Update Drivers
It is quite possible that the drivers for your Redragon S101 keyboard are either corrupted or outdated. So you need to update the drivers to the latest version.
Open Device Manager and go to keyboard drivers.
Here go to keyboard drivers and select the update option. Make sure you’re connected to the internet so Windows can search for the latest drivers and install them automatically.
Re-initiate Drivers
If updating the driver doesn’t help, then you might have to re-initiate the driver. This will remove all copies of Keyboard drivers currently installed and will install a fresh copy of drivers so any driver related issues are resolved.
Open Device Manager and go to keyboard drivers.
Here uninstall all keyboard related drivers.
Now unplug your keyboard from the computer. Restart your computer, turn off internet/wifi and plug in your Redragon S101 keyboard. This will force windows to install local keyboard drivers which will fix the issue.
Check USB Composite drivers
If your keyboard drivers are all right, you also need to make sure that the USB port drivers are also functional. In many cases, the Port you use for your keyboard installs an additional driver named – ND-tech USB Adapter which is causing the issue.
Open Device Manager and go to Universal Serial Bus controllers.
Here select ND-tech USB Adapter and click on update driver.
In the next tab, choose Browse my computer for the driver software option.
Now it will show you a list of available drivers, select the “USB Composite Device” option and click on the Next button.
This will install the default USB port drivers and hopefully, the issue of Redragon S101 not working anymore will be fixed.
Remove Windows 10 Anniversary edition update
Many users have reported that the keyboard issue is after they update their Windows 10 to the anniversary edition. Microsoft has released many patches and updates after that, so make sure you update your Windows to the latest version.
Check Hardware Damage
If none of the above methods works for you, then it’s quite possible that your keyboard has hardware damage. It usually happens with water damage, in case you accidentally have spilled your juice or coffee over the keyboard.
If the keyboard is still in the warranty period, we recommend you to request for a replacement or repair.
Conclusion
These are some working methods to fix Redragon S101 not working anymore issue. In most cases, the issue is bound to be driver related only, but in a few cases, it can be due to hardware damage also. Make sure you take proper care of the keyboard and clean it from time to time using a dry cloth or tissue to maintain proper hygiene.
