Keyboard no longer works with MacMini M2 Ventura

Rene -- I've gone thru my notes and I don't find anything that points to the actual problem. However, I did do updates to Ventura which had a couple updates, the last being 13.5.2. The issue was probably fixed with one of those. However, you have moved on from Ventura so I don't know what the fix should be.

I found this link to some suggestions: If your Mac doesn’t respond to key presses - Apple Support

I hope it helps!

I have a Macally and it stopped working. Looking into this issue, it was an update to Ventura's program. I just bought the MacMini M2 and wasn't expecting to lay out for a keyboard and mouse to. Perhaps Mac is working on a work around. I will keep checking. :)

Thanks for replying!

Yes, but it's pricey... the computer Mac Mini M2 was a bit pricey. My husband ordered a keyboard, Omoton, for about $30 and it came yesterday (7-31) It's Bluetooth. Also a mouse is on the way. Thank you so much for reaching out!

Initially the old Mac keyboard did work. But all of a sudden it stopped working. I think there was an update to the new Mac Mini M2. I went online to see an answer that, yes, there was an update and Apple is working on the keyboard issue. My husband ordered an Omoton wireless keyboard for about $30 and it should work fine with Bluetooth. Also, a mouse is on its way.

I had my two Mac Minis connected with a HDMI USB KVM Switch. The old one is 2011. It was working, but using Migration Assistant wasn't. The reason, is that there is a switch to access only one computer at a time. We are in a rural area of Florida and the wifi is poor.

I have a Macbook, and have had about three other Macs, but they are dust now.

Thank you for reaching out!

Hi Rene, I wasn't able to fix the Omotron keyboard to my liking. Some keys I have always used on the Mac would not work on the Omotron keyboard. I switched back to the Mac keyboard and Bluetooth and checked settings. I think it was probably a setting there that also had an issue.

Under System Settings, there is a Keyboard selection. Someone on this site suggested to me, which I don't remember now. I will look back and see if if I can find it for you.

Also, there has been System updates, so check on that.

I'm sure it would but my budget is tight. Maybe I can find a used one. I will also need a Mouse. Thank you for replying!

Keyboard and mouse issue resolved. My husband found a keyboard for about $30, an Omoton. It arrived today. Am waiting for a mouse. Thanks all for your input.

My system is now at Sonoma 14.0.
