I've had this razer chroma keyboard for years now and had no problems.
Hi,

From yesterday my keyboard has not been typing out onto my monitor and i am having to use the windows on screen keyboard.

The lights still show up and it is showing as connected on my PC.

I have tried:
Updating drivers
Updating razer synapse
Re-installing razer synapse
Switching USB ports on my PC
Restarting PC

ANY help is appreciated. Thanks.

Sounds like the keyboard has reached its 'end of life' and died: However, before you replace it try cleaning it (usually blowing it out with canned air or an air compressor at about 40-60psi). Also, see if you can borrow or use another keyboard and if that keyboard works o.k then the Razer is probably dead. If a different keyboard does NOT work then there are other problems to look at.
Oh yea, you state you have tried other USB ports; good. But, do other USB items work in those ports -- in other words, have you confirmed that the USB ports are working?
