I have a weird issue when I use Keyboard and it disconnects from USB

[zhunGamerTTV (人^▽')～]

Basically if my Controller is plugged in and I press something on the keyboard (for example, F12 so I can take a screenshot) then my keyboard disconnects. To make it work, I have to unplug the USB and plug it back in.

I'm not sure if anyone else experienced this or this is a completely isolated issue with my Genius KB-G265 keyboard. But it's only happened with this game so far.

I'm beginning to lose my faith in humanity. I'm trying to be an optimist, but the number of people who skip right past that giant green "Pinned: Known Issues" thread is starting to worry me.

Anyway, that's the first place one should look in any forum, if such a thread exists.

Well I didn't check. I figured this isn't common, sue me.

Anyways, thanks for the help..

"Keyboard getting stuck randomly
This seems to mostly happen on the Logitech G110 keyboard, but others might be affected, too. Try to disable controller hotplugging.
You can disable gamepad hotplugging by changing "ControllerHotplug=1" to "ControllerHotplug=0" in the Options.ini file, which is located in your save data folder. Look at the top of this page for instructions on how to locate the save data folder on your PC."

I understand, and I should apologize. The snark wasn't necessary. Just because it would be the very first place I'd check, regardless of my problem, doesn't mean everyone else thinks the same way. :)

Well, if you've posted this to many many people by now, I understand why you'd be cranky in the sense that "ugh another fool who never really bothered to check the sticky" but honestly, it's kinda unusual if your keyboard stops working in the middle of a game - never happened before, for a second I thought it was a problem with the drivers or the keyboard itself. It is not the sturdiest of keyboards in my opinion XD And I didn't think the game can legitimately mess my drivers up and disconnect the keyboard from the USB. You must admit, it's fairly uncommon.

And afterwards I tried without the controller in and it also stopped working which freaked me out in the middle of a challenge room, ugh.

But hey, the fix worked, so that's cool.

I have the same keyboard and the same issue? How did you resolve yours. Its not Steam exclusive.

This only happened for me with Binding of Isaac Rebirth.
Although it started happening more and more often and now I've switched to a different keyboard, just about a week ago, actually.

For BOI:Rebirth the solution was that I disabled ControllerHotplug in the options.ini file.

In general however, I think the solution is to switch to a sturdier keyboard. Reconnecting to another USB Port helped, but sometimes I was still getting disconnects. It's weird, really.

I have the same issue with this keyboard KB-G265 its not about the game but the way you use the keyboard , it happen when you dont press any key for a few minutes then the first press just disconnect it, i have tried everything softwarevise turning off every power saving feature messing with bios nothing helped this keyboard its just garbage the only sollution is new keyboard or USB hub with power cable into the plug

The solution really is that the Genius KB-G265 is garbage-tier crap.

My gf has KB-G255 and it did not have this problem.

I switched to some Logitech keyboard, specifically G105. But I've been checking out some possible new keyboard... but this one works just fine :D
