I got a new keyboard, a "cloudnine" brand, split, mechanical keyboard with lots of LEDs, some additional keys, and a volume knob.
While this keyboard is plugged in, the PC will not boot. It turns on, gets passed POST, and the GRUB screen comes up. When it continues beyond the GRUB screen, I only have a blinking cursor. Nothing shows up anywhere in the logs, and there are no messages on the screen, so I have no idea what the hold-up is. The only thing I can do is unplug the keyboard and hit the reset button on the PC case.
Once passed the GRUB screen, and I see the boot messages scrolling by, I can plug the keyboard back in and there are no issues. From then on, the keyboard functions perfectly.
When I plug it in, it registers as the following:
Code: Select all

Does anyone have any idea what the issue might be?
