Tried that and it makes ZERO difference. In my test today, I went into the BIOS with another keyboard.. But my K70 was unresponsive (With a flashing white light) irrespective of switch position.. Its only when Windows boots that the flashing light goes out, the key lights come on and the keyboard becomes responsive.

I have owned a K70 for years and been happy.. And I was using it with a fairly old ASUS motherboard. One of the only things I didn't like was that it didn't always work during POST and I just accepted that, perhaps as a fault of the MB. I have just changed to a 'new' computer, based on an old, but powerful HP server.. And I was disappointed to see I have the same problem. Its not the end of the world, but its the last problem I need to fix. I set about proving it today and with the help of a USB keyboard, I can confirm that the K70 simply don't work during POST or in the BIOS.. The whole time I am there there is a white light flashing at the top. I have tried moving the switch to BIOS and it doesn't help... So I have given up and will source a seperate USB keyboard for the times I need to get to the BIOS. But its niggling me and I wonder if there is a solution. I know this is a known/legacy problem, but surprised that in 2020 its still a thing? Does anyone have any thoughts? Or should I just stick with another USB keyboard for the occasional time I need to do "maintenance"? Jon

I want to put my computer to sleep more oftehn than I do and would like a key to do it. On the K70 there is no 'sleep' key, but I wonder if I could add a button combination to do it. I read a post back in Jan of someone whos computer sleeps when he did Esc+F1 and he went to lengths to get rid of this, eventually removing an 'action'. https://forum.corsair.com/forums/showthread.php?p=1029444 I want to do exactly this (and Esc+F1 would be ideal).. So is there a way to do it using the current iCue software? And if so, how?
