Powback Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 I just updated Corsair Utility Engine and enabled the 16.8m color support. The flickering became apparent instantly. Here's the result on my new K95 keyboard. I found that these colors demonstrates the issue fairly well. I don't actually use these colors. Info * Software version: 1.5.108 * Firmware version 1.20 * CUE color settings ___ 16.8m colors enabled: * Near pressed key. * Pressed key at the opposite side ___ 16.8m colors disabled: * Near pressed key. * Pressed at the opposite side. ___ By pressing either - or + on the gfycat, you can adjust the playback speed.

Iceycold Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 These gifs make it a lot easier to see the issue, thanks. The flicker is pretty substantial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul S Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 The keyboard should have 3 modes mode 1=512 colour with animation support, mode 2=16bit colour with animation support, mode 3=32 bit colour no animation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
netsez Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 I started looking for a new keyboard a week ago and decided that I just MUST have an RGB backlight keyboard and this one looked awesome! However the more I read the forums here the more worried I get. Are people still happy with it? Does this flickering occur with the other two competing products? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Competitors don't flicker but their build quality is not as good as corsair's. I guess theres no perfect keyboard :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goat1 Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Your right,there is no perfect keyboard. I can say,I do not have the flickering issue with 16.8 mil colors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delslow Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Your right,there is no perfect keyboard. I can say,I do not have the flickering issue with 16.8 mil colors. Wait, so you have a different revision of the keyboard? Did Corsair silently update some hardware... like do they have a version 2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChuCho Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 this is happening to me too, it flickers when i use 16.1m colors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inheritance Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Wait, so you have a different revision of the keyboard? Did Corsair silently update some hardware... like do they have a version 2? No there is no v2 yet. The profile hes using isnt intensive enough to trigger the flickering Competitors don't flicker but their build quality is not as good as corsair's. I guess theres no perfect keyboard :) Well everyone wants something different from a keyboard. this is happening to me too, it flickers when i use 16.1m colors IF your using a really intensive profile odds are you will have to turn 16.8 mill colors off.

Yeah, just realized it works better with profiles with less colors or animations.. but it should work with every profile. Hope it gets fixed as the problem with the lighning freezing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except it's not: http://forum.corsair.com/v3/showpost.php?p=775531&postcount=10 Pretty sure Corsair wouldn't have provided an update if they knew it was going to hinder the hardware's main purpose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
