Troubleshooting
Keyboard or trackpad not responding
Ensure your iPad is securely attached to the Magic Keyboard. Check that your iPad's Bluetooth is enabled. Try detaching and reattaching your iPad to the keyboard. Restart both your iPad and the Magic Keyboard (by detaching and reattaching).
Pass-through charging not working
Ensure the USB-C cable is fully inserted into the Magic Keyboard's charging port and the power adapter. Verify that the power adapter and cable are functional and providing sufficient power. Try a different USB-C cable and power adapter.
Trackpad gestures are not working as expected
Go to iPad Settings > General > Trackpad and adjust the tracking speed and scrolling behavior. Ensure your iPadOS is up to date, as gesture support is often improved with software updates.
