're facing a similar issue, checking your keyboard's manual for a reset method can be a simple fix. 😊

Thanks again for the help!

Did you look for a firmware update for your third party device...
