Hello! I’ve had a problem for a while and I’m officially stuck and need help. So basically i brought a new Raspberry Pi 4B and ive been trying to use it, i am able to access it using VNC Viewer on my laptop but the problem is for some reason, i am unable to type on the Raspbery Pi through my laptop (When i press any keys it doesnt show up on the raspberry pi) and i have no idea why.
Im able to click and move the mouse on my laptop around on the pi just fine but for some reason my keys dont show up. If i connect an external keyboard directly to the pi and type it shows up on the viewer. I’d be grateful to have some help on this issue cause it’s driving me insane, my initial thoughts were that i had it on Read only but thats not the issue and on the raspberry pi i dont think theres anything that blocks the keyboard input but then again i might have missed something since i am new to the pi. Also there could be sometihng on my laptop thats blocking the keyboard input going to the raspberry pi as well, im honestly not sure.
Im sorry if theres barely any information about the problem here, i am quite new so I’d greatly appreciate some advice or help on this issue, also if youd like me to give any other information just let me know![:)]( "Smile")
