  1. Wireless keyboard I believe not connecting with USB receiver


    In simpler terms, my keyboard isn't letting me type. I change batteries very so often in a month in case it would stop working entirely but now it has. I'm not quite sure what the problem is but I've tried some solutions I've found on the internet—though limited to only using my mouse.For some background, I got my PC windows 11 late 2023. The keyboard is a Delux K6700 wireless with a wireless mouse as well although I ended up replacing the mouse months later because it kept glitching.This has been a recent problem every time I decide to use my pc every now and then, and I'm not sure if it'

    USB connected wireless keyboard and mouse not connecting.

    As Canadian Tech suggests, confirm that you have fresh batteries in the keyboard and mouse. There should be a light on each of those devices that will indicate that the device is powered on.

    What is the make and model of the keyboard/mouse combo?

    Is the "USB receiver" the one that came with the wireless keyboard and mouse?

    In general, wireless keyboard/mice will only work with the receiver that comes with them. If you just purchased this hardware, and nothing happens when you insert the USB receiver into a USB port on your computer (i.e., do you hear the "bong" USB connect
    sound?), first try all of the other USB ports. If still no joy, the hardware is likely defective and you should contact the vendor.

    You can double-check whether the problem is the keyboard, mouse, or receiver as follows:

    • Open Device Manager (click Start, type Device Manager into the Search box, and press Enter)
    • Double-click "Universal Serial Bus Controllers" to expand the category
    • Make a note of the items in this category; there may be quite a few -- if you don't think you can remember all of the names, just count how many items there are
    • Connect the USB receiver for the keyboard/mouse to a USB port
    • You should here the USB-connect sound and another item should appear in the "Universal Serial Bus Controllers" category
    • Although it shouldn't be necessary, if you don't see an additional item, click "Scan for hardware changes" in the Device Manager "Action" menu
    • If you don't see the new item, either the USB port or the USB receiver is defective.
