Magic Keyboard not charging My keyboard will not charge beyond about 20% even though I leave it to charge for several hours. It is still functioning via Bluetooth. Looking at Bluetooth settings it shows up greyed out. It is a fairly old keyboard, maybe 6 years old so perhaps the battery is failing.

Why does the Magic Keyboard keep working after flipping the off switch? And for how long? My rechargable Magic Keyboard will not turn off, even though I flip the off switch. The same behavior has been noted by other people. Does the switch not cut the power in some way? While I was wondering how I then could clean my keyboard without turning off my Mac (Disconnecting did not work – it just reconnected as soon as I pressed a key. I tried opening an empty text document, so all the gibberish from my cloth wiping the keys would end up there, but there are a lot of function keys too...) I eventually got a "Keyboard disconnected" message. Does anybody else have experience with how long this lag typically is?

12.75” ipad pro magic keyboard Hello peoples… We have an ipad pro (the big one) and the ‘magic’ keyboard. Its been working fine, but just this morning the keyboard has decided not to cooperate. It won’t charge the ipad or recognise any keystrokes. Have done all the usual… off/on, reboot, check usb leads, tried a different charge plug etc, all to no avail. The only thing i have noticed is that a few of the keys aren’t as ‘clicky’ as the rest (maybe half a dozen or so?) And typically its just out of warranty too. Any help would be appreciated….
