When you say "discover it" you mean set up the keyboard as a new keyboard, correct? Also, the keyboard IS switched on, and have you tried tapping a few keys when setting up to see if that gets the computer to realize that something is transmitting? Sometimes putting it next to the computer and turning it on isn't enough.

Edit: I have found that switching on computer, THEN devices may help make the computer realize a connection is there quicker.
 
ok, still nothing, i even tried replacing the batteries and everything.
