Keyboard Stopped Working

Hey guys,
I booted up my machine yesterday and my keyboard no longer works. It doesn't even work when I am booting up and going through the motherboard bios into the grub screen. Whenever I get logged into arch and check the logs I see this.

usb usb7-port1: unable to enumerate USB device
usb usb7-port1: Cannot enable. Maybe the USB cable is bad?

When I plug in an alternate keyboard I have it works perfectly fine, originally I was thinking the keyboard is actually shot. But when I plug it into my old ubuntu laptop it lights up and types just like normal.
I have tried updating the system, rebooting multiple times. I'm unsure of what the next step would be. Its a corsair K70R if that makes in difference. Ive looked on the arch wiki for some troubleshooting and could only find things about setting keymaps.

Thanks.

Re: Keyboard Stopped Working

Have you tried another keyboard for this machine?
There may be a problem on the port you plugging the keyboard.

Re: Keyboard Stopped Working

Yes I have tried a different keyboard, and it works perfectly fine. As well as trying every USB port available on the machine with the keyboard that has stopped working.
