Logitech G213 Keyboard Keys Not Working Anymore, How to Fix?
It isn’t enjoyable when the necessary devices stop working, like Keyboard, speaker, mouse, etc. Sometimes due to technical or hardware issues, the machines stop responding. For example, Logitech G213 is a multipurpose keyboard widely used for gaming and media controls.
Check Hardware Damage
Gaming keyboards do come with a good lifespan, but if you use them aggressively they may get damaged. Especially with their connecting wires if you tug or pull them much often. Suppose the keys are unresponsive, then it’s tough to play any game in your System. Before moving to the technical methods, check if your Keyboard has any hardware damage.
Sometimes, it accidentally falls from the table or the desk, and the internal part of the Logitech G213 stops working. After that, you can connect the device with a USB cable or switch to another port and System to check if there is an issue with your Keyboard or System.
Use the different USB port
If your computer USB ports are damaged, dirty or rusty, then it can create problems for peripherals to work properly. Please check your USB port and clean it properly with tissue paper. You may also connect your Keyboard to a different USB port and check if that helps.
Enable keyboard Keys
the keyboard comes with special function keys that can enable or disable keystrokes. This is especially useful when you’re doing something important and suddenly your toddler or annoying siblings come over.
You might have accidentally switched this feature on and that’s the reason why it is not registering any keys now. You can enable or disable the keyboard by pressing Fn key + F11 key.
Check for Driver Update
An outdated driver is one of the common reasons the Logitech G213 Keyboard keys are not working. Unfortunately, updating any driver is only a few minute’s task.
- Right-click on the Start Menu and then select the Device Manager from the pop-up menu, or you can search Device manager in the Start menu search box.
