Hello Pavan Kulkarni,

Which keyboard and mouse model are you using? If they are third-party, you may want to check to see if they are compatible with the latest software version on your iPad.

If they are, we suggest you contact Apple Support. They'll be able to investigate with you further.

Take care.
