Hi. Recently purchased a Mac Air M1. Upgraded from an older version Mac Air. Plug in our USB keyboard and the Enter key on the number pad doesn't function as an Enter key. It is functioning as an Escape key. Works fine with the old Mac Air. Any ideas appreciated. No Mouse Keys enabled, keyboard works fine with the other Mac Air
Hi Ginja_Ninja,
Your Mac might think your keyboard uses a different layout than the actual one it uses. To reconfigure your keyboard for your Mac, follow these steps: Specify a keyboard type on Mac - Apple Support

Thanks for your reply Encryptor5000. Unfortunately that's not it. Keyboard type is set to ANSI on both Macs. Enter key by the number pad functions as an Enter key on the old Mac, but as an Esc key on the M1. Any other ideas greatly appreciated.
We have actually just fixed this. The old Mac where it worked had Keyboard - Input sources set to US. The new M1 where it didn't work had Keyboard - Input Sources set to Australian. Once we changed it to US, the troublesome Enter key by the number key pad on our External Keyboard magically decided to play ball. There you go. Thanks for your time.
