iPad Pro Magic Keyboard trackpad suddenly stopped working.

The magic keyboard does not work through bluetooth. Mine stopped having the issue with the recent update (perhaps a week and half ago?).

My apple magic keyboard trackpad pointer suddenly stopped working.

I had the same problem with my Ipad Pro, all I did was reset my ipad and the mouse started working again

Wow I am shocked – this worked for me too. Seems like such a random way to reset but so glad you posted on here, thanks so much!!

iOS 14.3 fixes the delete key issue in Mail!

Wahoo!!!

However 14.3 does not permanently fix the trackpad problem... for those that have it.

How long should I have the iPad and charger removed for? Ive tried this a few times for around 3 minutes and it hasn’t worked yet.

I got an account for this website just so I can comment on how useful this answer was. Thank you!

Thank you! By using your “disconnect

the USB-C cable from the Magic Keyboard and replug it in“ solved my problem.

Nice suggestion. That worked for me.

The workaround always works for me, but the trackpad problem always happens again for me within 1 or 2 days requiring the workaround again.

Right out of the box the trackpad isn’t responding ... I let it sit for a couple of months before I even got to use it. Another piece of Apple product I’ve wasted my money on.

I had this problem too just now. There’s something wrong with the Magic Keyboard as I too lost trackpad operation with the power plugged into the keyboard instead of my 2018 11” iPad Pro. Sounds like a common problem.

I never had this problem with my first Magic Keyboard which is still working without incident.

The newer one I got this month (November 2020) has happened 3 times already.

The reset worked, and it might be related to plugging the USB-C to the charge connector in the hinge instead of the iPad itself, or it might be a quality control issue with more recently manufactured units.

It’s annoying but at least the fix works. Hope a software remedy is successful.
