iPad keyboard - some keys not working sometimes, slows down and duplicates letters other times

OK so a full backup, delete and erase settings and all data seems to have fixed it.

Its a PITA having to restore all network and passwords for email accounts, but the ipad was unusable in its state before. Ill post back in 24 hours or so with an update.

Yup, glad to find that my iPad Air 2 is not the only one with this issue, I have dozens of screenshots of my iPad doing weird stuff. Keyboard went to top of the screen, keyboard in portrait orientaion but the rest of my screen in landscape, semitransparent keyboard, all sorts of weird stuff. Shift key and some alphabets keys not responding is also a common issue, I'll usually just close and restart the app I am using to reset the keyboard.

So here we are less than 24 hours later and the problem seems to be occurring again, browser typing and iMessage typing like Im drunk and even soft resets are not curing the problem. Tried to log in here, but it kept doubling some keys and as the password is blanked, cant see what it ends up with so just doesnt work!

I have this same question. It started after a software update. And this was quite a recent post, so even if my problems are slightly different, I don't think it's a coincidence.

Lately my keyboard has also not been showing pressed buttons, and I have to try two or three times. One time the 'a' just would. not. type. I've restarted but nothing's changed. It's a problem with the inbuilt board.

I have the same problem. Bottom left and right 2 keys randomly stop working. If I tap the microphone button then stop it this resets. But that is annoying. There are other problems with the keyboard like this one where my keyboard came in upside down from the lock screen (I took a screen shot) When replying to a text. (Check "message" line which is right side up)

They may be all related so I throw this info out there to see if someone from Apple has a suggestion that is not to restore to factory settings.

btw, sometimes I find certain keys like backspace are not working on sites like Facebook (not the app) and refreshing page helps.. May also be related, who knows!?

I get the upsidedown keyboard and the latest update has made the ipad internal keyboard unstable. It misses keys, duplicates others and the screen seems to zoom in on browsers when a single finger is used to attempt a scroll.

No changes to accessibly from standard and a soft reset doesnt cure it.

Trying a full erase and restore.

I was thinking of getting a Pro, but the devices reliability problems have steered me away from this.

I assume we're talking about the ipad on screen keyboard. I've an iPad Air 2 and ever since the latest upgrade to 10.3.3 my keyboard has been sticking, typing letters I didn't touch, not even back spacing without hesitations and generally being a PITA!

Does anyone know if Apple is aware of this issue and what they're doing about it? I'm a fast typist, even on the ipad and this slows me down tremendously at times. And then at times it works perfectly. Weird and annoying!

Thanks for the mic workaround.

I've not seen the upside down keyboard but run into the 2 bottom left keys not working almost daily. Pretty annoying.

I too have an iPad Air 2 on iOS 10.3.3 I think it started with the previous update though, not just 10.3.3.
