Magic Keyboard not working with iPad Pro

I have a new iPad Pro and Magic Keyboard. After 7 keystrokes, typing stops. I’ve restarted and no change.

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