Keyboard connectivity issue, but only one specific keyboard and laptop

[Dylan-L_0927]

Hey guys, I have a fairly odd problem:

 

When I boot up my laptop, it does not take input from the keyboard. I need to disconnect the keyboard's wire and reconnect it to have my laptop finally receive input from the keyboard. This did not happen with my other keyboard which I only just replaced 2 days ago. The keyboard is receiving power during this. I know this because the keyboard does have wireless capability. When I have the batteries turned off with a switch, with the keyboard plugged in to the laptop, the laptop receives input when the keyboard is in wireless mode. This also does not happen with a different laptop. So it's an issue specific to just this keyboard when used with the specific laptop.

TLDR: Laptop doesn't take input from wired keyboard upon boot. Keyboard is receiving power. Laptop does receive input from the same keyboard if the keyboard is operating in wireless. Laptop does receive input after disconnecting and reconnecting the keyboard. Issue cannot be replicated with a different keyboard or laptop.

Any help will be greatly appreciated!
