This happens on Windows, right? What would happen on Linux, would the keyboard still work as it gets connected?
Yes. They are using WebUSB. That's only supported on chrome browsers for now. But it also works on Linux. The home automation community makes great use of that api.
What keyboard is this? I certainly don't have to do any of this. I plug the keyboard in and I'm done. Why do you need to go to a web page?
Actually I'm just using Bluetooth to connect to it and I don't use any unified receiver stuff.
