Why Is My MCHOSE Keyboard Not Being Detected?

If your MCHOSE keyboard is not detected by your computer, MCHOSE HUB, or the web driver, the issue is usually related to USB connection, driver compatibility, browser permissions, security software, or firmware errors. Follow the troubleshooting steps below.

USB Power or Connection Issues

Unstable or insufficient USB power may prevent the keyboard from being detected.

Recommended solutions:

• Try a different USB port on your computer
• Prefer motherboard USB ports instead of front panel ports
• Avoid using USB hubs or docking stations
• Ensure the USB Type-C cable is firmly connected

If possible, test with the original cable.

Driver Compatibility Issues

If the keyboard is not recognized by MCHOSE HUB:

• Ensure you are using the latest version of MCHOSE HUB
• Uninstall the current version and reinstall the latest one
• Install the software using the default C: drive path

Reinstalling the driver often resolves compatibility issues.

Web Driver HID Permission Issues

If you are using the web driver, HID permissions must be enabled in the browser.

How to Enable HID Permissions (Chrome Example)

1. Open Chrome settings
2. Go to:
   • Privacy and Security
3. Enable:
   • HID device permissions

After enabling:

• Reconnect the keyboard
• Refresh the web driver page

Security Software Blocking the Device

Windows Defender or third-party antivirus software may block device communication.

Recommended actions:

• Add MCHOSE HUB to firewall whitelist
• Temporarily disable antivirus for testing
• Check Windows Defender blocked apps list

Firmware Issues

A firmware glitch may also prevent the keyboard from being detected.

Force Firmware Reset Method

1. Unplug the keyboard USB cable
2. Press and hold:
   • ESC key
3. While holding the key, reconnect the USB cable
4. Keep holding for a few seconds

This may trigger a forced recovery or refresh mode.

If the Issue Still Persists

If none of the above methods work, please provide:

• Keyboard model
• Keyboard SN code
  (Located under the kickstand on the back of the keyboard)

This will help with further diagnosis.
