TinyCorePure64 14.0 Mouse and Keyboard Not Working on Macbook Pro
curaga:
i2c is an internal device technology/communication bus. Your Dell's mouse is an i2c device apparently, which is fairly rare.
Apple on the other hand does custom everything, needing Apple-specific drivers usually. It's possible we don't have something enabled in the kernel for your MBP.

Thanks for the explanation Curaga.
Btw, when i said "mouse", what i actually meant was the "touchpad". Sorry for that.

I booted other live distro on the MBP and keyboard/touchpad worked.
Don't you think there's a generic/common driver for this?
Juanito:
You can check which drivers are being loaded on the other distro using "lsmod" and "dmesg" and compare with tinycore to see what's missing.

That's a great idea Juanito. Thanks.
Since I don't have usb-c keyboard yet for Tinycore,
I would just paste outputs from the other distro with working keyboard and touchpad here.
Just incase anyone can spot something before I can paste the comparison.

This:
--- Code: ---[ 71.363403] input: Apple SPI Keyboard as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1e.3/pxa2xx-spi.5/spi_master/spi2/spi-APP000D:00/input/input5
[ 71.365129] input: Apple SPI Touchpad as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1e.3/pxa2xx-spi.5/spi_master/spi2/spi-APP000D:00/input/input6
[ 71.367448] applespi spi-APP000D:00: modeswitch done.
--- End code ---
..would tend to indicate you need to look at the spi_pxa2xx_platform and applespi divers
