Troubleshooting

Keyboard not connecting or pairing with my Mac.
  1. Ensure the keyboard is charged. 2. Verify Bluetooth is enabled on your Mac via `System Settings` > `Bluetooth`. 3. Try connecting the keyboard directly to your Mac using the included USB-C cable; this often forces pairing. 4. Restart both your Mac and the Magic Keyboard (by turning it off and on via the switch on the rear edge). 5. Check if your macOS version is 11.0 Big Sur or later.
Touch ID is not working or not recognized.
  1. Ensure your fingers are clean and dry when attempting to use Touch ID. 2. Check `System Settings` > `Touch ID & Password` on your Mac to ensure your fingerprint(s) are enrolled and Touch ID is enabled for the desired functions (e.g., Unlocking your Mac). 3. Try deleting and re-adding your fingerprint. 4. Restart your Mac.
Battery drains faster than expected.
  1. Ensure the keyboard is fully charged using the provided USB-C cable. The battery is designed to last a month or more. 2. If used heavily or frequently in certain conditions, battery life may vary slightly. 3. Ensure the keyboard is turned off when not in use for extended periods to conserve battery.
Keys are sticky or unresponsive.
  1. Gently clean around and under the affected keys with a soft, lint-free cloth or compressed air to remove any debris. 2. Ensure the keyboard is charged, as low battery can sometimes cause erratic behavior. 3. Restart your Mac and the keyboard.
