How to view battery percentage on Magic Keyboard for the iPad Pro

How can you find out the battery percentage on the new Magic Keyboard for the iPad Pro (2018 and 2020)? It doesn’t show up in the Batteries widget and I can’t find where I can display it in the Settings. I just would like to know how often to charge it :(

iPad Pro, iPadOS 13

Question marked as Best answer

The new Magic Keyboard for iPad Pro is powered directly by the iPad whist docked. The Keyboard has no battery to charge.


The USB-C connector on the spine of the keyboard simply provides a pass-through power connection for the iPad. When the Power Adapter is connected to the Keyboard, power is supplied directly to the iPad whilst docked. Nothing more, nothing less.


I hope this explanation and clarification is helpful.
