Why does my CM Storm Trigger flicker when playing games?

Recently I had purchased a CM Storm Trigger keyboard and experienced issues right off the bat. After plugging the keyboard into my computer a few times, it had finally connected and I was very excited to test it. Only then did I find out that the keyboard, itself, had issues. It flickers on and off to the point where typing was impossible; this would go on until the keyboard decides to turn off completely. Not only did the LEDs flicker on and off, but the keys did not respond. Apparently this issue only occurs when playing the game and when out of the game the issue vanished. I have tried the same game on another computer, but everything was normal. At this point I believe it is my computer, but since my computer hasn't had any issues with previous keyboards or any components; I kindly ask for suggestions toward fixing this problem. I have tried different USB ports on the computer and removing extra devices, but nothing works..

I have tried searching on this website for a solution to my problem, but there were unfinished threads and there were not many results on Google. I have tried contacting the company's customer service, but it was no help.

Here is a video showing my problem:

I would, but it works fine on another computer. I'm afraid if I get a new one it'll have the same issue.
