Buttons dead on Macbook

Good evening! I noticed that in the last 48 hours or so, most buttons are "dead" on any websites I am using. I cannot update or design any of my art or fabric designs. Help!

With kindest regards,

Hello MacSolutionsforGrandmothers,


To start, you'll want to add more specific detail to your post. When you say "buttons" are you talking about the keys on the keyboard?


If the keyboard is not working properly, you'll want to start with the basics like restarting the device and making sure it's up to date.


Shut down or restart your Mac

Update macOS on Mac


Here's some additional recommendations for keyboard issues: If your Mac doesn’t respond to key presses


If you're talking about something else, update your post with more details on what exactly you're doing, or what application you're using when you experience this problem so community members can provide more relevant responses.


Cheers!
