iPad Pro keyboard issues

I have a gen 2 iPad Pro 12.9 inch and my keyboard Keeps saying accessory not supported. I have had this iPad from new for many years now but this has been happening the last 6 months, is there a fix or is there a keyboard I can still buy that’s compatible as there didn’t seem to be in the store Thanks

iPad Pro, iPadOS 14

See >>> If you see an ‘Accessory may not be supported’ alert - Apple Support


If you are using a Smart (folio) keyboard, the alert is typical of a faulty folio keyboard. The electrical connections that pass though the flexible fabric hinges typically fracture - this usually resulting in errors and/or the on-screen notification that you see. 


The Smart folio keyboard itself is not repairable. The only remedy is replacement of the keyboard.
