What was happening was I couldn't turn on the computer via the power button.
CORSAIR STRAFE KEYBOARD UPDATE
I never attributed the update as being the problem as it seemed to be more hardware as software related. Recently I updated CUE and began having problems.
Ok, this may or may not be relevant but I'll post what my problem was and how I fixed it. Interestingly, when the KB goes dead in 1 port, it won't pick back up in that port until after restart or long wait, but others may pick it up for a brief time. Oh, I have also tried the KB in all ports, both 2.0 and 3.0, both with and without pass-through also plugged in. Simply on or off with regard to USB ports.) (Oh, btw, checked BIOS and there really isn't much to work with. Sorry for the long post, but figured I'd give as much relevant info as I could. I am hoping someone will recognize this as a simple setting somewhere and be able to provide a solution. The Strafe keyboard also has a different connector, I imagine, in terms of how it draws power, etc through the port than the Dell KB… but I am guessing here, unfamiliar with this depth of hardware/power interaction with the Mainboard through USB 2.0 or 3.0. This leads me to look rather to the system. So far as I know, the keyboard contains no onboard battery, and yet all the symptoms play out exactly as if it were on battery and running dry.
CORSAIR STRAFE KEYBOARD PC
I understand it could be a faulty keyboard, but my instinct tells me it is a PC environment variable and not hardware. To me it's all a bit strange, but what else is new with computers. I have tried both soft and hard reset of the strafe (escape key and button on underside) and have not been able to get this thing worked out. I should note that I do have another USB keyboard, a standard Dell keyboard that came with the box and it works flawlessly all the time. However, last night I powered the computer off and when turned back on this morning, no keyboard lights at all, just dead. That seemed to have done the trick, and I thought I had resolved this. I finally had the keyboard up and running for about a week (had not turned off computer in this time, only restarts and sleep mode), and I had disabled power management of USB devices and controllers, also in HID, unchecking the box that allowed them to turn off devices to save power. Sometimes it will be recognized but for only a few seconds, then quickly disappear, and quickly will the lights go out and it is as dead again.
Sometimes when I wait a few minutes, plugging it into a different USB port, it will light up, but not the usual Orange, rather a dull and dim flickering blue and will not be recognized by the OS. Then all lights go off and the keyboard is a good as dead for a time.
CORSAIR STRAFE KEYBOARD WINDOWS 10
Then almost as if it were running on battery and not USB, the lights will dim, flicker and then I will hear Windows 10 go through a connecting, disconnecting, reconnecting maybe 2-3 times. Often, the keyboard when plugged will in work fine for a few minutes. I just purchased a new computer, Dell 5675 with Ryzen 7 1800.
