Keyboard not working

My keyboard isn’t working on my MacBook Air, due to water damage, making it basically useless to me. The screen works, it charges, and other than the keyboard issue everything’s fine. I’ve read to just buy a wireless key board plus mouse, but I’m worried if I do that I won’t be able to connect it because my keyboard doesn’t work. What should I do?

Macbook Keyboard not working sometimes. So I was gifted a Macbook Air a few months ago (around January 2020). It was working fine until around May when I put my screen down as usual when I go to have small breaks, but when I came back, I lifted my screen and logged in via Touch ID. Then here comes the issue. It isn't responding. The display is fine, the keyboard and trackpad arent't - I connected my bluetooth mouse and that didn't work either, though it did come up with the "connected" symbol. Then the pop-up came saying that there wasn't a wireless keyboard connected, which makes no sense as this only happens sometimes when I wake my computer up. Come June, I have to restart my entire laptop just to get the keyboard and mouse working, losing all of my files I worked on. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Mac Keyboard Broken Hello, my keyboard is having some problem. My keyboard was attached with iMac 27 Mid 2011. The problem is that it sometimes it automatically enters Lunchpad and leaves Lunchpad quickly without pressing the shortcut or clicking at the Lunchpad icon. The second problem of it is that when you press a key, it inputs 2 keys. For example, if you press 2, it inputs "23"; if you press 3, it inputs "23". The room conditions are fine for the keyboard, and I'd never broke or pour water on the keyboard, it still works fine yesterday :/ Any solutions?

You should get the device repaired. Here's a link to starting a repair case: Mac Repair - Official Apple Support

The device will eventually fail due to the water damage.
