Wiped my keyboard with a damp cloth and now my macbook pro 2017 keyboard cannot type on the login screen

Question

My macbook pro 2017 was working fine and I decided to wipe it with a damp cloth and now it wont work on the login screen. But I went to recovery mode terminal and all the keys work fine there. I must have turned on some setting that disabled my keyboard while wiping it. What could I have done wrong?

Answer 1

For my issue it was due to a speck of dust that got stuck in the command key. This was the reason why it wouldn't type in the login box but in the terminal.
