iPad Pro 2020 (11”) Magic Keyboard intermittently unresponsive issues
Hi. I have the 2020 iPad Pro running iOS 13.5.1 with the Magic Keyboard.
Every few weeks I find that the keyboard stops responding. I can still use the trackpad, see the pointer, perform gestures, but typing doesn’t work in any built-in or 3rd party apps (despite seeing the cursor and the typing bar). Interestingly, I can still type in the Spotlight Search bar, but not anywhere else, signalling that this is a software issue, as key presses are still being recognised outside of apps.
Removing the iPad from the keyboard and reattaching does not resolve the problem, and neither does force-quitting affected apps. A long-press using the trackpad on the down arrow to the far right of the typing bar does not summon the on screen keyboard, so this feels like a software bug. Only a restart resolves the issue, until the next time it happens, which seems to be at random and not reproducible.
Has anyone else experienced this problem?
Did you find a cause, or a way to fix it that doesn’t need you to restart?
Thanks for your help!
