Hey [H],

I've got a tricky one!

I have noticed that when my das keyboard Ultimate is plugged into my PC, I have issues with USB devices. My mouse will always work fine, however *if* the das keyboard ultimate is plugged in, extra USB devices will not get recognized by Windows and fail.

If I have my keyboard plugged in, and plug in a flash drive, windows will not recognize it. Unplug the keyboard, all is fine!

I tried using my G15 keyboard, and with 3 devices plugged in....Windows told me that my USB hub power had been exceeded.

Could this keyboard be defective in anyway, if its drawing so much power? I don't understand whats making this keyboard rape my system of its USB....
 
It does sound like a bad keyboard. Have you tried the keyboard in another USB port? On another PC? Same type of behavior?
