My Logitech K100 keyboard is not working with Raspbian. I first installed the NOOBS OS available at http://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads. After booting into NOOBS I installed Raspbian. But after rebooting my keyboard was not working. It didnt work in NOOBS either. I had to use my mouse. But my keyboard worked when I installed Arch Linux. I wish to use Raspbian and not Arch Linux. What should I do ?

Here are all of the verified Logitech keyboards:
Logitech
Comfort Wave 450, labeled 100 mA (M/N Y-U0001, P/N 820-001725, PID SC951C40001)

older model 867777-0403 may need dwc_otg.speed=1 added to cmdline.txt to avoid dropped/repeated keys and dropped mousepad taps/clicks (B)
after Raspbian dist-upgrade about 12/12/12, if /lib/udev/rules.d/97-bluetooth-hid2hci.rules exists and di Novo Edge fails to respond, edit tail of line after "# Logitech devices" in that file from c71[34bc] to c71[bc] to ignore c713 and c714 (do not wordwrap long line), then it works fine

as you can see, the Logitech K100 keyboard is not a verified peripheral. It could be possible that Arch Linux has a driver that Raspbian is missing.
One thing you could try is updating your system:
1) ssh into Raspberry Pi from computer, for example:
ssh [email protected]
2) then update your system:
aptitude update && aptitude upgrade
see: How do I upgrade Raspbian?
To be honest, your best bet is to just buy a different keyboard that is on the verified peripherals list. This way you know it will work on your Raspberry Pi.

Just to let others who are about to purchase the K230. It is now on the verified keyboards list: elinux.org/RPi_USB_Keyboards– sunn0Jan 4, 2015 at 11:39
Initially I had the same problem with editing in VI editor raspberry pi (insert key,arrow keys etc..not working properly). I tried doing dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration
but it did not work for me.
I then installed vim editor (using sudo apt-get vim
), surprisingly every key started working properly in both vim and vi editor from then on.
Please note, that several Logitech Keyboards, like the G15 Series are consuming 300mA and above. The Raspberry PI does not support Power comsumption on these levels without an external USB-Hub.

That is not necessarily true. You can get at least 500 mA on the +/2/3 model with
max_usb_current=1
set inconfig.txt
- if the Pi's power supply provides it (of course).– Ghanima ♦Sep 13, 2016 at 16:36

does it see the keyboard? Can you see it under/sys/class/input/
?
