The keyboard isn't functioning on your system yet but operates on other devices?
Razer Huntsman [RZ03-0252] is an opto-mechanical keyboard. I've been using it for about four and a half years. The keyboard isn't being recognized on my PC, but it does show up on other systems such as laptops and desktops. It was installed with the Razer Synapse driver on one system and without any pre-installed drivers on others. In both cases, the device was detected and functioned properly. I tested it in various USB ports on the motherboard and the front USB port, but it didn’t connect. The keyboard also didn’t work even when inserted into the BIOS before the operating system loaded, suggesting the issue isn’t related to Windows. I also tried using it with Ubuntu, but it still didn’t function there.
The keyboard operates at 5V and draws up to 500mA. My Samsung portable SSD, which is rated 5V-900mA, works correctly with the motherboard, indicating power draw shouldn't be a problem. Other keyboards—basic membrane and a mechanical model borrowed from a friend—also work well on my PC.
I’m still trying to figure out why this keyboard isn’t working.

BIOS version for your motherboard at this time?
I have followed all the details you provided. If you had read my previous message, you would notice that I already tried a portable Samsung T5 SSD and another mechanical keyboard I borrowed, both of which functioned perfectly. Therefore, I believe the problem isn't related to a USB port. I'm unsure how a corrupt OS could be causing this either. As mentioned earlier, I tested the keyboard in BIOS but it didn't work, and after installing Ubuntu it also didn't resolve the issue. Chipset drivers are something I can reinstall and verify since I haven't tried that yet.
