has anyone else had trouble with the keyboard holding a charge? Mine worked for about 4 months but now only works when plugged in.

My husband is the one that uses the keyboard . He hasn't had any trouble with the keyboard. It works great. Maybe you received one that is not good.

I found the key pad has to be fully charged. I have had no issues with mine.

I have not had any problems with the keyboard since my first purchase. Try to pair the keyboard again.

I think you must have an issue with your keyboard. I've had mine for a few weeks now and I use the keyboard all the time, have even left it on overnight and I've not charged it since the initial charge.

According to documentation that cord is only for charge of the keyboard battery. So no. I have not tried either so if you get it working then send me an update.

Ok, this is a guess (my keyboard only drained once so far). I had the same experience, so trusting the light to be truthful, I assumed the device only charges when it is switched on. Given I had used laptops in the stone age that only charged when turned on, I thought nothing of it at the time. This is not a high spec device, so there is no charging feedback other than the single light. Best of luck.

Try resetting your iPad, and if that doesn't work, it the square button in the top left corner a few times. Maybe it's stuck? Verify your keyboard is charged completely as well. I've seen rechargable devices do some weird things when they are almost out of juice. Other than that, try contacting Logitech?

Hi Ron, The first thing I would do is make sure the keyboard is fully charged. If the red light is on then you need to recharge the keyboard. If the light is blue (charged) I would make sure the bluetooth feature is enabled. You would do that by checking your settings. Once those two things are working properly you should be able to use it again if it worked before. Good luck with that!

I've been using mines for a week now and I had the same problem when I turned mines on. I was under the impression that the blue battery light meant that it was dying too. I think that just means that the keyboard is on when it flashes on. I turned it on and off until my iPad found it. There may be more clear instructions in the owners manual though. Goodluck!

The only time you need to plug it in is when it's charging. Other than that you should be good to go. I don't really know how long the keyboard lasts without a charge because I rarely use my tablet or the keyboard. Sorry.

I have charged my keyboard maybe once since I got it in January- Its very infrequent and we use it OFTEN. Good luck with your decision.

I've had mine for a few months and have experienced no trouble whatsoever, using the 10.1 Tablet charger to also charge the keyboard case. I don't use the separate bluetooth keyboard case that much, so I've only charged it a couple of times, and each time it has worked (charged) like a charm. Fact of the matter is, I have never had a separate charger for the case keyboard. Hope this is helpful information. Cordially,

Keyboard battery is charging when red light is on. When it goes off it is charged. If it goes off after just a few minutes it probably wasn't discharged very much to begin with.

Had mine for about 3 months, charged it about half-dozen times. System Preference has an icon when you load up the Logitech Software that will indicate how low the battery is. IIRC that software will also tell you, if you forget, to recharge it. I simply plug mine into the USB port on the keyboard, and continue to use but a couple hours later it's all good. I got mine at half the price of Apple's and most pleased. Took the Magic Pad back.

I purchased the 8 + 8 hour Tablet & keyboard for use on long flights.The keyboard works only when fully charged! There is supposedly an 8 hour battery in the keyboard so I plugged it in. However, I find that the keyboard power plug is very loose and the battery will not charge unless you place a tape to hold it in place and continue adjustting until you see the charge light indictor ON.It take took a FULL DAY to fully charge both the Tablet and the keyboard. The next morning, I worked on the Tablet with the keyboard and watched Netflix. Sadly, after 4 hours the low battery level forced the Tablet to go to SLEEP.I returned the Tablet and Keyboard.

Mine is still working. Every once in a while it takes off on it's own. The only reason I am still using it is the keyboard is eazy to see. It still works fair. It was worth what I paid for it.

Try charging it - the keyboard, not the ipad. That happened to me. Let it charge for a few hours and it should start working again.
