Keyboards that work with Nexys4 boards
Nexys4 boards are quite finicky when in which USB keyboards they want to talk to, so this page will share user experiences on what keyboards have and haven’t worked.
Please report your working Keyboards on the MEGA65 discord #nexys! It would be best if you can include the output of lsusb -v with your report (or powershell Get-CimInstance -ClassName Win32_PnPEntity on Windows, or ioreg -r -c IOUSBHostDevice -l on Mac OS).
General advice:
Use a plain and simple Keyboard without any extras like Hubs, Media Keys, etc.
