Issue Mapping Keys on Apple Magic Keyboard

[masashiomori]

Karabiner version: 15.3.0
Mac OS: Sonoma 14.7

I'm trying to add a simple modification to my apple magic keyboard, but the key presses are not detected in event-viewer. I see that Karabiner does recognize that the keyboard is connected:

I did notice that the line "device_identifiers": { "is_keyboard": true } is not present in the configuration for the magic keyboard. Could that be a reason why the mappings aren't working? Please advise, thank you.

I have a similar issue. Function keys with my Magic Keyboard are not functioning in my case.

Karabiner version: 15.3.0
Karabiner DriverKit VirtualHIDKeyboard: 1.8.0
Mac OS: Sonoma 14.5

Strangely, if I use USB cable to plug it in, the Karabiner Elements app detects it correctly.

For reference, here is how I set up the function keys.

Does anyone know how to fix the issue?

I had this issue with a new Magic Keyboard until I plugged it into my laptop with a usbc cord. I got prompted to allow the USBC device which I assume is what was needed here

I actually plugged it into my Studio Display. Let me try to plug it into my laptop and see if it recognizes.

UPDATE: not working for me.

same, I don't even get the prompt :(

I can't reproduce the issue on my end. As mentioned above, the Magic Keyboard needs to be paired with macOS first, such as by connecting it via cable. I suspect that the pairing may not have been completed successfully.

I suspect that the pairing may not have been completed successfully.

Still having the same issue. As far as I can tell, the pairing is successfully completed, but the Karabiner Elements does not recognize the keyboard. As you can see the last image I attached above, it says (Unknown).

    {
        "device_id": 4295115206,
        "device_identifiers": {
            "product_id": 802,
            "vendor_id": 76
        },
        "is_apple": true,
        "location_id": 1401136774,
        "manufacturer": "Unknown",
        "product": "Magic Keyboard with Touch ID and Numeric Keypad",
        "serial_number": "1c-1d-d3-83-a6-86",
        "transport": "Bluetooth"
    }

If I plugged it with USB cable, it changes to

    {
        "device_id": 4295116220,
        "device_identifiers": {
            "is_keyboard": true,
            "product_id": 802,
            "vendor_id": 1452
        },
        "is_apple": true,
        "location_id": 51511296,
        "manufacturer": "Apple Inc.",
        "product": "Magic Keyboard with Touch ID and Numeric Keypad",
        "serial_number": "F0THCM0NA0A0000MQB",
        "transport": "USB"
    },

Normally, it would be recognized as follows.
It's also strange that the manufacturer is shown as "Unknown". If there's another possible cause, it could be that a third-party vendor's custom driver is installed, and the Magic Keyboard is being handled by that driver instead of the standard keyboard driver.
If such a custom driver is interfering, it may not function properly. In that case, please consider uninstalling the custom driver.
