Caps lock light not working since upgrading to Mojave

I have a 2014 MacBook Air with the released Mojave, and the Caps Lock key shows a green light as always. I am not using Karabiner, and your version may not be ready for Mojave yet. Check with the developer.

Thanks Tom, I had the same issue. I only use Karabiner for delete so I'll manage without that as the lack of cap lock light was driving me mad. A shame Apple do not support keyboard remapping natively.

Indeed, if you reassign the caps lock key to another function, like I did to mute/unmute the mic, you lose the green LED... but it is immediately back if you turn off Karabiner elements in the menu bar... quitting the Karabiner elements app by itself does not do that.

Hey Tom,

I had the same issue.

But when I updated to Karabiner Elements Beta the issue got resolved.

Open Karabiner Elements >> Go to "Misc" tab >> Check for Beta updates >>Install the Beta update and the issue should be fixed.

App version is 12.1.56

FWIW, the issue was already solved two months ago and based on the fact the caps light key works for others running Mojave it's not an upgrade issue. As was pointed out, it was caused by an incompatibility with Karabiner. Your issue may be caused by Karabiner, a different app, a dead bulb, or whatever but you should start your own thread since this one is solved.

There was nothing to indicate that Tom's problem was solved. Although someone named VikingOSX marked the issue solved:

what he wrote was not a solution. Once I saw the entry by krishnab8485 I was able to solve my problem and replied as such. Not sure how to make it clear that this was solved and here is the solution, but it was not clear to me.

Karibiner has a beta update available specifically to fix the cap lock light issue. Check for beta updates under the Misc tab within Karibiner. Hope this helps.

Well shucks. I went and tested a MacBook, a MacBook Air, an iMac and a iMac Pro and the caps light key worked on all of them. I see I am a little late to the party. 😁

That worked, many thanks.

I have a pretty new iMac that I just upgraded to Mojave. And now the caps lock light no longer lights when I hit the caps lock. So it is the upgrade to Mojave and not the age of your computer.

This worked for me also. Thanks so much!

FWIW, Tom marked Viking's post as Solved. That was because it turned out is was a Karabiner issue which Viking said to check. At any rate, glad yours is fixed.
