Hi guys!

This is the first time I have needed help with my Mac. I am a pretty casual user, and don't really know any of the technical stuff, so any explanations, please include steps and etc.

Anyway, my Macs keyboard has not had a working ESC key for a long time. I always assumed it was a broken keyboard, but I recently got a replacement, and same deal.

All other keys seem to work as expected (afaik, see 'casual' above), but it is starting to get annoying, and it seems to be an issue with my computer rather than the keyboard.

Any advice/tips/help?

Hello and welcome.

It sounds like the Esc key has been remapped in the keyboard preferences somehow. Since a new keyboard has the same issue, the it is more likely a software issue versus a hardware one.

-Which model Mac?
-Which version of OS X?
-Which brand/model keyboard?

We can give some steps with that additional information.
