Upgrading from a late 2014 iMac (can't believe it's been so long since an upgrade!) and was really confused when my normal wired apple keyboard wasn't recognized. Not even showing up at all in System Information. (The one with silver body, white keys, like the current keyboards but wired and no touch ID).
Did lots of testing. An even older apple keyboard was recognized (PowerMac G5 era? clear case and more mechanical white keys). A pc keyboard was recognized. Finally found an identical wired keyboard to my iMac I had stored away and it WAS recognized.
This is what is showing in System Information for the keyboard that is recognized. The one that doesn't show up on the Studio, shows on my iMac as the same except "Apple Keyboard" version is "0.74" instead of "0.71". Any ideas why the 0.74 one wouldn't work? It's less used and cleaner so I'd preferably continue to use it with my Studio.
Edit: I guess most likely just a finicky USB connector on the keyboard. Marking thread as resolved.
