if one googles this issue., one will find now several users posting unable to get the keyboard to work. Several blame the 11.0 upgrade but there were problems in 2016 too. I have new Wi-Fi, new keyboard and have tried everytjing suggested and nothing works. With the old (7 month old) keyboard I started getting accessory not recognized. New one from Apple not recognized. Store rep said he had never heard of the problem until the day I came to the store and within 30 minutes of the store opening, three customers came in with the problem. Apple is absolutely no help. I do not think they have a clue

Keyboard for iPad Pro not working

I read somewhere that there’s a built in reed switch which activates as the Keyboard is clipped on. Sometimes this fails.
Someone posted that rubbing a magnet over the 1 and 2 keys would make it work, but it never did for me.
Only a new keyboard fixed it.
Surprised it didn’t for you. Maybe it's the iPad itself?
Keep us informed...!

[doublepost=1512497204][/doublepost]I took the non-working new keyboard back. It was definitely the keyboard since it did not work on any of Apple store’s iPads. Their keyboard worked on my iPad. The new one I got works but once connected to my iPad, I have to apply a little pressure and slide back and forth before it works. This would suggest it may be the contact between keyboard and my iPad.
