I been looking everywhere for a fix and you are the only one who managed to figure it out. One of stupid solution which actually worked.
In my case d,f,g,h,j,k,l stoped working after like 20 clicks they responded. S, and adding again it fixed. I believe this bug caused because of the latest apple update somehow i not installed it for long time This is such a bizarre problem, but thank you very much for a quick fix! You truly are a genius! This fix worked perfectly for me after trying several of the other ones in various threads.
Was just getting ready to take my MBP apart to try the lifted cable fix I found on one of them. No need now, many thanks! Thanks for the help. I cant use my top row of keys q-o. Your solution didnt work…. Thanks for your feedback. Its driving me nuts because i use numbers a lot. Please help me! Oh my god. I was totally freaking out about how much it would cost to fix my keyboard. Thank you so much!! Went into a panic, then searched and found this. Problem solved. Computers are weird. People are good. Thank you! Some letters are not working as of last night. When you go into System Preferences, do you have a Keyboard area?
If so, can you tell me what options are available to you?
Ran across this page, and BOOM, problem solved. Thanks for sharing this fix!! You need to work for Apple! Comments like yours brighten our day, especially on a rainy English afternoon like today. My A,S,D keys suddenly stopped working when I was in college. It took me hours to write my papers because I had to stop and click on the keyboard viewer.
In word on my mac in word delete key doesn't work or space - Microsoft Community
After I graduated college, my keys decided to work again. I was aggravated but joyous at the same time. Then a couple of months later it stopped again. I stumbled onto your blog and did what you did but I added British instead. Did not work.

I deleted U. S, again did not work. Added U. It works! Thanks for ths. Doing it once did nothing. This fix worked for me, but after I restarted my Macbook Air, the problem is back. So I will try other solutions, will post here if I find anything. Also, very interesting to know about the external keyboard — thanks for raising this point. Thank you so much for posting this. I restarted to fix and had the horrible realization that my password contained some of the broken keys.

I was afraid it was a hardware problem and I would have to get a new laptop. Do you know by chance, the root cause of his issue? Glad it worked for you! It seems like an odd software bug, but no idea as yet what causes the issue. I had to put several keyboards in and it was finally the Irish one that did it! I had 2 identical keyboards, only one suddenly developed the symptoms.
How to fix it i am in real trouble.
