Is there any way to reinitialize an external third party USB keyboard? I hit a wrong key after MACOS detected the new keyboard hardware. Now, my keymapping is not correct.



I need to remove or reinitialize it (repeating the hardware detection).



Any ideas?

Try going to System Preferences -> Keyboard and click the "Change Keyboard Type..." button in the lower left corner. This should restart the keyboard type detection.

  • @berlin104 Hm, strange. For me it opens a new window with the Keyboard Setup Assistant and lets me continue to setup the keyboard again. Might it be that the window pops up underneath another or off screen?

  • Jap. That's really strange... I don't see this button always. Seems that it appears random.
