Are you having trouble resetting the keyboard on your Macbook Pro? Don’t worry, this guide will help you reset the keyboard in no time.
The Macbook Pro is a powerful machine that comes with a wide range of features and options. But it can sometimes be difficult to configure certain settings, like the keyboard settings. If you need to reset the default settings of your Macbook Pro’s keyboard, there are several simple steps to follow.
First, you’ll need to hold down the Command and R keys on your keyboard. Then, turn on your Macbook Pro and let go when the Apple logo appears on the screen. Next, from the menu bar at the top of your screen, click on the Apple icon and then select System Preferences. After that, select Keyboard from the list of options and then click on Modifier Keys. Once there, click on Restore Defaults to reset all functions associated with modifier keys like Caps Lock, Option, and Command keys.
If this doesn’t work or if you need to choose a different layout for your language such as Colemak or Dvorak instead of English QWERTY layout, then you’ll need to go through a few extra steps. To do this, go back to System Preferences and then open Keyboard again. This time select Input Sources and then click on the “+” icon at the bottom-left corner of your screen. Then choose your desired language from the list (like English) and input method (such as Colemak or Dvorak). When done, hit Add button at the bottom-right corner of your screen.
Finally, if none of these methods help resolve your issue then it’s likely that either something is wrong with your USB port or there is an issue with your Macbook Pro itself that needs resolving by an Apple Authorized Service Provider. Check if it’s an issue with the USB port disconnecting and reconnecting the keyboard into another USB port or try connecting it to another Mac altogether may help resolve this problem temporarily until more permanent measures are taken such as contacting Apple for repair service if needed.
We hope this guide helped you learn how to reset keyboard settings on your Macbook Pro in no time!

Troubleshooting Keyboard Issues on MacBook Pro
The first step to fixing the issue of your keyboard typing wrong characters on a MacBook Pro is to identify which keyboard layout is currently set. To do this, go to the Apple Menu, then select System Preferences, then Keyboard. Next, select Input Sources and check which keyboard layout is listed. If it is not the correct one, click on the ‘+’ icon and select the correct language (e.g. English), then choose the correct layout (e.g. QWERTY). Once you have selected this, click ‘Add’.
If this does not fix the issue, try restarting your MacBook Pro by selecting ‘Restart…’ from the Apple Menu or pressing down Control + Command + Eject/Power button simultaneously until you hear a beep or two. This will restart your computer and should reset your keyboard configuration back to its default settings.
If these steps do not work, you may need to repair or replace your keyboard if it has any physical damage or if there are any internal issues with it that are causing it to type incorrectly.
