You need to update macOS. The latest keyboards rely upon new infrastructure for their 'soft key' functionality, in part, that's only available in later versions of the operating system.
I get calls on issues like this from my brother and one of my friends all the time. There's no fixing some of these issues without getting everything to either current or to the last, most recent version of the operating system that will install on a given machine. It's one of the reasons I always keep my computer's operating system up to date, and have virtually no issues to speak of.
