You do not need it.

Thanks to @Brett82 for doing a few tests on his AIO and he has gotten all the devices to work numerous times and it was simply just interference from all the other components picking up on the Data Lines. He twisted the data lines and has since had no issues with wifi or anything, please give this a try @hueblo

Twist the data lines to the pi0 or twist the lines to the usb port? Or both? @Brett82 are there pics? Awesome if it works.

twist all data lines in your build eg green and whites together

Twisted pair cabling is a type of wiring in which two conductors of a single circuit are twisted together for the purposes of canceling out electromagnetic interference (EMI)
If the wires ran just parallel they would form a (narrow) loop which could pick up magnetic interference. But thanks to the twists the orientation of the wires with respect to the field changes continuously. An induced current will be cancelled by a current with the opposite sign half a twist further.
Suppose you have a disturbance working vertically on the twisted wire. You could regard each half twist as a small loop picking up the disturbance. Then it's easy to see that the next tiny loop sees the opposite field (upside down, so to speak), so that cancels the first field. This happens for each pair of half twists.

Unfortunately this solution did not work for me. I twisted all usb green and white wires including the ones leading from the pi. Only keyboard working. Has it worked for anyone else?

This one has been tested and works with the twisted data line method:

Also these have been tested too:

Belkin f6d4050 v2

@holder
@Brett82

Definitely on to something. The AIO seems to be detected every time now, before it would work intermittently our would not work when audio was hooked up (haven't hooked it up since this fix). Twisted all the data wires and still having the issue. I also tried hooking up the usb hub that works to one of the usb ports off the AIO creating some kind of usb inception and it seemed to work initially but then it reacted the same. I will definitely try those other ts steps you suggested this weekend.
