Keyboard stopped working. Unknown device

Hi, a newbie here. Installed Bazzite on my PC, everything worked just fine, until this morning. My keyboard, Lenovo Legion K500 stopped working after the last system update.

I used another keyboard to see what’s going on, and Bazzite just doesn’t recognize it as a keyboard anymore (“Unknown Device”).

What would be my next steps? I updated everything I could, still nothing.

Have you ruled out faulty hardware? [bad cable, bad USB port, etc.]

Also, after scanning this → reddit.com ManjaroLinux lenovo_legion_k500_keyboard

it seems the settings are stored in the KB. If you have a Windows installation you might try to update the firmware / settings using the official Lenovo tool and try again after that.

I do not own this keyboard, but have owned Lenovo H/W in the past. It is worth a shot in my experience.

Thank you for responding. The port is fine (the other keyboard used it just fine) and the cable is fine since OS still recognized it being plugged in (including model, manufacturer, etc.)

I do not have Windows anything, just Bazzite. I just hope it will be fixed in the next update, whatever it is

Hi. Please download and image the latest Bazzite live iso on the flash driver you used to install Bazzite! Does the keyboard work there? Does the keyboard work in the bios menu before Bazzite even loads?

Thank you for your responses. It was the hardware issue (gaming keyboard with RGB lighting). Nothing to do with Bazzite (I think). The keyboard stopped being recognized by other laptops/PC as well.
