We can certainly understand your concern and can help provide some insight.
We recommend checking out these steps for more information on how to troubleshoot Mac keyboards.
" If your Mac doesn’t respond to key presses
If your Mac doesn’t respond when you press the keys on your keyboard, or if pressing some keys has unexpected results, try the following.
If no keys work on an external keyboard
- Disconnect and reconnect the keyboard. Make sure the connector is completely inserted into the port.
- Connect your keyboard to a different USB port or to a different Mac. If this solves the problem, your Mac may need to be repaired. Contact Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider for service. Repairs performed by untrained individuals or using non-genuine Apple parts may affect the safety and functionality of the device.
- Connect a different keyboard to this Mac. If this solves the problem, you may need to take your keyboard in for service.
If no keys work on your Mac notebook computer’s built-in keyboard
- Your Mac may be showing a low battery alert that you can’t see. Connect your Mac to an electrical outlet or connect an external keyboard to your Mac to see the alert. "
