You superstar! My old Mac was switched off for ages and neither keyboard or mouse would connect. Plugged both into the Mac, and away they go! Thank you so much!
Gary, you are a *genius* It was the 'mouse key toggle' that had me losing my MIND! Thank you so much for your excellent tutorial as always.
Great video. I was about to give up on fixing my keyboard; And than I came across this video. The mouse pointer control feature was on preventing proper functioning. After turning off, everything changed. I got my keyboard back to work. THANK YOU.
Hey Gary thanks for sharing this! When I was a new MAC user a few years ago, I turned on Mouse keys! Don’t know how I did it! I figured that it was something I did, and sure enough it was! How ever I could not sign on to my MAC because my pass word was in the key arrangement! Had to troubleshoot on my phone via internet!! A great lesson!! 😊
Thank you! 2 days frustration, I hour Apple support - next stop Apple Store for service. Then your video - back up and running in 8 minutes. Tears in my eyes, thank you ❤
Omg the mouse key was turned on some how. I was freaking out, I thought my keyboard was broken. This is the only video here on UA-cam that actually explains how to fix it. Thank you soooooo much.
This video is of incredible value. Thanks so much. Your teaching ability is phenomenal
GREAT ADVICE!! ONE OF THE VERY BEST VIDEO'S I'VE SEEN IN A VERY LONG TIME. Funny bc my issue was the cap lock stopped working. I called and was on the phone with apple for 3.5 hours. But they didn't help me one bit. I just had this gut feeling that this happened when a auto update was done in the middle of the night. So I opted to sit it out and wait and wa-la after about a good month there was a newer update. So I did do that update and now the cap lock works perfectly. Go figure!
Thanks alot, didn’t realise one of the settings led the keyboard to behave differently and not responding. Changed the settings and voila it started working ❤
Just a thank you! I like others thought the MacBook had a defect. Luckily I saw your video first and solved the problem quickly. Excellent tutorial ❤
I was nervous and must have hit the option key five times. This video saved me thousands of dollars. Last time my number pad stopped working I threw my whole mac out the window for real.
Good video Gary. Thanks. Somehow I had Mouse Keys and Sticky Keys turned on when I first rebooted after updating MacOS yesterday. Didn’t have an external usb keyboard handy but did get about 5 secs after rebooting to enter my “mouse keys”. Took a couple of goes but got there. The “in MacOS” options of pressing the Option Key 5 times did not work, nor did Shift 5 times, nor did Option Command F5. Almost had to go back to the Apple Store or to Erase All Content and start afresh. Luckily your video pointed me in the right direction of things to try. Many thanks. Keep up the good work. ❤
Just another EXCELLENT Tutorial on keyboard problems. Gary, I'm glad you didn't just suggest to throw away the keyboard ab go buy a new one. That solution is always the easiest in our disposable culture.
Especially when you can get a used keyboard for $10 at a thrift store.
Excellent video today! Very useful and informative! Thank you, Gary! 👏🏻❤️
You saved me! Thank you so much for this video, I cleaned and restarted my mac and it’s perfect!
Thank you!! for the "Mouse Key" explanation. You saved me another trip to the Apple store! I'm still curious as to how the pointer control got turned on , but I'm so glad for the fix.
OMG, this sticky keys thing is awesome. Never heard about it before, but definitely going to use it. Thanks Gary for pointing out another cool feature :)
Thank you so so so much, sir. This really helped me. I was literally so much stressed that I messed up with my laptop, but just because of you now, I am okay. Thank you so much again.
You gained a trustworthy subscriber
2017 MacPro 17" Laptop, My "Return" keys were not working on both the internal & wireless external apple keyboards. I watched the whole video, nothing so far until I tried reseting the NVRAM - Now All return keys work!!! 😁 Thank you
Thanks Garry... You fix the problem straight away mate!👍
I have an odd one which seemed to have started after a Ventura upgrade. When I startup the first 4 or so letters I type don't show. But everything from then on is fine. Like the keyboard is slow connecting.
OMG - YOU JUST SAVED ME TWO DAYS OF HEADACHES!!!
Thank you so much, the mouse key was the problem and you saved me money and stress. I'm grateful
2.05 minutes in and you've solved the issue. Thanks. You're a legend.
Excellent content. Most respected and trusted source of info. Thanks, man.
You are awesome it was due to mouse key in my macbook too.. your content helped me thankyou so much man
Thank you i was working on my keyboard setting and got it bad but with your video i fixed it so easy
I sure appreciated finding out how to fix my keyboard, when it did not show various letters, like a, k I, o, u, etc. I got that mouse keys option turned off, though I never turned it on that I recall. Thanks so much!
