Crouching Camper Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 Hi, just brought a K100 keyboard. Since I am working with multiple computers I need to unplug and replug (between my gaming rig and wfh pc). I connect both K100's USB (main and passthrough) to a USB splitter and plug the splitter to either one of my machine. I notice under this setup my gaming rig cannot get out of sleep (by pressing keys). I tried to connect K100's USB directly to it and the problem is gone. So which means K100 has to be connected directly? Since I have 2 machine I need to split the keyboard. Is the splitter the reason? Does K100 has a specific power draw requirement to work? If I get a powered USB hub (instead of a non powered splitter) will it helps? Thx in adv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevBiker Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 A powered USB hub would be better but I can't be sure that'll solve the problem. It depends on if sleep shuts down the hub (which it may). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee Corsair Blade Posted March 22, 2022 Corsair Employee Share Posted March 22, 2022 We can only guarantee functionality of our keyboards with the Corsair USB hub -- all others are not supported for use and tend to not provide enough power, along the lines of what DevBiker is saying.
