New keyboard wakes up my iMac

I got a new USB keyboard (non-apple) for my computer. It keeps waking up my computer shortly after it has been put to sleep. To double check that this is the problem, I switched keyboards between the my two desktop iMac, and sure enough, the problem went with the new keyboard. Nothing else has changed.


Is it just a bad keyboard that I should return to be replaced, or is there something I can do to fix it?

iMac, macOS 10.13

What is the brand and model of the new keyboard?


One thing you can try before returning the keyboard is an SMC reset
