USB-C Port glitchy AF on my Drop SHIFT, arrrrgh help
As above, my keyboard routinely drops connection with my computer; I've tried three different computers, they're not the issue. It resolves itself after being "hard reset" (unplugged), but it's driving me insane because obviously it acts up more when I need it most. All drivers seem to be up to date, any thoughts? (I've also changed the cable, please ppl)

Connected to the iMac 5k is a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 audio interface, a pair of Yamaha HS5 monitors and pair of Bose QC15 headphones for listening and tracking. Not in the picture is my Blue Microphones Baby Bottle mic, an Apple Magic Keyboard and a Magic Trackpad. Software wise I use Avid's Sibelius, Steinberg's Dorico and Apple's Logic Pro X for music composition and recording.
I also have an iPad Mini 2, 64 GB, and when not using it as an iPad I have it connected to one of my computers through Duet Display to serve as a touchscreen display or a MacBook Pro 2016 style Touch Bar.
Now to address some things:
1) Yes, I know a lot of people hate macs. I personally like them enough to believe the cost is justified, and some of the software I prefer (such as Logic Pro X) is exclusive to macOS.
2) Sorry for the poor lighting in the image. I couldn't make it any brighter in this part of my room.
3) I understand the cable management's bad. If anyone has any tips to make cable management easier, would you mind telling me in the comments?
