This analysis was prepared with AI assistance using device details and researched sources. Despite careful preparation, some information may be incomplete or incorrect. Method and limitations
The specific problem
All keyboard keys are unresponsive
The Bloody S98 USB keyboard does not respond when any key is pressed.
Symptoms and likely causes
Possible causes include a loose or faulty USB connection, a computer-side USB issue, or a keyboard-side fault. Testing on another computer helps separate host and keyboard problems.
Quick diagnosis
First connect the Bloody S98 directly to another USB port and test it on a second computer. If it still fails with a known-good cable, seek Bloody support or a repair assessment; the fault has not yet been isolated.
Parts and compatibility
No replacement part can be identified from the symptom alone.

Repair options
- Try a different direct USB port.
