Hello,
I am posting for the first time on this forum. Before stating the problem, I'll explain my work-from-home setup. I frequently switch between personal (Dell XPS 15 9570) & work laptop (Dell Latitude 7390) so I recently bought a USB Type C hub to make this switching easy. I've hooked my peripherals to a hub. A single USB-C cable goes into either of my laptops depending on my needs.
The peripherals I use are:
a) Dell - Full HD monitor (1080p @ 60Hz)
b) HyperX Alloy Mechanical Keyboard - Wired (USB 2.0)
c) Logitech MX Master 3 mouse (Wireless)
d) USB Type C Hub (Belkin Model No. - F4U092btSGY)
Problem - The mechanical keyboard randomly registers duplicate keystrokes. This happens across many keys so it's unlikely that its a mech. switch problem. Also, it happens only when I connect the keyboard via the hub - it works just fine when I directly hook it up to either of my laptops. Sometimes the keystrokes are dropped or registered very late. This also happens when I connect the mouse using a bluetooth dongle. I've tried reinstalling keyboard drivers on both laptops but it didn't help. A replacement USB hub didn't solve the problem either.
Seeking advise on what might be wrong.
