Few keys on my external keyboard (not form Apple) control my Mouse pointer (Mouse also not from Apple)

I use a external keyboard which is not of apple’s to my iPad 7th gen and few keys such as m,o,u and etc are controlling the assistive touch cursor, now I use a mouse which is not of apple’s products and those keys are able to move my cursor around and those keys do not type,

Thankyou!

Runelk BT keyboard trackpad not working on iPad I bought a runelk BT keyboard for my ipad from amazon. No issue whil connecting, and the keys work perfectly fine. However, there's a huge problem with the trackpad. It just does not work, and there's no any sign of cursor. But, when I turn on assistive touch and enable virtual trackpad, the hardware trackpad completely works. Since, turning the virutal trackpad on shows up the cursor, it is annoying to use the screen while there is the virtual trackpad interface on the screen itself. I am 99% sure that this is a software bug. If there's any help that I could get to use my runelk BT keyboard's trackpad, it'd be of great help. Thanks!!

Disable sliding text cursor feature iPadOS Sliding two fingers across the OSK moves the text cursor in that direction. It's fine, but tapping two fingers highlights the previous word. QWERT keyboards are designed to slow typing speed for typewriters, but apple added an extra layer of slowness to it. If you press two keys at once according to the iPad, it will highlight the previous word and mess up the sentence. As far as I know, there's no way to disable this feature.

Smart keyboard folio issue with IPAD PRO Hello, for some month already, when i connect the smart keyboard folio with my Ipad pro 12,9, it seems that the key tab is somehow active and selects (in blue) windows, apps or buttons i do not need. It became harder to use the keyboard as i need to chek every time if the selected item is the one needed. Do someone has the same experience? Dis you find a solution? any idea? Thanks

Are those keys not typing a problem? If so, you just need to go to your Accessibility settings and turn OFF the Mouse Keys feature.
