Hi there!
I'm scratching my head with this one: I've been working with a Magic Keyboard (2009) for quite a while and the other morning the A key, and that key only, stopped working "magically".
Does anyone have any clue?
Thanks in advance!
Mac mini, macOS 10.13
If you have the heart for it, and it's not that difficult, pop the A key from the keyboard with a small knife. Clean everything under and around the key, then "click" the key back in.
I had the same issue the W key. On my keyboard, it would become sticky.

Can you clarify? The Magic keyboard was not introduced until October 2015
What Mac model is it serving and what macOS version is it running?

My bad for mislabeling the keyboard :-/

I've tried it on several computers:
What else can I provide you to help diagnose?

Not finding that as a model designator either.
Just found this helpful Apple article:

Thanks for the suggestion!
I'll give a try as soon as I'm convinced there is no software issue implied.
Thanks for the kind guidance, Allan.
The dysfunctional keyboard is an Apple Wireless Keyboard 2009.
