Solution: • Check that the keyboard you are using is connected properly to the Switch. • Check that the USB cable between the Switch and the computer is completely connected. • Try connecting to a different USB port on the computer. • If you are using keyboard software that was included with your keyboard, uninstall it and then reinstall.
