Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
I’m in the process of setting up my new MacBook Pro but my old Apple wired extended keyboard connected using an adapter (USB-A and USB-C) won’t work.
When I plug the keyboard back to my MacBook Pro 2011, it works fine.
I’ve tried rebooting and other online fixes such as checking the Accessibility settings but nothing works.
Any ideas?

After calling Apple a few times, I was finally escalated to a senior advisor who explained that my new MacBook Pro is not compatible with my old Apple keyboard (Model A1243 Version MB110LL/A). The only solution is to upgrade. I’m now waiting for the new keyboard to arrive. So far, the only hardware that I’ve been able to rescue as a result of my upgrade, is my Apple Cinema HD Display thanks to an adapter. The only way to avoid having to replace my two high-end printers is to keep my old 2011 MacBook Pro! What insanity by Apple - it’s a waste of resources and incredibly expensive. Had I known, I would have bought a used MacBook.

Are you using a dock or a single usb a to usb c dongle? I would suggest to use only a dongle and try setting up the keyboard like that
Well….it’s a short cable with a USB on one end and the USB-C on the other.
