I myself am not using a USB hub, or a Steam Link. I have the keyboard plugged directly into an open USB 2.0 port on my motherboard. But the freezing of Steam and *insert game here* when a controller is connected/disconnected is not my only problem with the K55. I have also experienced Windows saying (and I quote) "The last USB device connected to the computer has malfunctioned." In which, the last connected USB device is always the K55 since I replug it multiple times after turning on my computer to get CUE to recognize it and apply my color scheme, to not have to deal with rainbow colors. But whats worse, and forces me to have to reboot the PC via the power button on my chassis, is that the firmware glitches and causes one key to spam entries, rendering every application and UI completely unusable. The keys that are responsible for this are all found to be bound as thumb keys on my Scimitar Pro (which doesn't malfunction or glitch, K55 is the problem). When this key spam starts, pressing the thumb key on my mouse (bound to the spamming key) causes CUE to crash with a Windows critical error dialog box. I use a 3rd party start menu mod, which allows me to use the Win 7 start menu in Win 10, which glitches out when there are an infinite, unending key presses from the keyboard. I can still click the button that normally pulls up the real Win 10 start menu, but that menu doesn't actually pull up. Trying to use any text box (for example, Run, to try and get CUE to start) just fills the text box with the key thats spamming (fairly obviously). Trying to navigate ProgramFiles folder is futile, since Explorer locks up with continuous key presses. I can't use device manager, since I can't use Run. I can get to computer management, but the key spamming renders it unusable as well. Unplugging the keyboard does nothing, and plugging in a different keyboard and pressing the spam key doesn't solve the problem either. On the previous version of the firmware, this would still happen, but you could normally stop the key spam by spamming the key thats spamming. This needs to be addressed ASAP, as it happens at least once every 48 hours of computer usage, which would equal out to around every 3-5 days. Not good, at all.

I have the same problem... What is up with Corsair and their budget keyboard?
