I found the issue in another post, apparently the problem is, 1. Kodi doesn't play HDR content (I found an updated version that does).
2. Windows HDR setting are on and this causes the black screen when creating an overlay in full screen mode.
I guess I will have to live with it until MS fixes it

hi, you should look into the Logitech G13 Gaming Keyboard pad, is oldish but still relevant (it was release in 2008), it has also gone up in price, I bought mine for $150( sold it and bough another one for almost as much). If you get it from third party retailers, you are going to pay a premium (Logitech doesn't offer it on their store anymore). you can also find it on ebay for cheap ($80 if you buy it now at the time of this writing) if you are willing to go that route. There are other cheaper alternatives but Logitech in my opinion is the best (https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=Logitech+G13+Programmable+Gameboard)
 
What is so special about the G-13?
Its programmable, and is not just for games, you can position it either on your left or right side since its symmetrical (although it was meant to be on the left and you cant re position the joystick). They keyboard use the Logitech Gaming software which allows you to set profiles for specific applications and devices. you can create profiles for you applications and activate the profile when you run the app and all they keys will be working based on the profile macros. the software also work with other Logitech devices, I have a Logitech 602 mouse with programmable keys and everything works together based on the selected profile. You can also assign colors for each profile if you like.
In my opinion the G-13 will give you the freedom you are looking..you probably wont even have to use the key on you tablet or pen (Im assuming you use a Wacom tablet like I do lol)
Good luck

Yes, USB powered Optical drives exist. Note that they are generally slower (8x speed) compared to the possible maximum (32-64x). Not saying it won't work fine for watching DVDs but don't expect extremely fast file copies. For something faster, look for an external drive powered by a outlet.

Hi, does the computer doesn't power up at all when you press the power button? if it doesnt, maybe power switch wires are not connected correctly to the motherboard..
Also, how is the fan with the LED connected? is it bypassing the mobo and connected directly to the PSU..
and lastly are both power cables connected to the mobo? there are 2 wires coming from the PSU for power (usually) the 24 pin (or 20-pin) and a secondary 8-pin 12v (or 4-pin).
you might start checking if you are getting power to you rig and take it from there..
