Hi, I'v been searching now for over two weeks for an answer and have asked in multiple forums already, so I thought I'd give the troubleshooting another shot and try my luck here.
My Keyboard is acting extremely strange once I open Dolphin.
In case you're not familiar with it, Dolphin is a Nintendo WII / GameCube emulator that uses DirectX APIs (DX11 and 12).
I'm using a Sharkoon Skiller Pro+ Keyboard and a Drakonia Black Mouse.
100% of the time after I open Dolphin, the Keyboard-input I do on the Sharkoon gets mapped wrong! I've done a lot of tests, the problem can be reproduced and is consistent, however, the way the keys get 'remapped' is not. Sometimes pressing the H key opens Chrome Help (as if you would press F1 within Chrome), next time it opens Windows Shell etc. Weird stuff like that. What I have to do then is to open the software the Keyboard came with and restore factory settings, then I can load my preferred profile into the keyboard and it will work within any other application until I open the Dolphin software.
-I have all the latest Windows updates and drivers installed.
-I have tried several other USB ports and the problem still persists.
-I have tried my old Keyboard, the Logitech K120: The problem does not occur.
-So far it has only happened after opening Dolphin.
-The incorrect Keymapping will carry over to another PC. After I open Dolphin, the keys get mapped incorrectly. I unplug it and plug it into another computer: Keys are being mapped wrong. So it must be somehow internally.
Is there anyone who can think of what's causing it? It's driving me crazy and I don't want to return the Keyboard as a faulty unit when it is in fact a software issue that's affecting hardware.
Thank you for your help!
