Keyboard keys not responding on macOS Sequoia 15.7.5

Hi,


For the past few days, I have been experiencing an issue where a few keys on my keyboard are not responding.


I even purchased a new keyboard. The problem persists.


MacOS Squoia 15.7.5.


Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi Tom,

Thank you so much.

That was certainly the biggest problem. I also had to reset many of the keyboard settings to the default. A behavior not mentioned in the link above is the fact that sometimes when I pressed the key "i", the number 8 appeared.

An "i" resulting in "8" suggests a possible issue with the physical keyboard, as the two keys are adjacent.

I would try with a different keyboard and see if the issue remains. If not, it is probably a hardware issue.
