## [Problem: A supported keyboard or mouse is not working with SignalRGB](https://docs.signalrgb.com/troubleshooting/keyboard-or-mouse-not-working#problem-a-supported-keyboard-or-mouse-is-not-working-with-signalrgb)

### [Solution:](https://docs.signalrgb.com/troubleshooting/keyboard-or-mouse-not-working#solution)

If your RGB keyboard or mouse is on the [supported device list](https://signalrgb.com/devices/), but does not work properly in SignalRGB, try the following steps.

- Close SignalRGB. Right click on the icon in the system tray, and select Quit.

- Launch the original app that controls your keyboard/mouse. For example, if you are using a Corsair keyboard, launch iCUE.
- Delete any **onboard profiles** that might be saved to the device. This process will differ depending on the keyboard or mouse you’re using.
- If available: set the device to software control mode.
- If available: force a firmware update on the device.
- If possible, **delete** all lighting effects **or** set the device’s lighting to **solid black** / **#000000.**
- Quit the original app and make sure that it is fully closed by checking that it is not in Task Manager.
- Re-launch SignalRGB.

If your device still doesn’t react to the effects, please try using a different USB port.
