Troubleshooting
Keyboard will not connect to Mac.
Ensure the keyboard is powered on. Connect the keyboard to your Mac using the USB-C to Lightning Cable to force a connection and charge the battery. Check your Mac's Bluetooth settings to ensure Bluetooth is enabled and the keyboard is listed. If already listed, try removing it and re-pairing. Ensure your Mac is running macOS 11.4 or later and has Apple silicon.
Touch ID is not working.
Make sure your Mac is awake and you are using a registered finger. Check System Settings > Touch ID & Password on your Mac to ensure Touch ID is set up and enabled for the functions you desire (e.g., Unlocking your Mac, Apple Pay). If issues persist, try restarting your Mac.
Battery is not charging or holding a charge.
Ensure the USB-C to Lightning Cable is securely connected to both the keyboard and your Mac's USB-C port (or a power adapter). Try using a different USB-C port on your Mac or a different cable/power adapter to rule out cable or port issues. Allow adequate time for charging.
Keys are sticky or unresponsive.
Turn off the keyboard and gently clean around the affected keys with a soft, lint-free cloth, possibly slightly dampened with water. Avoid forcing or prying keys. If the issue persists, contact Apple Support.
