User level: Level 1 (4 points)i have a iPad Air M2 13”
and ai connected the magic keyboard, but The keyboard lighting doesn't turn on, it doesn't let me in the control center either. I already tried to use it in a place with low lighting and it doesn't work either, only the "caps lock" key if it lights up in green, but the whole keyboard doesn't do it, what could it be? Will there be any solution or has it happened?

Sorry, but unlike the Magic Keyboard for iPad Pro that does have a keyboard backlight, the available Magic Keyboard for the iPad Air does not have a keyboard backlighting.
As to why Apple has decided to omit this feature for the iPad Air, we can only speculate - but, in all likelihood, will be due to product differentiation.
