Logitech K850 keyboard compatible with iPhone 12 Pro?

I have a Logitech K850 wireless keyboard that worked with my old iPhone 8. I recently upgraded to a iPhone 12 Pro. I can successfully pair the keyboard and my new phone, but the connection is dropped almost immediately and I am not able to type anything on the keyboard and have it appear on the phone. This is my primary keyboard for my PC and is less than 3 months old so it would be nice if I could get this to work like it did on my old phone.

Ok, that doesn't really help me because I have a Bluetooth connection defined between the keyboard and phone but the keyboard makes no input on the phone at all. This worked on my iPhone 8. This connection quickly times out.

There are three keys 1, 2 & 3.

Have you selected the right key? I have Logitech K480 with three keys 1 is assigned to my Mac, 2 to my iPad and third to iPhone.

Switch the key and it inputs to the device.

I've noticed something interesting. When the keyboard is attached to my phone via bluetooth, the Apple keyboard does not show up on the screen. If I type on the Logitech keyboard I get nothing but I can only get the Apple onscreen keyboard back if I disconnect the bluetooth or if the connection drops.
