iPad Pro iPad Pro - only 1 bluetooth device at the time?

[PandaNix]

I can add lots of devices to my list of pairs devices but I can't seem to get them to work at the same time. I use it for work so I want my headphones (non-apple), keyboard and mouse (both official devices) to work at the same time.

IT told me that that's correct - the iPad Pro can't use more than one bluetooth device at the same time.

But that seems crazy to me if you're meant to use it for work. I have to have the meeting on loudspeaker to use the keyboard or type on the screen if I want to use the headset. And that's without taking the mouse into account.

Is that it or is there a workaround?

I have an iPad Pro 4h gen 12.9 inch if that matters.

My M1 12.9 works with multiple Bluetooth devices simultaneously, e.g., my Bose headphones and Logitech MX Master 3 Mouse.

That's BS. Even my 2017 iPad Pro 2nd gen worked with AirPods, Logitech K780 keyboard, MX Ergo Plus trackball and Magic Trackpad at the same time

That's what I thought when he said it. But then why does my headset not connect 9/10? It works with my laptop and my iPhone (which I removed because it always connected to it without trying to the iPad) but never now with the iPad.

I've tried "forget the device" and re-pair it.

Could be the iPad has compatibility issues with the bluetooth headset?

I have the Apple AirPods 2, Beats X, Sony WI-C100 and Sony WI-XB400 paired with my M1 iPad Pro and those work fine with the iPad even when I'm using both bluetooth keyboard and trackball.
