How to install a Rocketfish Bluetooth keyboard in Windows 7

I’m posting this here because every time I re-install my OS I forget how to do it. I originally found this in a comment by KAMOTEQ here.

  • Problem: Rocketfish (Best Buy) Bluetooth keyboard, model RF-BTKB2, doesn’t work in Windows 7. When you try to pair it, nothing happens and eventually it times out or tells you “Device driver software was not successfully installed.”
  • Solution:
    1. Go to “Add a device”
    2. Right-click on “Rocketfish Bluetooth Keyboard” and choose “Properties…”
    3. Check the box that says “Drivers for keyboard, mice, etc. (HID).”
    4. Click OK and your keyboard will be recognized.
