Guys, some of the keys from my magic keyboard 2 just stop working from nowhere. No liquid splash or anything. I have a little more than a year with this so no garante here.

Last month it happens with the delete key so i calle the apple guys, they just suggest to connect the keyboard with lighting cable and the problem disappear. I try this but it doesn't solve anything.

I have update my iMac to high sierra, nothing

I try to pair with my macbook air, still nothing

what can i do? i don't think is a hardware problem because i reeeaaaaaally take care of my computer, i don't have a lot of money to buy a new one every two years and i work with this

will be amazing if you can help me

56

-/

ty

=[

gh

bn

For example, when I press '5', it produces '56', and the same when I press '6'. It too produces '56'. Same for the whole list above.

Note too the apparent pattern down the keyboard with the '56', 'ty', 'gh', and 'bn' combos.

I've checked battery level. It's nearly full charge. I've tried using while plugged in and charging. I've tried gently lifting affected keys and blowing out any possible dust, particles, etc. None of this has helped.

Before this happened, I were cleaning it, and claped it a little bit, then it can not connected via bluetooth, usb is fine.

I wonder if the wire between battery and board is disconnected or something.

Is anyone knows what is going on ? Do I need to tear it down ?

TL;DR - Can I buy a set of MBP keys and swap them out on my Magic Keyboard 2 (Wirelesss with rechargeable battery version). This Magic Keyboard seems to be the exact same type of mechanism as my 16" MBP.

Any idea if these are fixable on my own or do I need to take it to the apple store. Also, did anyone have experience with the apple store on fixing the magic keyboard 2?

Here's the situation:

When I press either the return/enter key or the P key on my Magic Keyboard, the keyboard/computer registers both keys as being pressed at once; they are "paired", if you will. This has been verified with the "Show keyboard viewer" feature enabled. Very bizarre. I've tried unpairing and pairing again multiple times, to no avail. It continues to happen even when connected to my MBP through the lightning cable and bluetooth turned off.

The portentous background to this is that I'd recently applied some rubbing alcohol to two keys on the other side of the keyboard that were sticking, though I did manage to get mixed up a few times and likely got some isopropyl underneath the keys in question as well. So I'm guessing that it's related, but it's still weird as !&&*!

Anyone got any ideas?

I read in some Magic Keyboard tests that it does not actually need Bluetooth to work. If you just plug the lighting/USB cable to your Mac and turn off Bluetooth, it works.

I was wondering if the same was possible with a PC not equipped with Bluetooth, i.e. is the Magic Keyboard working when plugged with the cable into a PC.

Thanks in advance !

I spilt lemonade on my keyboard - luckily all the keys still worked but they were sticky. I decided to remove the keys, clean the keys with water and the switches with alcohol. The small letter keys are easy to remove and replace, but the larger keys (command, control etc) with the metal bars, I just can’t seem to get back on - when I try the keys get stuck all the way down. Has anyone got any tips on how to reapply these keys?

Many thanks in advance :D

Context: I spilt water on it , and I couldn't find out how to get the water out of there effectively. So i just removed the keycaps and now I can't put them back.

The method I used to remove the keycaps was stupidly crude. I used a earwax scoop as a lever to forcefully pull the keycaps out of their sockets .

I'm using the 1st generation magic keyboard and magic mouse on a 2010 iMac OS X Yosemite 10.10.5 There are no other bluetooth devices connected.

I'd like to purchase a new keyboard as a last resort considering I just acquired $36 worth of batteries...

Do you know what could it be? No matter what I do with a screwdriver it doesn't work. The DOWN key works when I slightly press it.

Is there any chance of fixing it, or I better keep it as a keycap donor for identical keyboards?

⟐ Commented 3월 02, 2024 at 9:51 GMT-7

Trying reset the pairing process by disconnect the keyboard, however, since then the keyboard is not discoverable as a bluetooth device, whether one this or other Mac.

However, connecting directly with lightning cable allow it to be able to use the keyboard.

Just that it still not appear in the bluetooth device no matter connecting with cable or not.

Tried restart both Mac and keyboard.

So currently I've no way, but connect the keyboard with lightning cable whenever I need to use it, and it become troublesome and occupy one of my port.

Anyone solution? Appreciate the help.
