Apple Magic KeYboard is tYping the wrong characters

I have the original Magic Keyboard, however, when I hit the shift key, it types Y. Also, when I select the letter Y it only allows me to do a capital letter. I have tried debugging and resetting the keyboard, I have also tried to change the input source.

Also, when I press the return key it types a /. Thanks

Can you reset the keyboard in System Preferences>Keyboard? I don't have a "Magic Keyboard", only an older "Apple Wireless Keyboard". https://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1738/en_US/magic-keyboard-userguid e.pdf

Make sure that your keyboard is connected. Then shift-option-click the Bluetooth icon in your menu bar, scroll down to the keyboard in question, and click "Factory Reset". This should reset your keyboard to brand new.


Thanks go to user Sceptre
