How can you do that if your keyboard isn't connected?

In my magic keyboard the tab and caps lock keys keep going on and off, randomly. I do not understand why and how to fix that. When they don't work I try resetting resetting the keyboard, but to no avail. Then suddenly they sort of wake up and work again. How's that?

I bought a wireless keyboard at a flea market. When pairing I was able to enter all numbers, but the "Enter" key does not react. Is there some way to test the button?

Same for me. The problem was the enter key: there are 2 switches down the key but only the top one is pressed and this is broken. I removed the key, put a plastic spacer on the second switch and reassembled the key, all ok now.

Pairing my A1255 to my 2011 MacBook Pro, after many press and hold button attempts to reset, it was unsuccessful. Until I brought both the laptop and the keyboard to a insulated staircase of the building so no other Bluetooth devices are present, the two connected.
