Keyboard working for anyone?

  steddyman

   Has anyone got a keyboard working? I can't get any to work either on the
   carousel menu or in the Basic application. I've tried 5 different ones now
   including PS2 ones with a converter, native USB ones and even a Logitech
   K400 that works on the Pi and everything else I've tried. I am even
   turning off before plugging in and nothing works.

   All USB keyboards I've tried have worked right away.

   I had this problem too. It's fixed now.
   The AC-adapter I used was only rated at 850 mAh and didn't provide enough
   power for all peripherals.

   Try another adapter that is rated >1000 mAh / 1 Ah and check if the
   keyboard is powered properly now?

   [2]Jumpmanjr That might be it, thanks. I am powering mine from the TV
   which is rated at 900ma.

   That was the problem with the keyboard. I also think the input lag is now
   also significantly reduced since switching to my Pi 3 power supply.

   TIP: You can use the power supply from a PS Vita,cause its 5V 2a,it has a
   notch,you have file down so you can plug in a normal USB cable,I use it on
   my RP3 that's in a Sega Mega CD 1.(it only plays Sega games.. [3]:D It
   uses Retropie and can use the original game pads. )

   Pi PSU is only £7 if you need one just for the C64mini and is 2.5A.
