Config not working / recognize MacBook Air 2020 M1

[DanielRivasMD]

Just got the machine described. I tried migrated my config, which is working on two other machines (MacBook Pro Intel & MiniMac M1). I have reinstalled several times (homebrew & direct download, latest and previous version). I also followed the documentation to set it up and a minimal config. No success so far. Any ideas as to where could be going wrong?

If the syntax in karabiner.json is incorrect, it will cause a read error and fail to be recognized.
Have you checked the error logs?
https://karabiner-elements.pqrs.org/docs/manual/operation/log/

Amm I have a configuration that works on the other machines. Moreover, the minimal config I was pointing out was setup through the GUI. Should I paste the log, the config, some other info needed?
