Something I learned a few weeks ago (after many years of using USB) is that usually cables have the USB logo or marking on the "right side" up. So if you don't know which one is the right side up, the one with the logo should win.

Might help some other lost souls here :)

or the port on your keyboard is upside-down. -_-
