Weird Keyboard Issues with My New PC—Help Needed!
Asked by

I've got a new PC built around a Ryzen 5 5600GT and 16GB of RAM, but I'm facing a really strange issue with my keyboard. Whenever I plug it directly into the wall outlet, there's a noticeable delay. Sometimes it even fails to register key presses or randomly opens programs while I'm playing, disturbing my full-screen experience. I've tested various keyboards, including some premium ones, but the same issue persists. They all function perfectly on my laptop. Oddly enough, when I use a power strip or an extension cord, the problems lessen but don't completely go away. I'm starting to wonder if it's a problem with my power supply and would love to get some insight on this.

It sounds like you might be having a voltage issue at the outlet. It could be that your wall outlet is supplying inconsistent power, and the power strip is filtering it a bit better. I’d suggest getting a quality power strip that has voltage monitoring—it might help stabilize things for your keyboard.

You might want to check if there are any specific settings in your BIOS regarding USB power management that could affect your keyboard performance. Sometimes USB ports can misbehave if they aren't set up right.
