My MacBook Pro internal keyboard frequently stops working after an external USB keyboard has been plugged into it. I have to do a hard reboot to recover (which I unfortunately need to do every time I transition from work to home). Anybody have any suggestions on how to get around this?

Currently OSX Yosemite 10.10.5 is installed.

Similar to this problem: How do I get my mac to re-scan for devices? -> Keyboard stops working after usb hub/dock with keyboard/mouse connected

  • There may be a firmware update for your Mac and or external keyboard. Have you checked for updates via the App Store? What model is your MacBook Pro? (Go to  > About this Mac) I.e.: MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2013) Also, what brand is your USB keyboard? Apple, Logitec, etc.? Cheers and welcome to Ask Different! – bjbk Nov 07 '15 at 03:47
  • Model: MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013). Apple Keyboard. No firmware updates are waiting in the App Store. Thanks! – Jen Nov 08 '15 at 06:06
  • I have exactly the same problem; did you get anywhere with it? – Bobby Jack Apr 25 '16 at 22:17
