Rant: Figuring out a fix for random USB disconnects
Honestly, I was troubleshooting a friend's setup where his mouse kept dropping out. Tbh, after digging around, I learned that power saving settings in Windows can turn off USB ports to save energy. Ngl, disabling that in Device Manager for each USB hub stopped the issue cold. It's a simple setting but it drove me nuts until I found it.

Oh man, that reminds me of my old wireless keyboard that would just freeze up. Took me forever to realize it was the receiver being too close to a power strip.

Blaming the power strip seems off. My receiver sits on a power strip and works fine. Might be your keyboard was just junk.
