Clicks Keyboard Case completely unresponsive on iOS 26 beta

Open dsw40094 opened this issue 7 months ago • 3 comments

Under iOS 18.5, my Clicks Keyboard Case worked perfectly with my iPhone 15 Pro. However, after updating to the iOS 26 Developer Beta, the keyboard no longer functions at all.

The case is still receiving power, but all hardware input is unresponsive — no keypresses register, no system-level interaction is detected. This issue persists across reboots and reconnections.

This clearly suggests a compatibility issue with iOS 26. Please confirm if firmware-level updates or a software patch is in development.

This significantly affects usability, especially for users relying on hardware keyboards. I expect a fix or at least a statement on beta compatibility.

Hi @dsw40094 was this supposed to be posted to the support page of the clicks keyboard case?

A lot of bugs will show up on developer betas and especially on developer beta one so I am not sure if anyone will yet have a clear picture if this is simply an iOS bug or something that requires software or hardware fixes. At a first guess it's potentially a security change on the USB which may not be resolved until many beta's later.

Good luck with updating your software to support the new features in iOS 26.

This is definitely an issue or incompatibility with iOS/iPadOS 26. Having the same issue with the Magic Keyboard of my iPad.

I am also having issues with the apple magnetic keyboard for iPad after updating to iOS 26

I am also noticing this issue with iOS 26.2. I poked around with settings on both my iPhone 17 Pro with a Clicks Keyboard as well as my iPad Pro with a Magic Keyboard, and the issue may be centering around Full Keyboard Access. When Full Keyboard Access is enabled, Delta is not able to see and interact with my keyboard. If Full Keyboard Access is disabled, Delta is able to read the button presses!

I find full keyboard access to be immensely useful (I can assign shortcuts and actions to specific key presses), so my workaround involves using the triple-click power button accessibility shortcut (titled “Accessibility Shortcut”). I went to the settings app, then selected Accessibility, then scrolled to the bottom and selected “Accessibility Shortcut”. I then checked “Full Keyboard Access”. This makes it so that if I triple-click my Power button, it will enable or disable Full Keyboard Access. So now my workflow is when I open up Delta, and then triple-click my power button and disable Full Keyboard Access to play games, and then when I am done playing I will triple-click the power button again to reenable Full Keyboard Access.

Maybe this will help the developers of Delta figure out a fix, but in the meantime it’s a decent workaround. Hopes this helps!
