ST7A Bad Karma Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 I have the exact same issue. When I boot my system the keyboard lights up, all appears peachy until I touch the keyboard then everything goes black as in no lights, and the keyboard doesn't work. The only fix is to unplug the USB connection and plug it back in. If I put my computer on sleep I have to repeat the same process when it wakes up. What's hilarious is when I put my computer to sleep, if I hit the space bar on my keyboard the system wakes up, yet I have to unplug and plug back in the USB connection for the keyboard to actually work. So the space bar is recognized to wake my computer, but the keyboard's not actually working? Windows 10 here, everything on my system is up to date. Please don't insult us and tell us the problem is with our system, it's Win 10 and/or the current drivers for the K70. Everything has been working just fine with my keyboard until either a Windows update or the RGB update on 02/08/2016. I'm pretty sure I updated to the latest K70 driver about 2 weeks ago. There was also a Windows update about the same time frame so I'm not sure which update caused the problem. About a week ago I also getting the K70 update box when my system starts and of course it automatically fails when I start the update. I'm then redirected to "force" update. When I open CUE and que up the update it says I'm up to date, so what's that all about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ST7A Bad Karma Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 Here's a new one. Win10 user here. 1. When computer is shut down, I hit the main power switch and cut all power to my system. 2. Power back up, start up my computer, my keyboard works! If I put my system in sleep mode, when it wakes back up my keyboard stops working and isn't recognized. If I shut down and dont cut the power, when I start back up my keyboard doesn't work and isnt recognized. The only fix when my computer is running is to unplug the USB connection then plug it back in, voila my K70 works. How's my keyboard recognized when I cut power to my computer when it's shut down then start up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StillAlive Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 The same problem K70, the keyboard does not turn on always have to constantly disconnect and reconnect. There are solutions to this problem? Win10 x64 pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marian4q Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 I have the same issue for 2 yr now. It is a lottery at start up. Sometimes BIOS does not detect keyboard and I must unplug and re plug on Win10 Logon screen to make it work. I tried on other Notebook and Desktop, same thing. Even a couple of times the keyboard was stuck with the blinking 3 white LED at the top and I had no other option but to re flash the firmware. At this point I think it could be related to juice from motherboard USBs not delivering enough power to the keyboard, maybe there is a capacitor or something defected.

Corsair Employee Corsair Nick Posted June 13, 2018 Corsair Employee Share Posted June 13, 2018 Double check to make sure the BIOS switch is in the (1) position at the top next to the cables. If you still continue to have issues, try reaching out to our Technical Support staff for a hard firmware reset. They will be able to provide you with the necessary files. https://support.corsair.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How different from standard firmware update. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee Corsair Hotpot Posted June 15, 2018 Corsair Employee Share Posted June 15, 2018 Hard reset has you manual remove and apply a new firmware file for the keyboard. Sometimes doing a firmware update on the software doesn't fully remove the old firmware which ends up having the same issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oz1sqt Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 I have worked around the problem by putting both USB plugs direct in the MB, and put in a dongle for a old wireless USB keyboard. Be curse my BIOS did not find any keyboards when i only used the K70 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
