Well to start i came home today after not using the keyboard in a few days, i plug it in and nothing happens, i tried every USB and nothing works on the keyboard. I checked my usbs with other things like my mouse and ipod and both connected perfectly. Now i tried plugging it in slowly and the keyboard turns on, but the keys do not work. There are 3 lights on the keyboard, all of which are turned on (the print screen/numlock key, the scroll lock key, and the caps lock key. All of them are turned on and i cannot turn them off.
PLEASE someone help me.

LOL.... hmm....
did you try another computer?
Your computer might have a bad power supply or bad motherboard, which would deliver unclean voltage to "usb" devices. leading to their demise..
Certain devices are more sensitive than others.. Especially low current devices such as keyboards..
For example your Iphone would be built to handle much more power, because it'd be charging via usb.
