Smart Keyboard on my iPad Pro (2nd gen) is freezing up

After installing the new IOS 13.5, the Smart Keyboard on my iPad Pro (2nd gen) started intermittently freezing and not registering keystrokes. I have made sure it’s in Type position, I have clean the connectors, and I have restarted multiple times.

iPad Air, iOS 12

Smart Keyboard not connecting after update Hi, my Smart Keyboard stopped working on IPad Pro. It feels that it happened after recent update. Anyone had a similar problem or solution? I reset already and try to reconnect without success

Smart Keyboard is Non-Responsive I have an iPad Pro 12.9" that I bought in 2019, together with the Apple Smart Keyboard folio. Lately (and running always the latest iPadOS) when I have the keyboard open the keys are completely unresponsive--nothing I do will convey my keystrokes to the device. The only solution I have found that seems to work is to manually restart the device. Anyone know what I can do to fix this?

iPad Pro 12.9 (2nd Generation) Smart Keyboard not working in iPad OS14 or OS14.1 The keyboard connects, and worked as normal before upgrading to iPad OS14. Keys either don't work at tall, or move the cursor.. keyboard is now rendered unusable. I recall the same issues with OS13, that too took a number of bug releases, until that was fixed. iPad has been wiped, fresh install. No difference. 14.1 now installed. No difference. Apple...TEST your keyboards, as this a repeat.
