  1. Yeah I'm finding it hard to believe they don't notice this in house. I had a few boards blatantly flickering lol. When I had family over a few weekends ago I was explaining to my cousin how my lock light indicators are freezing and he stopped me and said his Strafe freezes too with dynamic lighting profiles so he's been using static lighting effects (literally my exact problem on my K70 lol). It's possible some in large masses don't notice. I was complaining about these issues to my buddy and he didn't notice, then last week he tells me his lock light indicators finally froze on him lol. I've tested the K95 Platinum and haven't seen the lock lights freeze. It does show dropped packets, so I'm guessing it may be flickering, but at a rate I haven't noticed yet.
  2. If James checked his PMs he'd have logs and all of that info. Windows 10 (latest build), Gigabyte Z370 Gaming 7, 8700k, GTX 970, all drivers up to date. I've had it happen on 4 keyboards, 3 different motherboards, USB 2.0/3.0 and have several friends with the same exact issues. Idk what causes the lock light indicators to freeze, but I see buffer write fails for red/green/blue frequently in my logs and I'm guessing this is when it drops packets and it flickers. Some boards flickered worse than others, not sure why.
  3. Doesn't sound like it. I had the chance to try out the K95 Platinum and the caps lock freezing issue does not happen like it did on all of my K70s. I'm not sure if the lights flicker anymore, not to my eye that I have seen, but the logs do show some packets being dropped (which probably means it's still flickering lol).
  4. I've had some of the issues in this thread like the lock light indicators freezing. Never had any issues with Steam like the others here. They mention they were working on that problem but anything for the lock light indicators? I've seen literally nothing from Corsair I'm really getting sick of this. My lights also flicker randomly the wrong color in my RGB wave and I've had 3 RMAs and they all do it. I posted a thread about the flickering/lock lights and there are a few others on the first page here (http://forum.corsair.com/v3/showthread.php?t=176156 http://forum.corsair.com/v3/showthread.php?t=176072) but literally no help or statement on what is causing it and if it will be fixed. $170 keyboard and my lock light indicators can't even function properly.
  5. Still no word from the CUE guys about this? I even installed iCUE just for fun and it still has all of the same issues.
  6. I tried that a little while back and had no luck.
  7. Nope it's not the same. I don't mind and understand that. This however will have a smooth wave across for example and random keys will either not light up briefly or flash the wrong color. Agreed, blaming USB controllers seems a bit lame imo. And if that is the case, don't release boards without on board memory.
  8. http://forum.corsair.com/v3/showthread.php?t=165411 http://forum.corsair.com/v3/showthread.php?t=174510 http://forum.corsair.com/v3/showthread.php?t=163593 http://forum.corsair.com/forums/showthread.php?t=161119 Yup. I mean is this really ever going to be addressed by the CUE team or Corsair officially? This is really a joke. I've had 0 help with tech support on the issue. CUE manager doesn't even bother to answer me about this. You'll find someone in all of those threads first blaming garbage 3rd party USB controllers, and then when it's Intel's USB controllers they'll say USB 3.0 sucks. It happens on both 2.0 and 3.0. Some even bought USB hubs to try and fix the issues which is ridiculous, and the hub I tried makes the lighting stutter across the keyboard. Some threads even go as far back before the LUX K70 was released by a year or two. Most of the threads will say they are aware of the issue and working on a fix and years later nothing ever came of it and no word from Corsair. If they were aware of this like a few threads say and claim they cannot fix it on their end blaming USB controllers, why not start adding on board memory 1 profile at a minimum (I realize they finally did with the platinum). So they are selling an RGB keyboard that they are probably aware is going to drop packets on a bunch of setups and flicker. I have a really hard time believing they couldn't replicate these issues in house and didn't notice them. And to top that off I can't even use caps lock half the time because if they aren't already frozen on their own, tapping it once or twice freezes the lock light indicators.
  9. I'm having the same issue as you. I think aside from the way you found them to freeze there are other ways. Any dynamic lighting profile freezes mine every few minutes. Sometimes I don't even need to use any of the lock keys, go to use caps lock and they are already frozen. To get them working again I have to reset the board (BIOS mode back to normal polling rate switch). Sit there and just spam the 3 keys they'll probably freeze instantly or within 10-15 seconds or so if you are looking to just test if they'll freeze or not. I posted about this the other day: http://forum.corsair.com/v3/showthread.php?t=175626 I have Z370 and the K70, so I really don't know what this issue is tied to because it does not happen on my old PC (Z68 Gigabyte board). Other threads on this issue: http://forum.corsair.com/v3/showthread.php?t=135977 (from 2015 lol..) http://forum.corsair.com/v3/showthread.php?t=134647 (2014 same issue) http://forum.corsair.com/v3/showthread.php?t=132322 http://forum.corsair.com/v3/showthread.php?t=164783 (more recent 2017 thread) It's either they are entirely clueless what causes it or don't care lol
  10. I'm sure it's been mentioned before, but I registered to suggest this. The default rainbow wave would be so much nicer with more customization. I would love the following: -Ability to adjust speed other than slow, med, fast (numerical value like Advanced) -Customize colors in the wave (length of colors, amount of colors, and the actual colors, kind of like Advanced mode) -Brightness adjustments (again, like in Advanced) It's really a pain creating a rainbow wave in advanced. It throws one wave across the keyboard and it is difficult to get it to blend nicely and continuously repeat. I would love to add more speed than fast and decrease the length of the tail but this is not an easy task in the software. Also, can the demo mode get released that I've seen floating around on YouTube? The user made one is nice, but the Corsair one looks fantastic.
