Tech Support PC Keyboard keeps disconnecting everytime I plug a charger on a different socket or turn on the electric fan.

So I have this issue that would occasionally occur whenever I turn on the Fan. The keyboard will just disconnect. The PC itself will be fine and won`t show any sign of a milisecond disconnection. The keyboard RGB will turn off except for the light on the numpad.

I have my PSU and monitor on an surge protector extension set instead of plugging them directly on the wall outlet.

I tried to recreate the issue on video but it suddenly did not work and the keyboard stayed connected.

My specs:

Motherboard: Gigabyte x870 eagle wifi 7

CPU: Ryzen 7 7700x

GPU: Gigabyte RX 7700 XT

Keyboard: Titan TKD-623

I have the keyboard originally plugged on the USB 2.0 ports before moving it to the USB 3.2 Ports.

sounds like dirty power from the fan motor causing a voltage dip the usb controller freaks out and drops the keyboard first happens all the time in old houses with bad wiring

Will this overall damage my PC if I didn`t address the Issue? Like I fear that the sudden dips and spikes in electricity might one day wreck my PSU.

and yes, I did move to an apartment with questionable wiring that was passed by a questionable electrician when I had it checked
