The device e.g. computer keyboard device (300), has a communication module coupled to a housing i.e. keyboard housing (310), and operable to discover computing devices that are capable of establishing a connection over a wireless connection and to maintain one or multiple established connections with one or multiple computing devices. Input elements (330) are located on the housing and comprise host connection keys (340), which cause the communication module to discover the computing devices that are accessible over the wireless connection. A light-emitting element is connected with each key. The input elements are designed as alphanumeric keys. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) a method for establishing a wireless communication with a data input device (2) a non-volatile, machine-readable storage medium comprising a set of instructions to execute a method for establishing a wireless communication with a data input device.
