- Since Apple introduced the butterfly mechanism keyboard with the MacBook in 2015, and the MacBook Pro in 2016, a number of users have reported problems with keys repeating or not working.
- My 789 UIO JKL M keys will not work! How to easily resolve the issue. I would also like to say thank you for all the lovely and appreciative comments I have.

New memberMac wired keyboard not working with new iMac.
Well that's not exactly true, it works through a 4 port USB hub. This is a new style Apple Keyboard with Numeric Keypad - English (USA). It is exactly like the one that came with it (2012) except it's not wireless and has USB slots on each end. I need the number keys and USB ports. $49.00 at the apple store. This problem seemed to start after the power went out. Keyboard would not work on iMac. Moved wired keyboard to Mac mini, worked fine. I unplugged all USB items, shut down computer and unplugged power plug for 15 seconds. Sometimes I may have held in the power button when unplugged for several seconds. These things worked a few more times and then that stopped working eventually. Later I tried Resetting the Parameter RAM. That did not solve the problem.
Strangely enough I have my old PC keyboard and that always works with my iMac.
The wired mac keyboard always works with my Mac mini. It just will not work reliably with my iMac, new in 2012 running Snow leopard. Can't Apple make a keyboard that works with their computers? I am using the wired keyboard now through a simple unpowered 4 port hub but I can't use the USB ports in the keyboard. Very frustrating.
