Well.. providing some additional information might be helpful (dmesg, lsusb..)...
... I don't know if this is present in fitpc2i but are you using the front left usb port for the dongle? If so, this port is USB2 only, some keyboards and mices don't work on this port. It might be a good idea to test differnet usb ports.
... this is a wirelress keyboard operating in 2.4GHz range used by wlan. It might help to deactivate wlan for testing purpose.
... being a wireless keyboard, there is most likely an option to use it in wired mode, too. If so, does this work?

Good idea.
Disabled wlan0 and the device paired after a couple of gos. (had to pull the connector out the usb port and plug it back in again)
Then able to re-enable wlan.
For reference I have it plugged into one of the USB ports on the back of the device.

I have been using this on my fit-pc2 for a while. Worked first time, running ubuntu 9.10. I even installed Ubuntu by using this keyboard.
