TT Esports Meka mechanical keyboard stops working after 30 seconds
OS: Windows 7
Keyboard: TT Esports Meka mechanical keyboard: TT ESPORTS MEKA G1 KB-MEG005UK Mechanical Gaming Keyboard: Amazon.co.uk: Computers & Accessories
Problem: It stops working about a 30 seconds after I plug it in.
Odd things:
1. It's still recognised by windows, it shows up in my devices window
2. It works with my sisters Imac without issue
3. When I put on capslocks on my ps/2 keyboard this keyboard lights up it's capslock button (though the button itself does not appear to work)
4. The USB ports in the keyboard work (plugged my wired controller in via them and played them.)
History: Back in january I rebuilt a substantial part of my pc, new motherboard, new cpu, new graphics card. But I prepped my windows 7 installation to be moved and while it was a bit of a hassle I moved everything across successfully, though it may not have been the right way, it took a lot of back and forth but eventually everything was working again. But this keyboard that had been working without issue with the previous motherboard has not worked with the current set up. I initially put it down to a busted keyboard and put it aside and used a cheap ps/2 keyboard in its place for work.
But in recent clean up I dug it back out and decided to test it with a different machine. Asked my sister to plug it into her mac and left it there for about 10-15 minutes, it worked without issue. Plugged it back into my pc and it stopped responding in less then a minute.
it honestly has me stumped cause it doesnt come with any drivers and the manufacturer's website say they dont need any. The computer recognises it and everything has power and seems to work.
But the keyboard itself doesnt?
I was linked to a very good tutorial on this website from a friend: USB Driver - General Fix for Problems
and I tried that to no success, so I thought that this has gone on long enough that I should put it out as a thread on its own because it's so odd and unique of an issue.
