Keyboard just clicks,without generating any output. I have resolved once by deleting ~/Library/Preferences/apple.com.keyboard.plist.
My new issue? How can I delete it again, when keyboard doesn’t work? I can drag the file to the Bin…but then it asks me for my Apple Password, which without a keyboard, I cannot enter.
thanks
MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 12.0
Hi, I took it to an authorised Apple Repairer. He has identified that it is a Battery Problem, as a 2015 MacBook Pro, the cells are integrated/unremovable. He spotted that the trackpad was slightly raised/angled. On removing the casing, he found that all 8 cells, which make up the battery, are "swollen" and distorted. He called them "about to pop". He is replacing the battery cells with Apple authorised components, and moving out some IC components to help the process, and clean out the fluff and debris. This is an expensive process. Just shows-to-go, you can always learn something new!

You'll have to borrow an external keyboard to do the job. Or get an inexpensive keyboard from one of the big box electronic stores.
I have tried 2 Bluetooth keyboards and a Windows USB keyboard- all take on the fault, which MUST be Software/Firmware related rather than purely keyboard
The KB are Apple KB or Third Party KB.
Is Apple - use the supplied USB-C to Lighting Cable and connect to KM and then Directly to computer.
If Third Party KB - that becomes a different matter.
Looks like it's time to get an appointment at the nearest Genius Bar for a free diagnostic check. I'd take in one of the other Keyboareds as well to demonstrate the problem.
MacBook Pro - Keyboard no longer works
