Without other usb devices the keyboard works immediately. With them it takes 5 ish seconds for it to start responding. This is regardless of which device is discovered first (which I can manipulate), it seems to just wait for all of them. Is there a way to make it not do that?
Edit: This is specifically about linux boot. It otherwise works fine in bios / bootloader
I’ve had this happen before on some weird systems. Unplugging and replugging the keyboard woke the keyboard back up.
Are you using the usb ports on the motherboard itself? Because you need to with a lot of MBs depending on when they initialize other USB
I had a motherboard like this: the USB ports didn’t work until it booted into an OS. You had to connect a PS2 to make changes in the BIOS, and could only boot from IDE. It was super-annoying.
…on which hardware?
Last i encountered this issue i had to connect it directly to an USB port, instead of through an USB hub.
Check if you find anything about this in the kernel log (dmesg
).
