Windows 10: Hyper X Alloy Keyboard USB not detectable

This is absolutely the most annoying problem I've had to date. I've had this keyboard for about a year and a half now. I've never spilt water on it, never dropped it, and I've had ZERO issues. Now all of a sudden my keyboards USB cable can't connect. Now this isn't a problem with the USB cable as the keyboard works in other devices and when I plug my mouse into the keyboard my mouse will work, but the keyboard still doesn't. I know the usb port isn't the issue, because other devices work perfectly fine.. I've reinstalled the drivers, I've messed with the power settings, I've restarted windows. I've done literally everything every website and forum is telling me to do and for the life of me I cannot get my keyboard to connect. This keyboard does not have drivers of its own I need to install too. I've never had a problem until two days ago when it just disconnected out of nowhere.Luckily, I could reconnect it then, but now it just sits here, dormant, not connecting, forcing me to use the on screen keyboard. Any help would be amazing as this issue makes zero sense and for it to pop up now all of sudden is beyond me. I would much rather not go out and buy a new keyboard as this is most obviously isn't an issue with my keyboard.