Sir I owe you a big one really I was wondering now what to do and then I saw your video it really works.... Genuinely you have earned a big respect from me...
Thanks Gary. You solved my MAC problem again!! You rock?🤘🏽
Thanks very much, Gary, for this fascinating video! Very interesting and good to know.
this is great! I just fixed a previous issue logging in because the A key stopped working and then noticed that the languages on the keyboard were set improperly by default. After changing it, I thought nothing of it because it's a kids laptop. Came up with a work around and was sure that I was going to have to replace the keyboard. Opened it up the Am to test it and the A key was working! I was sure the whole keyboard was shorting out🤣🤐. Then after watching your video i realized it was the Language that was making the A key invalid😅. Thank for the visual walk through it definitely saved me $200.
such a genuine tutorial, thank you for providing the easiest solution.
Thanks brother. For me it was the pointer control (mouse keys) I had turned it on. Thank you so much
What an amazing knowledgeable session 🙏🙏🙏. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us✌
O thought you were going to say to turn off and on, but I could fix the problem with your FIRST solution. I love you!
very rich! and very well articulad. Tons of new info here to learn!
Many Thanks. You have saved me a journey to the Apple shop. Your instruction are clear and easy to follow. Many Thanks.
Thank you sir - My friends macbookair kept typing symbols so it wouldnt let you type the password - Changing the input languages with no results - ending up using a usb plug in keyboard to type the password - once in it kept typing symbols - after watching this, turned out that I had to click 'ON' "Sticky Keys" After a million videos and websites - This video actually had me try that and BAM! worked.. Thank you Again, And thumbs up... Im still a widows man - I personally do not like apple products - They make stuff way more complicated than it has to be
Thanks so much, great and simply explained info.!
Thank you so much bro, this video has really helped me... Jah Bless
Thank You Sir! Very helpful Video, Although my problem of my keyboard volume, brightness and the whole row isn't working. I am also not seeing the option for the f1,f2 in keyboard like your video.

Welldone, you solved my problem! Thank you!
omg! Thank you so much! I literally have 4 keypads that I thought were broken. I just couldn't understand how they could all "break' the same way. 'mouse key toggle' was the answer. And all these years I was just buying a new keyboard 🤪😂. thank goodness I didn't just just recycle them thinking they were useless.
DONE! incredible useful UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!!!! THANNK YOU TAHNK YOU TAHNK YOU
Thank U Man.
I Was almost going to go for a service. But You just saved my money
The first solution worked immediately. Thank you!
On upgrading to Ventura , few alphabets on the keyboard are not working. I hope your solutions here will fix it. Thanks
Wow thank you!!! You just save me from buying a new one!... I got this problem on my keyboard recently, i was wondering what had happened why the letters UIOP corners doesn't work. I didn't even know this side of pointer control exists!😅 😅😅
Thank you very very much, I was on the verge of buying a new keyboard, where that first solution worked, the mouse thing
Thank you for showing me how to change modifier keys. I'm temporarily using a windows keyboard that was driving me nuts! Now it acts like a Mac keyboard. Thank You.
You solved my problem in about 10 seconds (mouse keys on by accident so no O,P,L etc keys) Thank you!
Thank you so much !!!
You're a lifesaver*, I didn't know what to do with my keyboard. I only have 2 keys that suddenly stopped working (the a and the s), which I use a lot. At first I thought it was because of the build-up of debris underneath the keys but after trying all the different methods you showed, I came to the conclusion that it's most likely a hardware issue. It's possible that I didn't follow the cleaning tutorial from the website correctly, but either way I will have to call Apple support. Thanks for the very informative video!
Mouse keys are real guys 😭😭 I've been struggling for years, watched plenty of videos and never did they mention mouse keys, I got a new keyboard the old mini one with the batteries and got used to it hid my magic keyboard after that till i got a new mac and the problem came up again. Anyways all is set and fixed now. This was an appreciation comment 🙌🙏 didn't even finish the video 😂 but appreciate it so much
Gary, thanks for the quick fix on the keyboard - "Mouse Keys" Kudo's, thanks again.
Thank you so much! "mouse keys" was checked for me causing some keys on my keyboard to stop working! It's fixed now! 🙏🏼

Hello, thanks for nice guidance. My magic keyboard type I & o same time after pressing I or o key. Any solution. Please suggest.
Have you tried everything in this video? Not sure what could be causing this problem then. I'd try calling Apple Support and see what they can figure out.
I solved my missing keys issue. Good Video , Thanks alot Arif Maqsood from Lahore, Pakistan
Coincidentally this has just happened to me, I had to go through a long and laborious task to get back in, Wish i had known at the time it was a faulty keyboard. Ive now got a Macally 104 key with USB connection and loving it👍
