My wired keyboard stop suddenly working on my MACBOOK AIR M2

Impossible to connect the keyboard anymore.

  • The keyboard still work on other macs
  • The USB-C on the computer work with other device


So it's not hardware.

I tried:

  • Unplug and replug in different port
  • Restart 10 times with or without keyboard connected
  • Tried to remove keyboard.plist in pref (but did not exist)
  • try to refresh the service in memory (keyboardservicesd from activity monitor)
  • Tried to reset SMC or NVRAM (but both don't exist on M2 anymore)


NB: I used apple dongle to plug apple usb keyboard to usb-c
