iPad Pro Freezing up with Magic Keyboard

I have had my iPad 11 pro for over a year. I recently bought a used magic keyboard. It worked great for 3-4 days. Now every time I attach it the iPad it freezes up and won’t respond to trackpad clicks. I can remove the keyboard and reattach it responds for a few seconds then freezes up again. What can I do to fix this?

Hello JHyatt12,


We’re glad you are posting in Apple Support Communities.


We’ll be happy to lend a hand with the Magic Keyboard and see what we can find out.


First, let us know if you have seen “If your Apple wireless mouse, keyboard, or trackpad isn't working with your Mac as expected”. It has a lot great suggestions to try.


Reach back out to us if you still are having trouble with the Magic Keyboard.


Cheers!

Hi JHyatt12,


Thanks for getting back to us and pointing that out. Our apologies. Have you checked for dust or debris that may be causing this behavior? Does the Magic Keyboard work if it stays plugged into the power charger? Is your iPad Pro operating system updated? If not, see Update your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch if needed.


You may also want to try the steps here: If you can't connect your iPad to your Magic Keyboard, Smart Keyboard, or Smart Keyboard Folio.


Reach back out to us if needed.


Take care!
