So I've had my Leopold FC200RC (MX Blue) for about 2 years and sometimes the keyboard would bug out on me and my `, esc, 1, q, a, z, and tab key would just stop working while all other keys are fine. Sometimes it works when I reboot the computer not really sure why but now it has seem to completely stop working all together. Anyone have a similar problem or know of a possible fix?

if you're using the ps/2 converter, I hear that is usually the cause of those kinds of issues, if not, try a different usb port, or chord?

I am using USB and have tried different ports and different cords. Nothing seems to work and I have tried restarting 10 times to no effect. Thanks for the suggestion though
-
the switches may be faulty, do they all feel normal?
Did they all get the problem at once?
Did anyone spill any liquids into the board?
-
All the switches feel normal. The keys all dropped at once. I haven't spilled any liquid in.
In an odd way, I found a fix. I opened up the keyboard and unscrewed the USB input from the frame and plugged it in without the frame and all of a sudden it works fine. I am a bit confused but it works but now my frame is somewhat useless and there is a cable that just juts out. I will play around a bit more with it to see if I can determine exactly what happens
Edit: Thanks for all the help falcon and pixel
