It's been a while so I can't remember what I was doing when it stopped working. It is a Redgragon Yaksa keyboard. I've tried almost every USB slot in my mobo, nothing. You might think that the obvious thing would be to download new drivers. Well, when I go to Device manager> Keyboard> Update driver, for every single one, it says they are all up to date. And when I google "Redragon Yaksa drivers", it only comes up for downloads to other Redragon drivers. I have no clue what to do. The lights are on and the keyboard was brand new when it stopped working, so I really don't think it's broken. The reason I am trying to solve this now is because another keyboard of mine, a PSI/2 keyboard, suddenly stopped working after my comp crashed last night, and nothing I do seems to fix that either. I am tired of having my keyboards die on me. Enough of this anarchy and suffering! (I am using an old wireless Logitech to type this.)

if you have windows 10 I've read a lot about anniversary edition f*ng up keyboards. There is some sort of poling setting in the control panel accessibility section, turn it off that seems to be it for many. I have a maddening issue that i've even reinstalled windows and the problem is still here, the keys don't produce the right letter or repeat for no apparent reason, even after a reinstall. The board is not that old and is a quality gigabyte product, I cannot believe this is the board but a complete fresh reinstall should have killed malware or viruses that could have been the issue. I have a corsair strafe that I just exchanged, lucky I got the warranty, and a razer widow ultimate 2016 that just came back as a replacement. The...

I have a corsair strafe that I just exchanged, lucky I got the warranty, and a razer widow ultimate 2016 that just came back as a replacement. The corsair is again having issues just like the one i took back I simply cannot believe it failed again so soon. I had a teensy usb keyboard I was using for the xbox and it typed fine for a bit now it's skipping and repeating too. How can all these keyboards have problems on the same machine...it's mind boggling. I tested the strafe on my spanking new msi gaming laptop and it was fine but screws up on my main desktop. I found a chipset update for my 990fx chipset and installed that and it seemed to be the fix but my strafe is still doing what it did before that was installed. Could this be some sort of overvoltage issue coming out of the usb ports that might be killing the keyboards? So far the razer has been fine for days but I like my strafe much more I feel like I'm slumming it with the razer but it's the only one working right now. I have to get to the bottom of this it's driving me crazy.
