That's quite a bit of current for just a keyboard...

What, you mean it's not normal for a keyboard to draw more power than most computer PSUs can supply? hahaha

It must be a keyboard with a built in heater for use in the arctic. Next step in the evolution from USB cup warmers.

"Microsoft Corporation.
Use May Result In Injury"

And it needs a 100 Amp feed... uh, Microsoft? This doesn't sound very user friendly.

Look for a button on the keyboard that says "Weld"; that could explain things.

It's a Microsoft product. It's not going to have a handy button that does exactly what you expect.

Ctrl-Windows-V to weld, Ctrl-Windows-X for the plasma cutter. Once you're welding, the Start button to stop. smile

This is why we look at the keys when typing these things. Otherwise we will ask to draw 6 and 2/3 more current than the house fuse will let us.
