Windows 10: Is there a reason why Windows installs my USB keyboard with both keyboard and mouse drivers?

My keyboard has been having a crazy amount of problems recently, one being that it sometimes doesn't work even though the RGB is still lit. Another weird indicator is that the caps lock on my laptop will trigger the light on the keyboard. I did some digging when reinstalling the drivers and found that Windows installs a keyboard driver for the keyboard, then also installs a mouse driver under its name as well. Why does it do this? I've uninstalled it for now, and it doesn't seem to do anything.

Hi,

One reason why your mouse and keyboard is not working is because of an outdated driver. We suggest that you update the mouse and keyboard driver by following the steps below:

• Pres Windows+X key on your keyboard.
• Select Device Manager.
• Locate the mouse and keyboard drivers, right click, then click on Update.

If you need further assistance, don't hesitate to reach out.

 

Mouse and keyboard don't work on Windows install

Ok, thanks ill check out how i installed them on my motherboard. Im in the device managed right now and for my mouse it reads
"This device cannot start. (Code 10)

{operation failed}

The requested operation was unsuccessful"

I tried to plug in my ethernet cable as well to try to go online to get driver updates but the light is glowing yellow/orange rather than green and it also has the same message as my mouse in the device manager.

oh and both the keyboard and mouse are wired

I have the legacy usb support enabled in bios and i have my mouse plugged into the usb 2.0 (im using my PS keyboard atm just so i can control the comp so my usb keyboard isnt connected) but the mouse is still not working when i am running windows.
