Magic keyboard bluetooth/wireless not working

I dropped my magic keyboard on my cement floor.


  • My magic keyboard won't work unless it's plugged into either a power source or my laptop via Lightning. Battery level is at 99%. The minute I unplug it, it disconnects.
  • It's not discoverable via Bluetooth
  • I'm on Monterey 12.6.
  • I can't find anywhere to reset this keyboard. I tried the Terminal command "sudo pkill bluetoothd" to reset the Bluetooth module on my MacBook - not sure if I'm doing it right but didn't work
  • I removed all Bluetooth devices, turned Bluetooth on and off
  • I tried connecting wirelessly to an old MacBook and that didn't work
  • My AirPods are detected via Bluetooth fine


Do I need a new keyboard...

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 12.6
