What to Try:

A. Reset the SMC and your NVRAM:

Sometimes when changes are made to the system(i.e. updates), system configurations (i.e. for the keyboard) become manipulated, technically. So, reset the SMC and NVRAM.

B. Use an External Keyboard:

An external keyboard may be how to solve this.

Shutdown: the Mac
Unplug: everything
Wait: 30 seconds
Plug in: the keyboard and other items
Try this once one.

C. Adapter:

You may need an adapter for this, if you do not have Bluetooth enabled, or if you do not have USB-A plug. This is an example of the adapter of sorts to use: USB-C to USB Adapter - Apple. Note that it does not have to be Apple brand. But for trustworthiness, going brand-for-brand is how one may going about choosing which to get.
