hi. i have this keyboard, but, never used it. however, saying that,
here is what you need to know.
1. the keyboard requires two triple a batteries.
2. after inserting the batteries, turn on the switch top bottom of the keyboard.
3. push the button (next to the power on/off switch) to pair to your
fire after doing step 4.
4. go into your fire bluetooth settings which are found by swiping
from the top of the home page with two fingers for quick settings.
swipe and double tap on settings. double tap on wireless and then on
bluetooth. swipe for info. you will need to add the pin number given
when you first pair the keyboard to your fire.
5. note that you can (and, need to if not sighted) connect the fire
also with a usb keyboard with dongle cable unless you are comfortable
with the virtual keyboard to insert the pin number.
6. note your amazon basic bluetooth keyboard does not have the need
for a cable nor is there any way to connect one.
thanks to my wife for pointing out what i thought was correct but told
me for sure!
stay well ... william

Hi. I have an amazon basics Bluetooth keyboard that is supposed to work with
the Kindle Fire. My question is how do I hook it up to the Kindle? I am
assuming that the otg cable that I received from Talkingmp3players works
with this device. I assume that the end of the cable with the spikes goes in
the Kindle but I can not figure where the other end goes. The Bluetooth
keyboard has a piece that will come off but I am not sure if the other end
of the cable goes there. Does the keyboard take batteries? There is a switch
on the back that will go up and down what is this button for? I am supposed
to have some sighted assistance later on today but if anyone on this list
has a Amazon basics Bluetooth keyboard that could help me out it would be
appreciated.
