    Is it possible for a wireless keyboard to contain a virus?


    I've downloaded an ISO file and "mounted" it but it only kept showing gray screen and loading. I restarted my laptop, however upon restart, my wireless keyboard is now not working. Is it possible that the ISO file contained a virus and attacked my wireless keyboard? What should I do to remove the virus?

    :)

  2. Number pad that comes with Sculpt wireless keyboard.

    Hi,

    This problem may occur due to an outdated or corrupted device driver. For us to provide the best resolution possible, we'll be needing additional information:

    • Is the number pad device visible on Device Manager?
    • Is the wireless keyboard working on your computer?

    Meanwhile, we suggest following the troubleshooting steps provided on this
    article
    . It contains information and basic troubleshooting steps regarding keyboard problems in Windows.

    We're looking forward to your reply.

  3. Keyboard input lag (Logitech K270 wireless keyboard, Windows 10 20H2)

    Hi there. I've got yet another Windows 10 problem. lol

    This time it's my keyboard. I'm using a Logitech K270 wireless keyboard, on Windows 10 Pro 20H2. I have been experiencing keyboard input lag off and on for a couple months now, and I've searched for possible solutions, but none so far have worked. I was hoping you guys could suggest some fixes.

    Here's what I've tried, based on the suggestions I've found on the web:
    • Updating the keyboard/dongle's drivers (there are no drivers on Logitechs's site, oddly) and firmware. Nope.
    • Swapping USB ports. Nada.
    • Unplugging any extraneous USB devices. Zilch.
    • Checking the batteries. No joy.

    As I was typing this it was lagging here and there. It's a bit disconcerting. Anyway... I don't think I missed anything, but if you need more information or diagnostics, lemme know and I'll upload 'em.

    Wireless keyboard not working

    Hi Arthur,

    Thank you for your response.

    I suggest you to connect the keyboard to a different computer and check if it works.

    Apart from wireless keyboard, I would also suggest you to connect wired keyboard to the computer and check the status.

    If issue still persists, try the steps provided below and check if it helps.

    Check in compatibility mode.

    Download the keyboard drivers from your computer manufacture website for Windows 10.

    Follow these steps to install the drivers in compatibility mode and check if that helps.

    • Download the driver from the manufacturer’s website.
    • Right-click on the driver setup file and click on ‘properties’.
    • Click on the ‘compatibility’ tab and check the box ‘Run this program in compatibility mode for’ and select Windows 8 operating system from the drop down menu and proceed
      with the installation.
    • Once this is done, restart the computer and check if the issue persists.

    Hope the information helps, if you have any further queries, feel free to post. We are here to assist you.
