(Forgive me if this is the wrong place to put this, I’m new here)

So my magic keyboard was working fine on my computer until an hour ago. It won’t type ‘U, I, O, J, K, L, M, 7, 8, 9, .’ I have connected it to my iPad and it worked perfectly.
Doesn’t help that two days ago, my mouse wasn’t preforming as well as it normally does. I felt like I had to drag it constantly across the pad to get it to where I wanted it the cursed to go. It also kept enlarging the curser.
And today, I couldn’t log into my computer, it wouldn’t accept my password and I had to shut the computer down.

I don’t really know what to do, maybe it’s end of the mouse and keyboard, or maybe it’s more sinister. I don’t know. If anyone could help me that would be great

Hello and welcome.

Sounds like Mouse Keys became activated.

 > System Preferences... > Accessibility > Pointer Control > Alternate Control Methods > Enable Mouse Keys

Uncheck that if it is checked and the keyboard should function normally.

Let us know.
