So I recently purchased a Corsair Raptor K30 keyboard from Newegg.com. The issue I'm having is sometimes when I start my computer, the keyboard doesn't respond. The red LED's are on but nothing happens when I press a key. I've tried unplugging than replugging it. I've tried using a differtent USB port. These work for a while, but not for long.

Does anyone know what to do about this?

Is windows recognizing a keyboard is plugged in?

I'm thinking its a hardware issue, if you can test it on a laptop or other pc I would. You could also test with a game console in the web browser/store. I did see someone who had trouble with a new keyboard that was somewhat similar. Strangely enough his problem was due to usb powered LED lights that he had on his desk conflicting with it somehow (as strange as that sounds). It may not do anything, but try it without any other USB devices connected just to see if there is some sort of a conflict.

I don't think it's USB interference issue. My USB ports are occupied by my keyboard, mouse, and a WiFi reciever. I've tried using it on my PS3's web browser and it only types in the A, D, C, and B keys.
