USB 2.0 ports running at 1.11/1.10?

Hello,
I seem to be having some issue with USB 2.0 capable devices running at 1.11/1.10 speeds on 2.0 ports.
Is there anyway to force 2.0 on said ports?
Thanks

dmesg:

Re: USB 2.0 ports running at 1.11/1.10?

Why do you assert that the devices are capable of high speed?   Most HID devices have no need for that bandwidth and operate very well at full speed.
Also, the USB specification states that USB 2.0 devices are to have removable cables as opposed to fixed cables.  Most keyboards, mice and joysticks have fixed cables and are, therfore, either non-compliant, or are USB 1.1

Re: USB 2.0 ports running at 1.11/1.10?

Also, the USB specification states that USB 2.0 devices are to have removable cables as opposed to fixed cables.  Most keyboards, mice and joysticks have fixed cables and are, therfore, either non-compliant, or are USB 1.1

I'm trying to utilise the extra bandwidth as I currently seem to have stuttering in GPU/CPU intensive games, with both keyboard and mouse enabled over USB.
The keyboard seems to be the main cause of the problem as stuttering disappears with a older membrane USB keyboard or a PS/2 keyboard whilst using the same mouse.

The keyboard in question a CM Storm Quickfire TK mechanical keyboard is outputting a hardware based 1000Hz polling rate and also NKRO over usb, both 6KRO and NKRO work fine in Linux. The cable is removable.

The specifications from the website state:

Key Roll-over
NKRO (windows only)

Polling Rate
1000 Hz /1 ms

Interface
USB 2.0 full speed
USB cable
1.8m, braided, gold plated, removable

Now, I could be mistaken on the mouse as the cable is non-removable and everything works fine including a 1000Hz polling rate, although I use 500Hz.

Note that the spec you quote says full speed.  Not high speed.

Ah so that makes sense, I guess that makes the 12Mbps signaling rate correct. So I can rule out this as the cause of the stuttering.
At a complete loss as how to fix it now though.

Re: USB 2.0 ports running at 1.11/1.10?

Even though the problem disappears with a different USB kbd, you should try a different USB port if you haven't already. If you have another cable or a USB-PS2 adapter, try those too. As a last resort, you could play around with the USB controller settings in the BIOS.

Previously tried these before posting, switching ports inc 3.0 ports.
2 USB - PS/2 adapters (both didn't work) also bios settings like echi hand off & legacy usb etc, which I normally have disabled.
Even tried disabling USB 3.0 chipset under bios, which strangely also disabled my NIC controller.
Had no luck unfortunately.
