Keyboard causing audio interferance

My Corsair K70 is causing static through my DAC. Whenever my keyboard is connected to any USB port on my computer, static can be heard from any headphones connected to the DAC. However, if I connect my headphones to a 3.5mm port, they work perfectly. So I'm guessing my keyboard is causing audio interference for all USB ports somehow. 

 

I'm using a FiiO E10K and Audio Technica M50x. I was wondering if anything can be done to stop my keyboard from causing this static? Thanks.

Might add this later...

Your USB controller is getting overloaded, so change your polling rate. There's a switch on the back of the K70.

 

Edit: Note that this is an oversimplification.

Already tried all the different modes and it changes nothing.

If I plug my keyboard into the front USB ports, the static is lowered to almost unnoticeable. However, it's still slightly there and also using the front USB ports like, ruins my cable management setup.
