Hello:

I have a new USB C Magic Keyboard Firmware 3.1.4 connected to a M3Ultra Studio operating under MacOS 26.1. Yesterday, a new firmware was released for the keyboard--3.1.8. How do I get the firmware to update on the keyboard. I have tried the following:

1) Reboot the computer.
2) Disconnect and reconnect the keyboard.
3) Forget keyboard and re-connect.

None of this has resulted in updating the firmware on the keyboard. I know it is supposed to happen automatically, but that also is not happening.

Any suggestions on how to get the new firmware for the keyboard.
 
Re-booting the Studio, forgetting the keyboard, re-connecting the keyboard ended up updating the firmware. Just took about 30 minutes.
