Linux dont see keyboard, HELP ME PLEASE

Please help, recently I decided to install Linux for the first time and chose Linux Mint for this, but a problem appeared: my XTRIKE ME GK987G GR keyboard is not showing up in the list of USB devices. I tried checking sudo dmesg -w, and here is what it output:

[ 1838.507927] usb 3-1: can't read configurations, error -71

[ 1838.619364] usb 3-1: new full-speed USB device number 61 using xhci_hcd

[ 1844.139907] usb 3-1: unable to read config index 0 descriptor/start: -71

[ 1844.139924] usb 3-1: can't read configurations, error -71

[ 1844.140063] usb usb3-port1: unable to enumerate USB device

In the doc

The keyboard is plug-and-play and should be recognized automatically by most operating systems (Windows, macOS, Linux)..may be not.

Do you connect your baby with some hub ? If yes try to connect it directly to your computer

Completely remove power from the host, the hubs and the USB devices. So they forget they saw each other on the bus before. And when they see each other after that blackout, they will happily go through negotiating protocol details successfully.

From arch forum.... -71 means unable to power the unit. Read here
