connecting a bluetooth keyboard to my ipad

Bought a cheap bluetooth keyboard for my iPad. It doesn't show up in the bluetooth list even though the light is flashing. Is there a pairing step I'm getting wrong?

Put the keyboard in pairing mode first, that's the step people skip. Most have a bluetooth or connect button you hold until a light starts blinking. Then iPad Settings > Bluetooth, and it shows under Other Devices. Tap it. Some keyboards ask you to type a code on them and press enter. Is it a keyboard you used with something else before? It'll keep jumping back to that device, so turn bluetooth off on the old one while you pair.
