iOS 9.2 causing lag in Logitech Create keyboard for iPad Pro

Same issue here. Would appreciate an update on the status of this problem from Apple. As this is clearly a software isue, I don't think an update from Logitech is needed. Apple, when will it be fixed?

Hi Guys,

I've just bought my iPad Pro today and one of these Logitech keyboards and am also coming up with the same issue.

But I think I have a resolution that may be of some use to you.

I've just gone in to the Settings menu (Settings > General > Keyboard) and disabled all of the keyboard settings from Auto-Capitalisation down to Enable Dictation.

This seems to have improved the responsiveness of the keyboard somewhat and it hasn't dropped a key yet.

So give that a go, and at least you should then be able to use the basics of the keyboard.

I'm thinking that as Apple update their software, if it has any impact on the iPad that makes it think a bit whilst you're typing then that is going to have an impact. So probably things like Predictive, Auto Correction, Shortcuts that might use a bit of processor power and cause it to think about each keystroke then might make it miss the following keystroke and so-on which is then causing the lag and missed keystrokes.

So my recommendation is for you to have a play around with the keyboard settings. Turn it all off, and then just turn on those items you really need.

This should then keep you typing whilst Logitech and Apple work together on a solution.

Merry Christmas.

The stopgap fix that diamond_geezer1974 recommends worked for me. I still hope a software update happens soon that makes this workaround unnecessary, but in the meantime, the keyboard is far more responsive. Thanks for the tip!

Thank you for the suggestion. I have attempted the suggested keyboard settings, restarted the iPad Pro, and reconnected the Logitech Create keyboard. the result was a slight improvement but I am still seeing many dropped letters, and a space key that takes off repeatedly and uncontrollably across the screen until stopped by hitting the "Delete" key. This temporary fix may make just enough of a difference to make the keyboard semi-functional for simple and short tasks but there are still too many errors to be able to use the iPad Pro and Logitech keyboard for any serious writing. It is simply too inaccurate and frustrating. Its a real shame because I really liked writing with the two devices together when I first bought them prior to the iOS 9.2 update.

If this is not fixed by the time my Apple Store holiday extended return policy is up in mid-January, both the iPad Pro and the Logitech keyboard are going to be returned to Apple. They simply are not a usable tool as they are.

ios 9.2 and Logitech keyboard not working well here either

One thing I do like bout this suggestion is that at first I was all like "I don't want to turn all that stuff off though". But then I thought about why I use it - for typing on the iphone. I don't have all that stuff tunred on for my Mac and with a proper keyboard I'm actually happier ith it all turned off.

So it amkes animprovement but as oyu can see, it is n ot perfect. For me, so far I found that it is worst in Safari - as this post demonstrates.

In notes it is not too bad at all and most of the keys seem to be coming out ok.

Also, in GOOD WORK which I use for work all the time it is pretty good.

Both paragraphs above were typed in those respective apps and copied over.

Thanks for the suggestion. It's much better than nothing as we wait for a fix.

This tip does seem to improve the issue, although your mileage may vary based on the app. As was pointed out above, text area inputs in web forms like this one seem to be extra laggy for some reason. I've switched between a bluetooth Logitech Keys-To-Go keyboard and my Create for typing this and the Create is noticeably worse.

In the meantime, my Apple Store took back both my Apple Smart Keyboard cover and silicone case and extended my return period on the Create until Jan 8. Hopefully we'll have a patch to fix it by then. I've experimented swapping the Create with a $40 Insignia case and the Keys-To-Go and frankly the Bluetooth is winning right now.

It's a much chintzier solution with worse key-travel but there's very little input lag. :-/

This is upsetting. Besides the lag, is anyone having issues that the keyboard disn't always work. I have to restart the iPP. Everything is lined up. The keys light up. Just nothing types.

I personally haven't encounterd that issue, but I've seen people mention it on Logitech's forums. Not sure if anyone has found a fix.

That same issue? Glad to hear that it's just not me then. Ill have to look at those forums to see. Thanks for the info

I am having keyboard distress also, sometimes a combination of keystrokes will cause the cause

ALL,

fwiw, I spoke to Logitech today and they told me verbatim that Apple dropped the ball admittedly and forgot to include a driver for the keyboard and that this would be addressed in an iOS point release on Jan 1. Color me skeptical on a Jan 1 release, but the rest seems plausible to me.

I can see this being on Apple. Apparently the keyboard worked before the update. I don't know if Jan 1 will work for e because I'm still within my return period. I might just return it and get the smart keyboard.

Guses Apple needed to improve sales of their version of the keyboard,

It's the only logical reason for ignoring the problem.

Hopefully somebody will release some NON-Apple solution soon. No faith at all left in Apple. Had the came clean and spoke to this problem at all - I'd have some respect left.

It's gone so far that I would (for the first time) consider this drastic measure to restore my junk to working condition.

LLogitech will not take back the $150 case and Apple will not refund the Now worthless iPad Pro.

We are left with no option but to leave the realm of what Apple says we can and cannot do.

I Found a website the claims to have a way to roll back to the good Ol' days of IOS 9.1

I'll try that and post my results here.

If it breaks my iPad: no loss - already broken.
