Zippy keyboard doesn't work very well

Hello

This keyboard stops working after you stop pressing keys for awhile,
it's weird, and the so callad HID compliant driver is very unstable, I
tried everything including turning off the error detection in the USB
hub and router, still does it.

Does anyone have the zippy EL-610 keyboard with blue lights. It's fairly
new on the market. Is their better driver than kbhid.vxd from microsoft.

The only way I can get it to work sometimes is to unplug it and then
plug it back in again, but even that doesn't work so I have to reboot,
cause windows freezes up and the mouse doesn't work.

No conflicts in the device manager under the system properties in the
control panel. Nothing to indicate it shouldn't work, however it is USB,
I'm just wondering if my BIOS needs an upgrade,or I need the riser card
hardware, instead of the shity 2 USB female terminal connector I bought
for 7 bucks for my motherboard on boxing day.

Can anyone help me figure this out?


My advice, don't buy a zippy keyboard, their shit!!!

well, there is the chance that it requires USB 2.0 while your motherboard's
USB might be 1.0...

there's also a chance that your version of Windows doesn't run right with
it... you didn't mention whether or not you're using Win95.. that version is
known to not support USB very well at all...

then there's also a chance that (a) that one keyboard is bad... or (b) that
model of keyboard sucks...<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->
