MacBook Hub Issue

Got a new USB hub. Worked simultaneously with the external keyboard and MacBook keyboard. Now the MacBook keyboard no longer works. But the external works fine. (Touchpad no longer works either.) If the hub is unplugged from the Mac, it's worthless. I have no keyboard. If it is plugged in and I use the external keyboard, no issues.

MacBook Air (M2, 2022)

Wired usb keyboard and mouse stopped working after updating to Ventura After updating to MacOS Ventura my wired mouse and keyboard is not recognized anymore, it does not appear in System report > USB I use a USB hub that has it's own power and it's working correctly, other USB devices connected to my hub are recognized, like a USB stick. It seems to be a problem with wired mouse and keyboard. Also tried with other wired mouse I have but the same happens. I know the mouse and keyboard I have works perfectly, If I connect the hub to an Android phone via USB-C port I can control the UI of the phone using the mouse and keyboard with no problem. I have a Macbook Air M1

Logitech MX Anywhere 2S & MX Keys stop working when connecting external HDD Hi everyone, I have a Logitech MX Anywhere 2S wireless mouse & MX Keys wireless keyboard which I connect to my Mac mini using their USB Unified Dongle. For some reason, whenever I plug in my external HDD, the mouse stops working and shows as inactive in the Logi Options+ app. Keyboard shows similar behaviour. If I connect a different wireless mouse using its own usb dongle, it works but it's very laggy. Everything goes back to normal when I disconnect my external HDD. I've tried all the USB ports on my Mac mini but still getting the same issue. External HDD is a 2.5'' one, USB powered. Using exactly the same setup with a Windows laptop, no issues there. I don't have another Mac device to test this unfortunately. Anyone else experiencing similar issues? I've got a Mac mini late 2014 with Mac OS Monterey 12.6.2 installed. Thanks!

USBA keyboard not connecting to MacBook Pro I have a wired USBA Apple Keyboard w/ numeric keypad (no bluetooth). I use an Apple USBA to USBC dongle to connect to the keyboard to the Apple Studio display and my 16" 2019 MBP is also connected to the Studio display, with the Apple thunderbolt cable that came with the display. When I first connect the MBP to the monitor, the external Apple keyboard is unresponsive and I have to open the MBP and use the keyboard there to type. If I leave the external keyboard and MBP connected to the Studio Display, the external keyboard suddenly starts working after varying lengths of time--a couple of hours to a day. If I disconnect the external keyboard or MBP from the display and reconnect it, the external keyboard becomes unresponsive again for 2-24 hrs. This happens every time I plug the MBP into the system and is 100% repeatable. I do not know if it is an issue with the Studio Display or MBP. To try to figure this out I removed the external keyboard from the Studio display and connected it to the MBP. The external keyboard did not immediately work when I connected it to just the MBP, by itself. I left it overnight to see if it would do a delayed connection, like on the Studio Display. It's been 12 hours and the keyboard has not connected to the MBP. I'm not sure if it is possible to hook an external keyboard to the MBP, but with mine it is not connecting no matter how long I leave it. Is there a setting to allow an external keyboard to be connected to a MBP that needs to be set? I have contacted the Studio Display community on this issue too. So far no resolution so I thought I would bring it up in this community as well. I have a Magic Mouse which connects immediately via bluetooth and works fine 100% of the time. Is there a way to make the keyboard connect immediately and reliably through the wired connections?

Have you updated to the latest version of Sonoma (14.4.1?) in the 14.4 version there were some issues with docks/hubs
