macOS Ventura is messing with my keyboard.

[I WAS the one]

Following the Ventura update to version 13.3.1, certain keys on my keyboard stopped functioning properly, beginning with the number one key. Despite testing other keyboards, the issue persisted. I contacted Apple support, and although they attempted to resolve the problem, they ultimately recommended that I reformat and reinstall the operating system. Since then, everything has been working fine until today when the Option key suddenly stopped working without any apparent cause. No new third-party applications were installed, and there are no active login items. I cannot afford to lose two weeks of productivity by reformatting and reinstalling the OS again. Any assistance in resolving this problem would be greatly appreciated. (I posted this on Reddit also, I need to solve this badly)

Dumb obvious question but can you try a different keyboard

 

[fisherking]

you mention other keyboards; the problem happens with each one??

& which keyboard is this? is it usb, bluetooth...? try creating a test admin account, and see if the problem happens there.

is this an intel or silicon mac, and which mac specifically? if intel, you could try resetting the smc, and the nvram...

more info would help, and you can always call apple again, explain that this is happening again, and see what other ideas they might have.

I just gave up. Erased, reformatted and re installed Ventura from scratch. Everything is working now. The problem is not knowing what happened!

I fixed this by using the minus sign (at the bottom of the window that shows the Input Source selections) to delete the "ABC-QWERTZ" so it automatically only had the "U.S." to default back to which is a standard US QWERTY
