For my work I have to work from home now. I got a "Chromebook", a device I am not familiar with, but so far I managed to buy an USB C adapter to HDMI to connect the device to my big screen, in order to work better on it. Also a standard USB mouse works fine.
Everything seems to work fine, except the USB keyboard I want to use. That keyboard is working fine on a pc, I just tested it and the pc immediately picks up the keyboard. When I plug it into the USB port of the (Acer) Chromebook it lights up for half a second but does nothing. And nowhere on the OS I can find an option that says, "use external keyboard" or something similar. But this is nonsense, because the mouse also directly works, and on the pc the same, I plug it in, and it works.
So, does anybody know how I get my USB keyboard to work on the Chromebook?
Please do note that I have this Chromebook from my employer so I cannot do anything that requires administrative privliges or removing/resetting items on it.
