I am using Plasma wayland with Fedora. I have two USB keyboards. The one from Logitech works with no problem. The other is from Microsoft. Its lsusb description is ID 045e:0750 Microsoft Corp. Wired Keyboard 600 The Microsoft keyboard, which I prefer, works everywhere except inside Plasma. I can use it after I boot the computer, within GNOME, or even to enter my password from sddm. But as soon as I enter Plasma, it's not recognized. None of the keys has any effect. The Logitech keyboard does function, however, without problem. I'm running on wayland. I wanted to try it on the X11 version of Plasma, but Fedora does not supply this. This occurs no matter how I start up plasma, whether from sddm, gdm, or the startplasma-wayland command. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Plug in my Microsoft USB keyboard. 2. Start Plasma. 3. OBSERVED RESULT Keyboard does not function. I log out using the mouse. EXPECTED RESULT The keyboard functions. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: Linux 6.9.0-0.rc6. Plasma 6.0.4 (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 6.0.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 24.02 Qt Version: 6.7 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION I'm currently signed into GNOME, so that I can use my preferred keyboard. I am running Fedora Rawhide, although the problem is also present in Fedora 40. I filled in the the KDE, Plasma, and Qt version fields based on the version numbers in the RPM packages. I think this is what you were looking.
Please close this issue. It is almost certainly not a bug. It occurred to me that this may be a problem with my configuration. I logged into Plasma as a guest user that I previously created to test this. Indeed, the Microsoft keyboard functions properly for this user. I'll see if I can find the problem in my config and cache files. If I can't, I'll delete all the Plasma files and restore my desktop. It's a bit of a pain, but I've done it before, and it's not too bad.
