Connecting a Das Keyboard with only one USB connector
If you have a Das Keyboard with a split USB cable ending in two USB connectors, it is possible to use the keyboard as long as the connector with the keyboard icon on it is connected to your computer. If you want the USB hub to work, you will need to plug in the connector marked HUB.
Which Connector Does What
- Keyboard icon connector: Required. This connector lets you type.
- HUB connector: Optional. Plug this in if you want to use the USB ports on the keyboard.
Media Controls
On some models, the media controls also depend on the USB connection, so both connectors need to be plugged into your computer for them to work. If your media keys are not responding, see "Why Aren't My Media Keys Working?"
Still Having Trouble?
If your keyboard is not responding with the keyboard icon connector plugged in, try a different USB port on your computer, or try the keyboard on another computer. If it still does not work, please submit a ticket through our help desk:
