(This question is NOT about Macbook Pro keyboards. It is about an Apple Wireless Keyboard)

I'm using an old Apple Wireless Keyboard (can't find model number - it's the white and clear plastic model).

Yesterday the SHIFT-P (capital 'P') functionality suddenly stopped working. I didn't spill anything or otherwise mess with the keyboard (that I am aware of).

The "p" key works fine but in order to type a capital 'P', I need to set the caps lock. I looked at the 'keyboard viewer' and SHIFT-P doesn't trigger an event. No other keys appear to be affected.

Anyone seen this before?

UPDATE ok, so it's the left SHIFT key which is failing with the letter "P" but the right SHIFT key works fine with it. Weird. I understand total hardware failure but why would the left SHIFT key only fail with the letter "P"?

(the irony here: I am using the wireless keyboard because my MacBook Pro laptop battery swelled up and knocked out the Y, U, I, O keys. I replaced the battery but that didn't fix the keyboard issue)

  • It’s a canonical question about all keyboards - external keyboards are addressed in the question/answer. This question is no different from the scenarios presented. – Allan May 22 '19 at 02:51
