Up and Down Arrow Keys Not Working on MacBook Pro M1 Max

I got a new MacBook Pro M1 Max a few days ago. I just noticed that my up and down arrow keys are note working. It’s running macOS Monterey 12.0.1. This is happening in all applications. I have tried disconnecting all accessories and other devices and rebooting. That has not fixed it.


Typically, I would reset the SMC, but apparently this doesn’t exist on the M1 chips. I'd be grateful for any help.

Open keyboard viewer (Open System Preferences>Keyboard>Input sources and click on show input in menu bar, then click on the keyboard icon in menu bar and select show keyboard viewer. )

Press on the arrow keys and side if the virtual keyboard shows those keys being depressed.

I am using Monterey 12.1and find that command + up / down arrow key doesn't take me to top or bottom of page as in previous MacOS.

I'd be grateful for clarification around your answer.

Open System Preferences OK

>Keyboard OK

>Input sources OK

click on show input in menu bar ?? I see no "show input" here.

then click on the keyboard icon in menu bar and select show keyboard viewer. ) ?? I see no "show keyboard" here

Press on the arrow keys and side if the virtual keyboard shows those keys being depressed. ?? I don't understand this.

Clarification would be much appreciated. Thank you.

I saw that your problem was solved but I wanted to say how you would get to that menu in case you want to go in the future.


So on input sources at the bottom left you should see a[+ | -] thing and to the right of that there should be a check box that says "Show input menu in menu bar". After you click on that there should be an icon that appears on your top bar area section that has 3 lines and the command symbol. When you click on that click "show keyboard viewer" and that's how you go there.

Arrow keys are not working and "Keyboard > Input Sources" does not display correct keyboard. I am running Monterey v. 12.2.1 on iMac 24 inch M1 2021(only because my old faithful died) and have a QWERTY keyboard with number pad but displayed keyboard is without number pad, arrow keys, page up/down/home /end/ right delete/Fn and F13-F19 keys
