Hi Loz, The first thing I did when I found it was not working was try other USB ports and then another computer. I liked your idea of dropping it and did a few times but it has made no difference. The port in the 7 port USB hub it was plugged into has also failed the port above and below it are still ok. Something electronic has shorted somewhere I suspect. I have found another for $60 on eBay, someone has obtained a lot of them and is selling them off. Coming on a PO camel from Queensland I will have to be patient. My 27-inch iMac is a late 2015 model running OS 10.15.7 Cheers Brian > On 30 Nov 2023, at 9:50 am, Lorenzo Bordoni via WAMUG <wa...@lists.wamug.org.au> wrote: > > Hi Brian, > > > I know the Apple USB Keyboard and they are such a favourite.
