Magic keyboard wakeup issue

Having an issue with the Magic Keyboard “waking up” after my iPad Pro has sleeping for a while. The keyboard remains asleep for a while (sometimes 30-60 seconds or longer) regardless how many keystrokes I try to get it awake. I already got a replacement keyboard (which had the same problem, but worse) and while it seems to have this problem less often, it still periodically has trouble connecting properly. Can someone suggest a fix for this?

iPad Pro, iPadOS 14

Hey there JerryBDaMan,


Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities. We understand you’re having some issues with waking your Magic Keyboard. We’ll be happy to help with this.


When you wake your iPad, do you do so using the Magic Keyboard? If not, try that and see if that helps. You can find out to do this under “Wake your iPad with your Magic Keyboard” from this article:


Set up and use Magic Keyboard for iPad


Also, make sure your iPad Pro is up to date:


Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch


We hope this helps.


Take care.
