USB keyboard disconnects when holding any button down

Hi,

Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.

I suggest you to follow the below methods and check if it helps.

Method 1: I suggest you to try the following steps and check if it helps:

• The USB connection may be loose. Try unplugging the keyboard, and then plugging it back in.
• Plug the keyboard into a different USB port.
• If your keyboard is plugged into a USB hub or USB switch box, try removing it and plugging the keyboard into the computer.
• Unplug other USB devices that are not in use.
• Try the keyboard on another computer to verify it is working correctly

Method 2: Also I suggest you to uninstall and reinstall the usb keyboard drivers as below and check if it helps.

• Press Windows+X and go to device manager.
• Then expand keyboards and right click on the driver.
• Then click on uninstall and restart the computer.
• It will be reinstalled automatically and check if it helps.

Hope this information was helpful and do let us know if you need further assistance. We will be glad to assist.

 

USB connecting and disconnecting

This is a sort-of follow on to my earlier question about cables.

Tethering a camera to a tablet, laptop or desktop generally takes a couple cables (often a USB on-the-go cable). So I have a 3 meter Amazon Basics USB 3 Type-A extension and a 1M USB 3 Type-A to micro B. Works perfectly. Plug the micro B into the camera, the other end of the short cable into the female end of the extension and the other end into the computer. Shoves data back and forth at good speed, stays connected, happy happy.

Wanted a right-angle micro B (fits the camera better), so I bought a .3M (1 foot) USB 3 Type-A to right angle micro B. Plugged THAT cable into the camera, connected the extension, plugged into the computer. It connected, then started very quickly disconnecting and connecting. Repeatedly.

Just in case it was something bizarre with the camera (though it worked perfectly with OTHER cables), did EXACTLY the same thing with an SSD in a USB 3 micro B external, USB powered case. Took the SAME (first) set of cables, connected, worked fine. Shoved data at around 400MBps.

I’ve done this with good cables (Transcend) and cheap cables (Amazon Basics) and they work. I’ve even plugged things into USB 2 extensions and even THOSE work – though slowly.

Switched to the NEW cable with the right-angle micro B. Connected to the same extension and it did the same thing as before – connected then started very quickly disconnecting and connecting.

BUT, if I take JUST the Type-A to right angle micro B, plug that DIRECTLY into the computer, it’s fine… The SSD stays connected and pushes data fine. But NOT when connected to the extension.

Took a DIFFERENT, 1M Monoprice USB 3 Type-A extension and plugged the right angle micro B into THAT. SAME problem. Connects, disconnects repeated, very quickly.

All these cables work. But only SOME work when plugged into either of the extensions. MOST of them (at least 3) work FINE plugged into EITHER of the extensions. But the one I WANT to work – the one with the right angle micro B DOESN’T.

What’s happening when a USB peripheral connects and disconnects quickly, repeatedly? Is there a PROBLEM with the length (I’m way under 16 feet) or something else? Is it some kind of protection by the computer when the USB device is drawing too much power, has a wiring flaw, is causing a short or something?
