Touchpad doesn’t work

Hello Dawn-77,

It sounds like you're having an issue with the trackpad on your Magic Keyboard. Is that right?

What happens when you try using it? Does the keyboard itself seem to work?

Depending, this could help to Set up and use Magic Keyboard for iPad:

"Adjust trackpad settings and keyboard brightness

To adjust your trackpad, go to Settings > General > Trackpad. You can change the tracking speed—the speed that the pointer moves—as well as the scrolling direction. And you can turn on or off Tap to Click and Two Finger Secondary Click.

Like an iPad, the brightness of the Magic Keyboard automatically adjusts based on the light conditions around you. If you want to manually adjust the brightness of the keys on your Magic Keyboard, go to Settings > General > Keyboard > Hardware Keyboard."

Let us know if adjusting those settings helps. Take care.

iPadOS does not have any facility by which to change the touchpad pointer style.

Apple do invite submission of comments and feature requests via its Product Feedback portal. For iPad and iPadOS:
