Often, the magic keyboard doesn’t work. How can I fix this?

I have ipad pro 10.5 inches. I bought the Magic Keyboard with it but lately, when I am typing, it stops working and I have to type on the screen keyboard. Very frustrating.


iPhone 11 Pro Max, iOS 17

Remove the iPad from the 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.
