ipad pro magic keyboard caps lock key

Hey,

I so I had this issue too but I found out how to fix it!

1. Go to your settings
2. Go to General
3. Find keyboard
4. Go to hardware keyboard
5. Then turn off the use caps lock to switch languages.

Hope this was helpful!!

I have the same issue with the Magic keyboard for Ipad 11-2020 . I have tried different ways but the capslock does not work and I can not type in capital. there is no available online instruction to how fix it. Please can Apple staff tell it is faulty one?

what does the Caps Lock key have to do with keyboards?

There is a setting which lets you use Caps Lock to switch keyboards if you want, some people prefer that to the usual Control plus Space

I am not sure if this a bug or not but I hope someone from apple reads this and maybe can explain what is going on.

I thought your problem was solved by removing a 3rd party keyboard? If so, the people who made it may need to update it so it doesn't mess up caps lock.

Apple is not reading here, but you can report possible bugs at

You shouldn’t need to go to hardware keyboard

There are two different versions of this problem.

1) When the user has added certain keyboards supplied by Apple, like Chinese or Japanese, there will be a setting in Hardware Keyboards that may need to be turned off for Caps Lock to work normally. All explained in Apple docs.

2) Certain 3rd party keyboard apps mess up the Caps Lock function for some reason. In this case there will normally not be any setting available in Hardware Keyboard to change, and the only fix is to get rid of the 3rd party keyboard. This is a bug somewhere in the app or in iOS.

I had the similar problem In my old magic keyboard and Resolved in the following manner :

1. Settings>Keyboard. Removed all languages
2. There I disabled the Enable Caps Lock as below . After this the Caps Lock button started working

i checked several times. i added Chinese keyboard. The caps lock setting button isn't there.

Something wrong if you don't see it as below when you have Chinese, Russian, Japanese, or Greek keyboard on the list in addition to English and the keyboard is connected.

Hi,

I have solved this problem. You need to turn off the function “switch language using caps lock”, then the caps lock will work as usual. Settings >> General >> Keyboard >> Hardware keyboard >> switch language using caps lock (Turn off this function)

Do you have the caps lock switching item in settings > general > keyboard > hardware keyboard turned OFF, as shown below? If it is turned ON, then caps lock should switch between English and Japanese.

Tapping on it twice doesn’t work for me :(

I’ve check the settings and the caps lock key is supposed to have the caps lock behavior, but it doesn’t :(

I do have multiple keyboards installed, but I dont want to remove them :(

Stack and Stylus from MyScript that are super handy to write with the Pencil. Once I deleted them the caps lock worked... Shame

You should tell the people who make those apps to update them so they do not interfere with caps lock. They are the ones who have to fix this.

I had the same problem on both of my iPad pros new magic keyboards. I worked with Apple, which could not find a fix. The issue was escalated, but while waiting for them to look into it, I fixed the problem - at least for now. I uninstalled all three of my 3rd party keyboards and then reinstalled them one at a time to see if one or all caused the issue. After reinstalling all three, so far, so good. All fixed.

I have sent in a video of the issue to Apple Support via a Senior Adviser. It’s a bug I think. There is already a globe button At the bottom left which allows us to switch between the diff language keyboards. The capslock shouldnt work this way.

when I received the magic keyboard initially, there wasn’t this issue either.

will await for them to rectify on this.

Regardless of the "globe" button, which not all keyboards have, Apple always provides a setting to you to use capslock to change between certain language keyboards if you want to do that, in both MacOS and iOS. But it is definitely a bug somewhere for this to happen without this setting having been chosen.

But for the iPad Pro, the capslock setting option isn’t available when connected to the magic keyboard folio.

It will be there if you have a non latin keyboard on your list (Russian, Chinese, Japanese, Arabic, Hebrew, Thai, Hindi, etc)
