Caps Lock key is delayed when turning on

In the title. It affects how I type quite a bit. It happens randomly and I'm getting super angry. The person who tried to help me last time just told me to "reset your Mac" even though I told them I did. Any good methods?

Mac mini, macOS 15.1

Caps lock on Macbook Air doesn’t turn off Help! Since today, without any reason, my macbook air seems to be on constant Caps Lock. My first reaction was to restart it (stupid!) and now I can’t even log in anymore, because I need lowercase letters and numbers for that. Does anyone have experience with this and know what to do?

Caps Lock Key My caps lock key does not work properly, I purchased my mac in September 2022, when I press the button, is is very inconsistent, sometimes caps lock will turn on, other times it wont. I have tried multiple troubleshooting methods shown in other threads, but to no avail. I have tested this thoroughly by pressing the caps lock button multiple times in the same position with the same amount of force, where the indicator will not turn on/off everytime, I would say it works 50% of the time, I have cleaned the keyboard and ensured there is nothing blocking the area below the keycap.

Caps Lock function cannot be turned off Caps Lock Button light (LED) works perfectly fine (turns on/off when pushed) but Caps Lock function remains on no matter what (capital letters, special symbols only). The problem occurred out of the blue when trying to log in on my MacBook Pro M1 2020, newest OS update (it would not accept my password as it could only be written in capital letters. A password reset is not possible as I cannot type correctly both my Apple ID email address as well as my password. Thus it’s impossible to log-in or access the Mac Settings). Important: I had the battery unit (includes the keyboard) replaced half a year ago and it worked perfectly fine. It cannot be a hardware problem because otherwise it would type lower case letters (and the regular set of characters) when holding shift key - but it doesn’t!
