So I'm currently trying to get an old A1016 keyboard to work with my machine which is currently running the latest Monterey Beta. The Bluetooth setup is exactly the same as it was in Big Sur. Unfortunately it just won't allow me to pair.
What happens is the keyboard is found using the Setup Bluetooth Keyboard method from System Prefs, but the option to input a passkey does not appear until I press return, upon which it immediately vanishes.
I have a Fenvi FV-HB1200 card (basically a smaller cheaper T919) which I thought might have been the issue at first, but I have no problem connecting the A1016 to Windows 10 & 11 on the same card, so that leads me to believe it must be to do with the way macOS is behaving with an older device.
Has anyone tried a newer OS with a similar card with this very keyboard? I have also purchased an A1314 but the A1016 has the numeric keypad and the long travel keys which I prefer (it's also the best keyboard I think Apple ever made in my opinion).
Let me know if you need more info such as specs etc.
