Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

What is the power source. Can you try another USB-C cable. Bad power supply can be an issue.

Thank you for suggesting - but I tried several power supplies and different cables. They make no difference unfortunately. (For example I tried powered by my laptop got same results as when powered by a brand new raspberry pi 5 USB power supply)

  Gadgetguy said  After doing
> option keyboard us, 0, 0, 600, 50

I see:

Total of 6 Mbytes PSRAM available
> US USB Keyboard Connected on channel 1
> USB Mouse Connected on channel 2

So both keyboard and mouse are detected, but neither works


Try
OPTION KEYBOARD US,0,0,200,150
The repeat rate you are setting is extreemly fast.

Keyboards that contain other devices like USB hubs or track pads may not work. The PicoMite USB system is not a full version like Windows. Also, there are some RGB keyboards that don't work (I have one that appears as multiple USB devices so that it can have n-key rollover, which you can't have on USB2, never mind USB1 like the Pico, as it's too slow).

To confuse things even more, some powered hubs don't work if you use them with a Pico.

Thank you. Tried it. Not really different unfortunately.

Thank you. Yes, I am aware. But it seems that some people are using the exact same keyboard (Logitech K400) and it works for them. Hence my confusion. Of course I can use the keyboard that works - I was just hoping to use the Logitech one.

Which version are you using as firmware?

I am on RC23. Please note that I have the K400r model, which is very similar to the K400+ but not 100% the same.

Thank you so much for any ideas!

Logitech K400+ Works on RC23 HDMIUSB for me.
Only setup is
OPTION RESET HDMIUSB
Note: This is the first version of the reference design, no PSRAM option and no I2S

The VID/PID and recognised devices on the Logitech K400+
-----------------------------------
? MM.INFO(USB VID 1)      --> 1133
? MM.INFO(USB VID 2)      --> 1133
? MM.INFO(USB PID 1)      --> 50475
? MM.INFO(USB PID 2)      --> 50475
? MM.INFO(USB 1)          --> 1 (Keyboard)
? MM.INFO(USB 2)          --> 2 (Mouse)

A K400R is not a K400 or a K400+. Some keys are programmable. There is obviously different firmware in the keyboard and it is definitely a possibility that the K400R won't work even though the others do. We don't know these things until someone tries them, unfortunately. When your sample of K400R users is one it's very difficult to figure out what's happening!
