    - All keyboards were new except the first

    - Updated ALL associated drivers

    - All other USB peripherals work

    - Problem periodically stops for a day or two

    - Replaced all PC components since it started except RAM, drives 1 HDD, 2 NVMe, and GPU

    - PCIe USB card didn't help

    - Did full antivirus scan via ESET NOD32

    - Tried clean install of windows before and after replacement of parts

    - Wiped all drives, even free space via CCleaner prior to clean installs and also reformatted all drives during windows installation

    - Keyboard issues present EVEN AT BIOS LEVEL both on old and new motherboards, which can be seen by trying to set a bios level administrator password


    I am using Windows 10 Home Edition 64 bit. My configuration is as follows:


    Motherboard: MSI X470 Gaming Pro Carbon


    CPU: Ryzen 3600


    GPU: Red Devil Powercolor 8GB RX580


    NVMe 1: 256GB, Samsung EVO 970 This is my boot drive

    NVMe 2: 256GB, Samsung EVO 960

    HDD: 2.75TB Seagate Pipeline


    RAM: 32GB 2x16GB G.Skill 2667MHz Ripjaws V DDR4


    PSU: 750W Thermaltake Toughpower Modular Power Supply


    Case: Thermaltake View 37


    Sound Card: Sound Blaster Z


    Does anyone have a solution I haven't already tried? All parts other than RAM, GPU, and drives are under 3 months old and I replaced them mainly in an effort to fix the keyboard problem. It didn't work. That was after trying all the things I previously mentioned. I'll try anything at this point.

    :)

    Mouse problem - No mice work, wireless or wired

    On Windows 10, after previously working just fine, a reboot has rendered any and all mouse devices non-responsive. Only the touchpad works. I have tried numerous steps already...

    1) Tried the mouse on another computer. Both wired and wireless work on other PCs, but not on the PC in question.

    2) Tried a different USB port, none work despite recognizing the USB device and installing drivers.

    3) Safe mode is no different. I have uninstalled the 3 Human Interface devices and allowed Windows to re-install them.

    4) I have a wireless keyboard that shares the wireless mouse USB port, the keyboard works but the mouse does not.

    5) I have checked for Windows updates, none are available.

    6) I have rebooted, restarted and tried again numerous times.

    7) Neither wired nor wireless work, on any or all USB ports. Other devices work in these same USB ports.

    How can I restore mouse functionality that previously worked?

    random keyboard keys stop working?

    i went out today and everything was fine, i come home and three random keys stopped working, maybe more i havent noticed yet. the three key on the left side of the keyboard not working, the left shift stopped working, and the enter key stopped working, but the one on the numpad works fine. no one was home to use it, nothing spilled on it, i tried it on another computer and same deal. im gonna go buy a new one tomorrow but it makes me sad cause i loved this keyboard lol, microsoft ergonomic 4000. ill probably buy the same exact one if its in stock tomorrow, this one lasted or 4 years about. im just confused why three random keys spread out stopped working at the same time...seems very weird

    Need a new wireless keyboard - suggestions?

    This is a for work - not gaming!

    My work keyboard is a wireless logitech, lasted some 6 years and now has a case of sticking keys, so I need a new one. I really liked it, thought the key action isn't the greatest. It has been through millions of keystrokes.

    I have a G5 gaming mouse (both work and home), I want to keep that.

    So I'm looking for:

    • Wireless and responsive
    • (USB and PS2 capable)
    • Assignable hot keys
    • Dedicated volume and playback buttons
    • Great feel (for lots of typing)
    • Intergrated wrist-wrest
    • Black (nice not to see gunk that builds up)
    • Under $100
    Anyone have any "passionate" suggestions? I plan to stop at staples to try some out. I am partial to Logitech.
