Keyboard cable help

toxinsss · March 17

Hi there. Just a small issue I can’t seem to wrap my head around. I recently got a tv at the end of my bed and the way my setup is I can use my pc in bed as that is my “3rd monitor” for story games.

Anyways the issue arises when I try and plug in a 10ft usb a to usb c cable into my keyboard to reach my spot, with the slightest movement, It completely glitches out and works for maybe 2 keystrokes and then acts like i’m having sticky keys issues and in short doesn’t work at all. When I plug it into the shorter cable the keyboard came with I have absolutely zero issues. Any idea as to what could be happening here? The black cable in the videos below is the 10ft cable in question.

You are exceeding the length of USB-c. And doing that with a low quality cable can cause issues. You could try using a better cable but it still may not work. The prober way would be use a powered USB hub.

Do u think if i use a high power delivery usb c Hub it would work, as in connecting to usb c on my pc to the hub and then using a shorter usb c cable from the hub to the keyboardv My pc does have a front panel usb c not in use.
