Some keys on Logitech slim combo keyboard for ipad pro not working

Same issue trying to type with intermittent Logi portfolio keyboard is impossible. Missing ‘esc a,q,1 and space bar keys is a real iOS /Bluetooth upgrade issue. Tried all the keyboard setting fixes mentioned in this thread. Still no solution.

Had a similar problem on laptop with Windows 10 upgrades, but problem went away after successive versions upgrades.

Triedwwwmzzzzndseedoesntworkmeether! As you can clearly see with my first attempt in the first sentence it clearly doesn’t work for me ether! Had to switch to the Apple key board of reliable writing.

LOGICTECH sells a faulty product; they need to do more R&D before launching an unreliable product. Not ever buying their brand again. This is an outrage!

this isn't a software issue relating to the ipad or iOS.

You'll notice here, even without the ipad, that the buttons don't trigger the keys to light up:

feels like a logitech issue here. I don't know how to reset the keyboard -- has anyone done this? The top-leftmost button also doesn't work is that the home button?

For the past several weeks, I’ve had to change keyboard settings daily, sometimes more than once a day. Once I reset the settings. All was good till the next day. I’m assuming that iOS 14.4 is the problem.

Does anyone have more suggestions for a permanent fix?

I can second this. Apprehensive at first, I just tried this in frustration. Smacking worked. I’m typing this reply on the keyboard.

My theory is that there could be a build up or some external particle may be lodged in the wrong place. So happy this is working fine. After months of cursing the quality, it’s ok now. Only hope...it continues to work.

Thanks for suggesting world’s oldest solution for making electronics work :D !

same for me, this worked for a few minutes but now certain keys stopped working. Specifically: international (emoji) key, along with SPACE, A, C, F, 1, 5, 8, 9 do not work for me. Very frustrating. Logitech and Apple please fix this.

Now that I think about it, nothing I did yesterday convinced the recalcitrant keys to work until the Factory Reset despite continuously using the iPad for while. I was forced to use the screen keyboard.

So that theory is out.

I’d really prefer not having to rely on doing a Factory Reset every time the keyboard and iPad refuse to get along.

Which keys exactly do not work for you?

Are you able to try a different keyboard (doesn't have to be from Apple)

1, 0 (zero), -, e, j

First thing this morning, when I first started working on the ipad and keyboard, these did not work. But then they started working several minutes later. But, a bit more slowly than the other keys. After an hour or so, all keys work immediately and I don’t need to slow down my typing.

I’m using the Logitech keyboard with a Smart Connector. My husband has a bluetooth keyboard (if he can remember where he put it) I was going to use to try to toubleshoot.

I’d also considered dropping by Best Buy or even an Apple store to see if the Apple Smart Folio would work better. But it’s generally not a problem later in the day, so I’d probably have to buy the items and then try them first thing in the morning.

My ipad pro is 12.9 , Model # A-1584. Generation 1

I love this baby! It does everything I need it to and more.

Except cooperate with the keyboard. Other ipad users have similar problems, so I know I’m not alone.

That would be very helpful. It's very hard to imagine any kind of iPad/iOS issue that would cause the problem with the specific keys you mentioned.

I finally bought a bluetooth keyboard. Why spend $$ on something with such a short lifespan?

My Apple folio keyboard lasted less than 3 years. My Logitech just over 1 year. Smart connector is a great idea, but the keyboards are not durable!

I’ve tried this and everything, still can’t get it to work. Disconnecting and connecting again is hopeless since some of the number keys don’t work even when trying to connect. Does anyone know how else this could be fixed, or should I just get a new keyboard😞

Unfortunately still doesn't work. I disconnected the keyboard and once I did that I couldn’t change the settings

from ’automatic’ to something else since the external keyboard option doesn’t show up anymore after disconnecting. Tried to connect the keyboard again but still some numbers just don’t function. It seems no matter what I do this problem can’t be fixed so might as well get a new keyboard :”D
