Unresponsive key

For no apparent reason my key B got unresponsive. Model A1502 with scissors keyboard. Already tryed removing key with mechanism and blowing everything with air but haven't got any results.

What to do?May it be software problem?May reinstalling macOS solve it?Or shall i just go to service and replace the keyboard?

M2 Macbook Air unresponsive keyboard Ventura 13.2 My newish M2 Macbook Air has a keyboard that is occasionally unresponsive for many seconds, some times over 30. It runs on Ventura 13.2. I have noted this in Safari, TextEdit, and Mail. The link points to the usual suspects. None of these apply. Is this happening to anyone else? Is an actual remedy known?

My Mac Pro is acting like a key is stuck My 2022 MacBook pro has just recently started acting strange, but only intermittently. At times it will act as though a keyboard key is stuck ( 0 ) and make the constant dinging sound. I already have checked and there is no dirty or it not appears to be mechanically the problem I only use the built-in keyboard but I have tried to use a wireless one, the issue is the same... Several times I've been able to reboot the computer to resolve the issue, but other times it does not solve the issue on the first try. I really have no idea what it would be, but it's extremely frustrating. If anyone has any thoughts on what it might be please let me know!

Macbook Pro letter M key not working My letter M key stopped working, it presses all the way down it is not stuck. Some of my other keys need to be pressed more than once to work or come out double. I was sure it was from crumbs getting stuck under my keys. I brought my macbook into Apple to be looked at, I was told my keyboard needs to be replaced and that I should do the battery while I'm at it.... it would be about $300 does this make sense? Is there no cheaper way to do this?

Does an external keyboard work properly? If so, then the built-in keyboard has a hardware failure.

Fixed that with total keyboard replacement.

Yes, external one works perfectly.
