Strafe Connecting at Boot issue

[cactushydrocodone]

Hey,

I have a weird issue with my Strafe Non RGB from Corsair.
While boot, i have to slay on the keys on the keyboard like a speed addict, to provocate an usb hid error, so that the keyboard works. I already added the quirks parameter into grub and made the "0x4" change. but nothing helps.
I use archlinux and on every other distribution, it works out of the box, but not on arch.

Is there any logs or sysfiles i can look at to resolve this?
Thank you

@RaymondSchnyder in the kernel log files (arch linux uses systemd? If so, use journalctrl) search for ckb-daemon. Around messages from ckb-daemon you can find usb infos from the kernel.
They may bring you some more info. Up to now I did not have such an effect as you describe.

This is from a successfull boot with the "workaround" i found at boot (beat the keys on the keyboard like a insane person)
