Nope just a charger, but a reboot seems to do it. Or it could've been just the timing of when it came and had nothing to do with the reboot, but I have the new fw, though it didn't improve my typing speed or accuracy one bit.
Got a tip for us?

As noted earlier in the thread, if you plug directly into a Mac that should invoke it immediately. For me it was a reboot, as I was only plugged into a charger, though the notes show they only need to be paired via BT for the update.
When I plug in a cable for my Magic Keyboard with Touch ID and Numeric Keypad, the displayed version immediately jumps to 4.1.0. When I unplug the cable, the version changes back to 3.1.4. Could the keyboard have multiple firmwares, for each connection type, ie, bluetooth vs. usb-c cable?
They couldn't be firmware updated, they didnt have firmware in the first, good old days.
They did have firmware. But it could only be updated if you reprogrammed the chips directly, e.g. via JTAG or desoldering.
Wondering/hoping this will help fast charging on Android. I doubt it.
The 140W adapter works great for Apple devices but has only been able to charge Android devices up to 15W when my tablet can do 45W.
I use an Mac/iPhone but a Samsung tablet.
