Reiterating the title, my keyboard goes unresponsive while playing. . My keyboard goes unresponsive sometimes and the symptoms are seemingly random . Happens in different game modes like tdm and conquest . After it goes unresponsive, it doesn’t react to any commands (alt+tab, alt+enter, ctrl+alt+delete, alt+f4, etc. . It’s not that I’m triggering a different language keyboard because I changed the hotkeys . My mouse still works during the time my keyboard isn’t . My keyboard is a corsair k70 and is plugged in properly . Mouse is g602 wireless (if that matters) Any help is appreciated! If any more pertinent information is needed, please ask. ---

Some basic things to run through first. Have you tried plugging your keyboard into another usb port (does that specific usb port have any issues when used with your mouse for example?) and do you have a 2nd keyboard you could try to see if the problem reoccurs? I assume your usb ports are getting enough power supply? You potentially may have a driver issue so a fresh keyboard driver install would be recommended, and once your firmware is updated try using the keyboard without any customised functions to see if it works on default settings. ---

Well, apparently my K70 uses default drivers provided by my OS (Windows 10). (I also learned that most of my drivers are managed automatically by Windows 10 so I can’t download specific drivers even if I wanted to.) My keyboard works fine for everything but Battlefield 4, so I assume it has enough power. Just to be sure, I tried different slots and it still didn’t help. Sadly, I don’t have a second keyboard. I had to throw mine away after experiencing the greatness that is mechanical keyboards. ---

U should try to find a friend with bf4 and ask him to try your keyboard. Before that make sure the keyboard is plugged in a high power USB 2.0 port (+500mA) slot. Maybe your psu gives not enough power to the usb lane when your gpu and cpu is under full load from bf4. The following keyboards and mice have been verified to work in Windows 10 with their existing legacy software: M40, MM45, M60, M65, M90, M95, K30, K40, K50, K90, K95. The K70 is not verfied for win 10 so you should ask in their forums or their tech support if there is a known problem with that OS.
