Errorcode404 Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 I've had this keyboard for about two weeks, but only noticed it in the last week. At least one key will flicker red, white, or off, on average maybe one every thirty seconds, and sometimes it's a cluster in a small area. The A, S, D, and Caps Lock keys and the Menu key do it a lot more than the others though. The only time that it doesn't do this is when it is on static, without any reactive typing, leading me to believe that it might be a software problem. I'm using the latest firmware and version of CUE 2. I'd like to see if the problem can be solved before I look at RMA-ing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pante Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 Something like this? (not my video) There is this thread about that: http://forum.corsair.com/v3/showthread.php?t=152411 it seems to be software issue I have the same problem but less keys, num4 and play/stop media, and very rarely 'Enter'. Instead, with others color profiles the flicker were in the F key and some other one. I don't know if related to that flickering but in the logs there is a bunch reports with "cue.dev: Buffer write failed, 1. request timed out ", also some with "Buffer apply for Blue failed. request timed out for K70 LUX RGB" <- that sounds to me when it flicks but i dont know... http://i.imgur.com/YedhnIa.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inheritance Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 Thanks so much, this is exactly what is happening. I'm glad to know its not a hardware problem. Do you know of any fix? try a different usb port or different usb configuration. If you know which USB ports are controlled by the intel chipset i would use those.

I'm currently using the USB 3.0 Ports on the back of my motherboard (I have 4 3.0 and 2 USB 2.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
