Always Unplug

First, if you’re using a wired keyboard, you’ll want to unplug it from your computer, so there’s no power pulsating through it. If you have one of those keyboards where the cable disconnects entirely, take it out. It will make life easier for you without having to wrangle a cord. And if you’re using a wireless device like the Razer BlackWidow V3 Mini, make sure the connection switch is off. The last thing you want to deal with is accidentally hitting random keys while the board is actively connected to your computer.
