What exactly does "well" mean? Certain keys not working? All keys not working? Lag in character appearing on screen? Multiple characters for a single press? Exactly what?


Does it operate properly with an external keyboard?


Try a Restart.

If that does nothing, try a Start up in Safe Mode. If that works let it run for 10 minutes or so to complete tasks.

If Safe Mode does nothing then Apple for repair is likely next step.
