Keyboard won't work in recovery mode.

Hi there,


I'm currently trying to enable system extensions and when It asks for my password I'm unable to type anything in.


I'm using a Logitech MX keys that is connected by usb-c to my Mac mini M1 and nothing happens, surely I don't need to purchase an apple keyboard to fix this issue do i?


Thanks for your time.

Mac mini, macOS 11.6

I’ll assume you’ve gone through the pairing sequence?


Does this keyboard work elsewhere, if you’ve tested that?


It’s seemingly either failed, or is oddly incompatible.


i’d return this one, and find a different keyboard.


There are lots of choices, Apple and otherwise.


All that written, Logitech might be indirectly confirming a problem with the following:

Reset the NVRAM:

Sometimes changes (i.e. updates) are made to the system and then settings (i.e. for keyboard) become manipulated, technically.  So, reset both the NVRAM on your Mac. As for connecting it, you may need this adapter, if the keyboard has not USB-C plug in it USB-C to USB Adapter - Apple
