go to the device manager
activate the menu option "show hidden devices" or "show disconnected devices" or so - I don't know how it is named in English.
click on the plus before USB to show all USB devices
take a good look at the symbols in front of all lines - some symbols should be full, others should be "ghosted".
remove the lines of the ghosted drivers - this will remove the registration of those devices that are currently not detected.
repeat this (remove ghosted lines only) for all other sections of input devices (keyboard, mouse, HID) as well as drives and volumes
do NOT remove any line with a full symbol.

Test if the problem is gone, but do not yet change port if it isn't.

If the problem still happens, remove but do not reconnect your USB keyboard.
Now the device manage should again contain a few ghosted entries from your USB keyboard - remove them as well (right-click with mouse as you have no keyboard left)
Now check if there is any keyboard left in the device manager. If yes (possible on a laptop with integrated keayboard) then test if that keyboard now works correctly. If there are any keyboards still listed even with all physical keyboards removed, then remove them as well - they're wrong.

If you removed fully displayed keyboard registrations while your keyboard was disconnected, then select a refresh/search for new hardware BEFORE connecting the keyboard. There should be nothing reappearing - if it does then you should remember that one because it is most likely the cause of the problem.

After this, reconnect your USB keyboard and everything should work from now on.
If not or if something is not as I described, report the details here.

Damn you computer and shotty internet. So I had previously replied to this but apparently the computer and internet deemed it not necessry to post. So the results of that turned out to be not fruitful since when I did there was still a keyboard devce that wouldn't stay deleted. A different keyboard works just fine without having to plug it into a different port.

Then it's definately something on your keyboard, and it is most probably some added special function of that keyboard that causes this problem (the added function being the reason why that added driver can't stay deleted).

I doubt that anyone without access to your computer (physical access, not through internet) would be able to help here.
one last chance - if that is such a special keyboard it should have its own support from the company that produced it - ask there for help.
If that support doesn't exist I don't know who else might be able to help.

It's backlit, and has a port on top for an accessory plugin and I've already got what I need for it to work. Literally the only time it's ever not worked is when I try to play an RPG maker game. Maybe it's just vx ace I haven't tested if it's others too.

Just beat the last of us 2 last night and starting jedi: fallen order right now, both use unreal engine & when I say i knew 80% of jedi's buttons right away because they were the same buttons as TLOU2 its ridiculous, even the same narrow hallway crawl and barely-made-it jump they do. Unreal Engine is just big budget RPG Maker the way they make games nearly identical at its core lol.
