Why is my Magic keyboard buggy after iOS 15 upgrade?

After the upgrade to IOS 15 on my iPad 4 air, my Apple Magic Keyboard started acting buggy. The touch pad, space bar, and what I call the macro keys (control, option, and cmd keys) no longer work.

Based on what I read online, I have done the following:

removed the keyboard and cleaned the connectors with a dry lint cloth and re-attached the keyboard - it did not fix the issue
i rebooted my iPad and then connected the keyboard - it didn’t fix the issue

I have a Logitech folio touch keyboard is displaying the same issues.

is there anything else I can do? These devices worked until I upgraded to iOS 15.

any help is welcome

Thanks in Advance

iPad (4th gen) Wi-Fi + Cellular

I just purchased magic key board and have a new 12.9 gen 5 iPad. Track pad works but keyboard doesn’t. Apple wasn’t able to assist. Thinking it might be due to 15 upgrade?
