keyboard on 2017 macbook stops working after login My MacBook Air keyboard works until I click on the user. I can enter my password and enter. Once it goes into the user account, the keyboard and trackpad stop working entirely. Any thoughts / tips?

Certain keys on M2 Mac Air not responding I recently brought a refurbished M2 13' Mac Air which was working completely fine until around a week after I got it. Certain keys on the left side of the keyboard: the return, forward slash, square brackets and f11 and f12 keys would stop working for a little bit and then come back. But now, for around 30 hours, they've been completely unresponsive. I tried all the tips on youtube, made the key repeat rate fastest, etc. and nothing has worked.

Macbook Pro keyboard operating erratically Appears like some focus shifting and cursor not moving forward after typing the letter in some applications. A blue boundary on elements under each application while typing.

Sounds broken. Try an external keyboard to verify.

Check and see if Mouse Keys is turned ON. If so, turn OFF.
