My Logitech bluetooth keyboard pairs with my iPad 2, however, several of the keys are reversed (a and q, for example). I've rebooted the iPad, changed batteries in the keyboard, confirmed the keyboard language, and nothing seems to work. Keyboard works fine with iPad mini and iPhone 6S. Any ideas? Thanks!

Reversed a and q normally means you have an AZERTY (french) keyboard active (assuming you are an English speaker). If you have a "globe" key, tap it to make sure English is selected. If that is the case, go to the keyboards menu inside settings and tap English to make sure qwerty is selected in the hardware section.
Thanks, Tom! I did try that (and had done so previously after reading other suggestions), but it did not solve the issue. If it gives you any additional clues, the "m" and the "," and "w" and "z" are reversed, as well! Any other ideas?! Thanks again.

Yes, if the top row of keys is typing, AZERTY instead of QWERTY, that is the French keyboard. Same for the M.
What exactly do you see in the list of keyboards under settings? And why do you see when you tap on English so you get a list of virtual and hardware layouts? Which one is selected under Hardware?
Yes, that makes sense, but it's already on Querty. When I change to Azerty or Qwerty, the on-screen keyboard does change to foreign keyboards. However, when I elect Qwerty, then the on-screen keyboard is accurate - with keys as they should be.
Something happens when I use the Logitech keyboard, I guess.
My list of Keyboards includes "English" and "Emoji." Under English, I've selected Qwerty. I don't see a hardware list! Sorry to be so much trouble, but I feel like I'm close to an answer! By the way, the keyboard works fine with my iPhone and iPad mini.
Finally, my iPad 2 is running iOS 9.0.2 and is up to date. Thanks.

I think that under English with a wireless keyboard connected you should normally be able to choose the layout you want from among us, dvorak, colemak, us international-pc, us extended, british, french, german, spanish-iso, italian, dutch, belgian.
Does anything change if you do Command plus Space or Control plus Space on your hardware keyboard? That would normally change the layout from English to something else if you had more than one on your list.
BRILLIANT! Thank you for your persistence. Sure enough, I had not noticed the option under keyboards for "hardware," and as you suggested, France had been selected somehow. I restored to U.S., and we're all set. Thanks so very much. I appreciate your help. 🙂
