iPad Pro 12.9 3rd Generation Key Board Replacement

My iPad Pro 12.9 3rd Generation Key Board is at times failing to connect, it is sporadic. I have looked at connections and they seem ok. Two questions, is there anything else I should try, second is Apple selling a Key Board that would still work? It is a A1876 Model

Remove the Smart (folio) keyboard from your iPad - and carefully/gently clean the smart connector contacts on both the iPad and keyboard with a soft pencil eraser. Ensure that the contacts are dirt and dust free - and all debris from the eraser have been removed - before reconnecting the two.


If you can't connect your iPad to your Magic Keyboard, Smart Keyboard, or Smart Keyboard Folio - Apple Support
