Ive got a Razer Deathstalker that isnt working after resuming from Sleep. I have tried setting all USB hubs to not power off to save power and have changed the power settings to have it where USB never enters standby. Its actually quite annoying to the point I almost want to return it. Everytime I have to restart my computer which isn't a problem with a total restart time of about 5 seconds but I still have to do it. Also unplugging the keyboard and plugging it back in will make it work but thats a little hard to do with my desk.
 
I'm sure it is but is BIOS is configured to allow USB wake? And have you tried moving the keyboard to another USB slot?

Before you even think of going and messing with the bios - Go take the keyboard and use it on a different computer. Let it fall asleep. Then test it there. If it works then there might be a problem. If not then its just the way the keyboard is then.
 
Well Ive checked my BIOS and cant find anything about the keyboard or USB. But I know I can put the computer to Sleep with the button and I can make it wake up by pushing a key, but after that it doesn't work. Could I have it plugged in a 3.0 slot instead of a 2 or the other way around?

asrock z77 extreme, correct ? Manual ftp://174.142.97.10/manual/Z77%20Extreme4.pdf

Page 68, 3.4.8 ACPI Configuration-
USB Keyboard/Remote Power On

USB Mouse Power On

USB 3 or 2 shouldn't matter when it comes to wake.
Question does the PC wake from your USB Mouse ?
 
Well Thanks for doing what I failed to do. Read the MANUAL! lol
Both of those were disabled and I thought, based on how it was worded in the BIOS that it was a literal power on, not a wake from Sleep function. Which I definitely didn't want. I put it to Sleep and woke it up and seems to be working ok now.

And yes it would wake from the Mouse and Keyboard but only the mouse would work. But seems to be fixed now.

Kool, good to hear
 
Well maybe I spoke too early, but woke up this morning and went to start the computer. Hit the spacebar and it woke up. Checked to see if it was working by opening Start menu and trying to type in the search box.. Notta thing. I tried moving it to another USB slot and if that doesnt work maybe Ill try putting it in one of the 3.0s.. I guess Ill just have the computer get shut off instead of going to sleep

Just to be sure we are on the same page. it went to sleep, keyboard did awake the system but after awake the keyboard wouldn't function?
Sorry man, thought we had this one nailed down, let me see if I can find any other info ( beginning to doubt your keyboard, any chance you have another USB keyboard you could test with ?
