Hello Ray, I have an amazon basics keyboard too. I’m getting the same behaviors with mine as you are. Here are some work arounds. To get to the app switcher press control option and the letter h that will take you away from the app. It will still be open but just in the back ground. If you want to be able to close the app press the control option and hold them down. Then you want to press the h twice quickly while you are holding those keys down. It will say app switcher then you are given the option to close the app. If you want to delete e-mail messages, you have to have your roder set to actions. Then you can up arrow to delete the e-mail message. Now, if you were referring to iMessages you have to have the roder on actions press the up arrow the first thing you are going to hear is hide alerts. Up arrow again and it will say delete. You double tap there and it will say delete null. As soon as you close the app the messages will be gone. I don’t think it is the amazon basics keyboard because I use a smaller keyboard when I’m away from home and get those same behaviors. So, I’m hoping these behaviors will get fixed with another update.

Under Bluetooth settings, it Identifies as a KT1281. After the upgrade, I no longer have a number of the f key functions such as f1 twice to get to the app switcher. Is this a bug or is this keyboard no longer compatible with IOS11? Also how do I go about deleting messages from the messages app without having to stand on my head? When I select delete and invoke it with either a finger or the keyboard, The message does not appear to delete. What might I be missing or, is this also a bug? Ray T.
