Driver conflict with my keyboard and sometimes mouse.

mean_booty · 2016-09-17 16:07:16

In my KDE desktop environment, there seems to be a strange problem. I'm guessing it has to do with the interaction between drivers and KDE.

**CORRECTION** This happens in XFCE too, so I do not believe it is related to KDE, but is a driver issue instead.

Only in my DE (not shell) my mechanical keyboard will stop working or glitch out.

The conditions and their effects for this are: Using a KDE shortcut (Shortcut doesn't work and keyboard shuts off), pressing enter (Keyboard will either shut of, or repeat the last letter pressed), or sometimes completely randomly the keyboard will shut off and the input will think one key is being held down.

I believe this to be a conflict with Xorg, but I am not sure.

Here is the Dmesg output for the duration of a long error and disconnect/reconnect (hardware, although I'm not convinced the disconnects aren't software) session.

Anything any of you more experienced guys are able to figure out from this?

I'm thinking about going XFCE simply to not have this problem. Any help would be appreciated! Let me know if there are any other log dumps you need!

Additional keyboard information: Keyboard is Coolermaster Quickfire Rapid
Mouse: Sentey Revolution Pro (Works fine usually. Keyboard fails more. Once in a great while the mouse fails)

This is also my libinput output. There are two devices for my keyboard for some reason.

mean_booty, can I get you to please edit your first post and use BBCode code tags around your program output and file contents. Your readers will appreciate it. That link is also available under every message post box on the forums. Thanks.
