See if you qualify: https://support.apple.com/keyboard-service-program-for-mac-notebooks


To trouble shoot further you can:


—Try a SafeBoot https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201262



Takes noticeable longer to get to the login screen, does a 5 minute disk repair before it fully boots up, and certain system caches get cleared and rebuilt, including dynamic loader cache, etc.

Login and test. Reboot as normal and test. Caches get rebuilt automatically.


In Safe mode third party system modifications and system accelerations are disabled, it removes malware, etc hampering smooth operation, however a reboot will put it back to normal mode.


This test will tell you if third party interference; extensions etc are not loaded in safe boot mode.



—Test issue in another user (or guest user) account https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/set-up-other-users-on-your-mac-mtusr001/mac

This will tell you if it a universal issue or isolated to your user/admin account. 



Uninstall all third party apps that are Cleaners/Optimizers/VPN/Anti-Virus

all known to cause issues on the macOS

If you're having problem with just the number keys on your keyboard, you've probably turned on Mouse Keys by mistake. ... This is a common shortcut for turning mouse keys On and OffOpen System Preferences > Accessibility. Choose Mouse & TrackPad.


If your keyboard has a separate keypad but noNum Lock key, try pressing Shift-Delete. ... If the numeric keypad still doesn't work as you expect, you may have enabled Mouse Keys, which lets you move the pointer with the keypad.
