DoomslayerCH Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Hi everyone, Sunday I wanted to format C:\ and set my thumbdrive as 1st boot device. So I reboot and slam DEL during POST in order to get to the BIOS, after 5 failed attempts, I started slamming F8 in order to get to the boot menu. I failed again 5 times. I repeated the same trials in wired mode, all failed. I finally unplugged my Logitec USB Keyboard from my office PC, slammed DEL during POST and got to the BIOS on first try. Does anyone else experience this? If I had the part# at hand I'd have opened a ticket at the support. I'll do so tonight when I get home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee Corsair Hotpot Posted January 15, 2019 Corsair Employee Share Posted January 15, 2019 All our keyboards have a BIOS mode for older systems. Depending on what keyboard you have it will either have a polling switch near the cable on the top or you hold F1+Winlock for 10 seconds and let go. THe Scroll lock indicator will blink when it's in BIOS mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoomslayerCH Posted January 16, 2019 Author Share Posted January 16, 2019 Ok thank you for this information. I will try this out. Were are customers supposed to learn this trick? There is no user manual here https://www.corsair.com/us/en/Categories/Products/Gaming-Keyboards/Wireless-mechanical-Gaming-Keyboards/K63-Wireless-Mechanical-Gaming-Keyboard-%E2%80%94-Blue-LED-%E2%80%94-CHERRY%C2%AE-MX-Red/p/CH-9145030-NA Only the hick start guide and it does not say anything about bios mode.

It worked but it is easier to just plug in a wired plain KB. Edited February 9, 2019 by Josey Wales Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earzmax Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 F1 + win lock key is not putting my k63 into bios mode. Is this keyboard compatible with ps4? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
