Runelk BT keyboard trackpad not working on iPad

I bought a runelk BT keyboard for my ipad from amazon. No issue whil connecting, and the keys work perfectly fine. However, there's a huge problem with the trackpad. It just does not work, and there's no any sign of cursor. But, when I turn on assistive touch and enable virtual trackpad, the hardware trackpad completely works. Since, turning the virutal trackpad on shows up the cursor, it is annoying to use the screen while there is the virtual trackpad interface on the screen itself. I am 99% sure that this is a software bug. If there's any help that I could get to use my runelk BT keyboard's trackpad, it'd be of great help. Thanks!!

Forget device and re-pair in a specific order

This is the #1 working fix.

  1. Settings → Bluetooth → tap the (i) next to your keyboard
  2. Forget This Device
  3. Turn Bluetooth OFF
  4. Restart iPad
  5. Turn Bluetooth back ON
  6. Pair the keyboard in trackpad mode (some keyboards require turning on the trackpad switch before pairing)

Important:

Do NOT move your finger on the trackpad during pairing — some models initialize incorrectly if touched during connection.

Check for cursor.
