Abstract: A data input system comprises a wireless keyboard 1 and docking station 3 which can be connected to a computer system 5. When the keyboard 1 and docking station 3 are mechanically connected, the docking station 3 is configured automatically to generate a new pairing code or key that is different to a previously-generated one. This new code/key is then transmitted back to the keyboard 1 over a wireless control link and the keyboard and docking station 3 then set up a paired data channel over which data from the keyboard is transmitted wirelessly to the docking station, and so the computer system 5. When a new mechanical connection is made, e.g. using the same or a different keyboard, the process repeats so that a new pairing code or key is generated, thus avoiding interference with other keyboard(s) that were previously paired with the same docking station 3.
