Well, there you go, you (most likely) have a problem keyboard.  You've
already done your tests and found where the fault is.

The question is, do you replace it or try and fix it (which may not be
possible).  I see it's a programmable gaming keyboard model, that would
make the electronics a bit more complex, with more possibilities for
failure.  Also more possibilities for reprogramming its behaviour.

Has it been kept clean, any spills?  Does it get a lot of bashing in
games?

Is it plugged directly into the motherboard, or go through a hub.  With
a complex keyboard, especially an illuminated one, it would use more
power than a standard keyboard, and a shared hub might not be powering
it adequately.  Some motherboards use a hub between it's own sockets. 
When you see USB sockets bunched in pairs as a one-piece block, those
pairs may be sharing a common power supply, sometimes even more sockets
might be shared together.  Try the keyboard just by itself.
