Hi ailtireacht,


Does unchecking all the options for Universal Control in the Apple menu  > System Preferences > Displays, then restarting all devices and checking the options again help? This step will stop Universal Control from working, refresh the macOS and connection with the keyboard, and then turn those back on, which might help with this issue.


If you haven't yet already, you'll also want to make sure that all devices involved are up-to-date:


Let us know how those steps go or if you've already tried those.


Take care.
