Don't be like that. It is a Filco keyboard, but I cannot remember which one. I bought it three years ago from the keyboard company near Stroud in Gloucestershire. I will never spend that much on a keyboard again, although I have been very pleased with it. It just seems silly to attach such an expensive item to my laptop, instead of my new desktop.On 28/06/2019 09:09, Rillian Grant wrote:Maby try lspciI think you mean lsusb? Do 'dmesg | tail -n 20' before and after plugging it in and out on the PC to make sure it's being recognised. What exactly is this £120 keyboard anyway Neil - it better be one amazing piece of kit. It's some fancy Cherry MX mechanical thing isn't it?
Since you mention lsusb here is the output. Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub Bus 001 Device 004: ID 046d:c52b Logitech, Inc.

Here I am using my cheap (£9) keyboard, which works with both desktop and laptop, while the expensive one (£120) is seen by the laptop only. At least as far as I know, I have left well alone for the moment. It could be working again. I suspect that some update has caused a problem somewhere. Another update could sort it. I suppose that keyboards also have drivers, but I know nothing about that.
Meanwhile at least both computers can be used. Neil -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG https://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
