ExoticArbiter Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 Hi everyone! Hope you all had a great Christmas! I am writing here today to try and recieve guidance on what i should do regarding my Corsair K70 LUX RGB (Cherry MX Brown) keyboard. I had purchased this keyboard as a replacement for the K70 RGB (non LUX, Cherry MX Red) that i unfortunately RMA'd because of key chatter and CUE incompatibility, and i had thought that i would have fixed my issues with the LUX right? Wrong, It seems that i am having a different issue with this one which i will explain in points, but please be aware that i am new to mechanical keyboards and Cherry MX switches in general. - Issue #1: High Frequency Noises emitting from the keyboard A rather bizarre issue, but if i rest my wrist on the wrist-pad and begin to type, it emits a "screeching" noise if you will, I'm almost certain that this isn't supposed to happen. - Issue #2: Springy Noises coming from keys I believe this is called "Ping" and i may be experiencing it on my keyboard, on release of a key i can faintly hear a noise similar to that of a spring being pinged. (Hence the name of the issue i suppose). I am not sure if this is normal or not on Cherry MX Brown keys. - Issue #3: CUE Compatibility I am not sure if this is my keyboard, CUE itself or something on my PC thats doing this but i am experiencing a issue where most of the time CUE states that no device has been found, or simply doesn't show a message at all, leaving my supposed RGB keyboard to default to the red and white WASD and arrow keys. Since i am using a ASUS Strix Z270F motherboard i plugged only the keyboard cable into the USB3.0 port. Any help regarding any of these issues would be greatly appreciated, I am sad to see this happen as Corsair usually make sick products! If it turns out that i have to RMA this keyboard as well, how would i go about doing so as I am from the United Kingdom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toasted Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 1. Try turning off the keyboard lighting. Does the noise stop? 2. See; http://forum.corsair.com/v3/showpost.php?p=758403&postcount=22 3. What motherboard are you using? Is the scroll lock indicator flashing? Try moving the polling switch to BIOS and then back to 1. Does that change anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
