[iPadOS 18.4 PB 4] Magic Keyboard Not Registeting Touchpad or Mouse Clicks across OS

Hardware: iPad Pro 11" (M2 Version)

Software: iPadOS 18.4 Beta 4 (most recent as of 2025-03-24)

Got an interesting one today that I am curious if anyone else has run into, and sadly it’s one that does affect my iPad use a lot!

I use the Magic Keyboard 11” on mine. After upgrading to the Public Beta 4 last night, the keyboard works fine, the trackpad shows my grey dot on the screen and even indicates that it recognizes a trackpad click by that grey dot changing slightly.

However, the actual click, nor scrolling, actually works in any way shape or form. The only gesture I’ve seen work up to this point is the three-finger motion to change applications, that’s it.

I have two iPad’s, and two keyboards, and it does not matter which keyboard one I use, which confirms that it’s likely a software issue of some sort. Other reason that’s the case? Hooking up an external trackball and the same behavior happens.

Anyone else run into this?

Reboot has solved for now, but still perplexed. May not be related. Will keep an eye on this.
