Hi, a few days ago I purchased a Corsair K68 Cherry MX Red mechanical keyboard because my now 6 year old membrain K30 keyboard stopped working. The backspace and spacebar where very worn out already and would stay in the "pressed" position.
Anyways this new keyboard is acting kinda weird and i don't know if the keyboard is messed up or if its just my PC.
So when I plug it in to any USB 2.0 or USB 3.0 ports on my motherboard (Asus Maximus X Hero) the keyboard works perfectly in the BIOS menu however as soon as windows loads up it stops working?The LED lights are all turned on but the keyboard is unresponsive basically I can't even type my password to get in my pc.
Now the only way to get my new keyboard to work in Windows is to actually plug it into the USB 3.1 port. I know that USB 3.1 is backwards compatible with USB 2.0 and 3.0 but why does windows only recognize it when it's plugged into that port and that port only?
If I plug it in to any USB2.0 or 3.0 the Keyboard is literally a potato.
I'm using my new keyboard to type this to you guys now so obviously the keyboard works. I just wanna know why it only works in the conditions I mention above.
Could it be because i'm still rocking Windows 7? Even if this is the case, I find that to be very odd. This keyboard is a simple USB2.0 keyboard according to Amazon. Hell it should even work on Windows XP.
