Symptoms
- Press a key – no response.
- Or a several-second time lag, before any output.
- Press a key (even briefly / lightly) and several characters are output.
When observed
- After some time (hours to days).
- Usually, when the screen is locked or asleep
- Which makes entering the password, functionally impossible.
Equipment
- MacBook Air (M1, 2020)
- Apple Magic Keyboard (on Bluetooth)
- macOS Big Sur (V11.4 (20F71))
Workaround
- Hold Shift and Option, then click the Bluetooth icon in the menubar.
- Yes; challenging when having KB trouble. 😕
- Though at least possible, since these are keys meant to be held down.
- If even this doesn't work, hopefully you have a wired KB handy…
- Select "Reset the Bluetooth module".
- Hmm; maybe this is possible to trigger with no KB use…
- There is no step three 😏
Shoutout to the good folks at OSXDaily.
