    This sounds exactly like your problem: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=269796

    It’s quite a lot of detailed technology talk, which I don’t expect you to understand. The main takeaway should be this:

    So the problem is [temporarily] solved by running: rmmod hid_apple

    This command unloads a driver that’s potentially interfering here. The driver will be loaded again on next reboot.
    Which is useful, because you can just try it out and if it doesn’t work (or if it breaks something), you can just do a reboot and everything is back to normal.

    You will need admin/root permissions to run this command, so the real command you need to run is: sudo rmmod hid_apple
    It will ask you for your login password to confirm running the command.

    If that does fix it, then we can look into making it permanent.
