Apple Magic Keyboard CAPS Lock Unresponsiveness and Solution ?

[marcusalwayswins]

Hi Guys,

I use a Mac Mini with the Apple Magic Keyboard. I’ve noticed that the Caps Lock key is unresponsive. I read a little about this issue online and also spoke to Apple Support. Apple says this is a built-in feature to prevent spelling mistakes. BUt you kmno what this is damn annoying because I keep typing further thinking I’ve pressed Caps Lock, but it doesn’t type in CAPS. I found two scripts that seem to fix this problem. One script is

1. hidutil property --set '{"CapsLockDelayOverride":0}'

and the other is

2. hidutil property --set '{"CapsLockDelayOverride":10}'

Which script should I use? Which one is more accurate and eliminates the Caps Lock unresponsiveness?

Do I also need to install the CapsLockNoDelay app? Because I have installed that also on my Mac Mini.

When you press the Caps Lock, is the indicator light on the keyboard turning on? Also, an icon comes up in Sonoma that looks like this:

I'm a bit unclear about what this "built-in feature" is, but on the occasions when I've used Caps Lock, the keyboard light comes on and the little indicator icon pops up and all works as it should.

I don't know how you don't know this? or why don't you know this? But it is a known fact that Apple Makes its Keyboard with a slight delay in the Keys especially in the Caps Lock key so that it is not accidentally pressed.
