Keyboard Delay on Startup M2 MacBook Air

On startup my keyboard does not work instantly like it did on my MacBook Pro (2015), the delay is the same as my Magic Keyboard connecting to my iMac, but of course this is not expected due to the keyboard being built into the Air, has anyone else experienced this? Not a major issue at all, just a slight annoyance.

MacBook Air, macOS 12.5

Hey Conor-Hughes,


We'd be happy to help out. Sounds like your internal keyboard on your MacBook Air isn't responding as quickly as you're expecting at startup.


How long is it taking to begin responding? Is this the way it's behaved since purchase or is this something new? Do you recall any recent changes made since first noticing this?


We'd also suggest working through the steps here anytime your keyboard isn't responding as expected: If your Mac doesn’t respond to key presses - Apple Support


We hope the information there helps out and look forward to gathering more details to assist.


Take care!
