To check if your mouse and keyboard are being detected as USB 3.0 devices, try identifying their ports in the software. You’re seeing them as ports 3 and 4, but not 1 or 2. There are also four ports marked yellow—could those be unused or unconnected? Make sure the cables are properly plugged in and that your system is updated.
i just set up the usb drivers and haven’t done much. i’m curious if my 3.0 keyboard is being seen as connected to a 3.0 port. i downloaded all the drivers and it’s showing up in port 3 even though it’s plugged into the only thunderbolt port i have. it’s also being recognized as 2.0.
It could be integrated into an onboard part like a sensor. Being listed doesn't guarantee availability. It simply indicates the software or system isn't aware of the device's purpose. This isn't unusual. The systems don't always need to understand a device's function for communication to work.
it's mainly because I only have one type of USB port for this keyboard. it uses a Thunderbolt connection, which is confusing. i'm unsure if it will work or if i should turn it on in the BIOS. it seems like the system is trying to recognize it as 3 out of 4 or 4 out of 4 instead of the expected 1 out of 4 or 2 out of 4.
Why is there a USB 3.0 keyboard? It seems odd since keyboards don’t really benefit from that speed.
The keyboard supports USB 3.0 via its pass-through feature, which is the standard. However, your screenshot indicates it uses USB 2.0, which is typical. Overall, everything appears correct and the keyboard should function properly.
It's unclear if version 3.0 is merely a copy-paste or if it actually enhances speed for analog features.
It shouldn't slow down, but the USB passthrough could be affected or run slower. @Nayr438 is accurate.
