After upgrading to 12.6, forward delete key on bluetooth keyboard no longer works

Hello,

I upgraded my MacBook Pro to Monetary 12.6 this morning, but have found the forward delete key on my wireless Logitech keyboard no longer works. I use this feature all the time while coding and was wondering how I can re-enable it?

Prior to updating, I never had to set anything up for it. I connected the keyboard via bluetooth and it immediately worked. Now it is unresponsive. I checked in 'System Preferences -> Keyboard -> Input Sources' and see the location of the del key is greyed out. I hadn't checked this before now, so I don't know if it was or wasn't prior to the update.

Thanks for the help!

Hello brennen50,

For help with a third-party keyboard you can double-check your settings with the steps found in the article here: If your Mac doesn’t respond to key presses - Apple Support

As you've tested the input sources and see the key is greyed out, you may want to test disconnecting and reconnecting.

Should the issue continue, reach out to the manufacture to check for any firmware updates. Contact a third-party vendor - Apple Support

Cheers.
