pum Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 The title of this thread, the LEDs on my keyboard remains on even after I shut down my computer. Despite the pretty lights I'd prefer not to have the lights remain after I'm finished with it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blurryphoenix Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 I've had some weird situations where this happens too. I have Win8, and if I shut down from the login screen, the lights stay on. However, if I'm logged in to the computer and shut down from there, it kills the lights (unrelated note, my Blue Snowball mic stays on regardless).

Levest28 Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 I have a blue snowball and my windows 8 does the same thing! Shutdown while logged in turns off my keyboard, but the little red LED on my snowball remains on. On a side note, wearing red/blue 3d glasses and making your keyboard red and blue is... an interesting effect lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelKenz Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Press the button that adjusts the brightness of the led's until they are off..that's how i do it :) ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PEagle Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 The problem can be solved in the bios (I had that on my laptop and it was draining all the battery). You have to disable "usb charging" (if my memory is well) That is an option that will make your computer still supply power to usb ports even when the computer is turned off.

Yeah that's what I've been doing. But as all of us with this light issue I'm pretty sure we would all prefer it if the keyboard would just shut down without us having to manually turn it off!

Hmm, you're going to have to be specific with your suggestion I'm afraid. Many motherboards have different BIOS's, I may not have the same BIOS as you so I may or may not even have that option in mine haha. Just to get a better idea as to what BIOS you have, what motherboard do you have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PEagle Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 That was on my Asus G74... Option may be named otherwise, on my G74 it's named "USB charge". Check, it's quite explicit sometimes. It's not mine, but it's the same option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blurryphoenix Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Awesome, this is definitely worth checking out. Although I've gotten used to seeing the red light from my Snowball mic, it can't be great on my power bill... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProfeZZor X Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Glad to see that I'm not the only person that's had this issue. Honestly though, for the first few months that I've had it, I've just been tossing a dark t-shirt over mine. The problem is that my wave profile freezes upon shut down, and I end up having to reboot the computer to get it animated again... But as some of you mentioned, adjusting the brightness light also seems to work too. Lately, that's what I've been doing just before I put my pc to sleep. If I don't turn off the light before putting my pc to sleep, the lights end up staying on all night, or until I remove the pc from sleep mode.

crosspatch Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 My previous keyboard (from a different manufacturer) always used to turn the illumination off when I shut my Win7 laptop or my Win8.1 PC down, or put them in sleep mode. My new K70 RGB does not. It is annoying. As PEagle suggested, I do have a BIOS setting to disable USB charging. However, I don't feel I should have to do this. Maybe I want USB charging enabled... And I don't want to have to manually turn the keyboard lights off every single time. And my M65 RGB mouse (which also stays illuminated) provides no way to turn the lights off, short of unplugging it. How long is the life of these LEDs supposed to be? 50,000 hours? That's about 5.5 years. I expect at least that much use out of this keyboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inheritance Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Depending on your mobo there might be a few ports that arent always powered. Thats how it is on mine. But at the same time its 5 years old so they might have decided all USb ports need power always lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rvh Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 This issue will be resolved in the next firmware update just a quick headsup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notargaryen Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 I have a K65 and this started happening just today. I unplugged everything on my setup to clean up cables a bit, plugged everything back in, and now my keyboard stays on even after shutdown, and the CUE won't even recognize it unless I unplug the keyboard and plug it back in. I have remedied it a bit by only having the USB cord with the keyboard logo on, but when my PC boots up it makes a noise when logging into windows 7 I've never heard before.

jumbo777 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Try a different USB port. Some of them are "always on". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srmd22 Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 This issue will be resolved in the next firmware update just a quick headsup. Well, it's a year later and the issue is still not freakin' resolved (and should never even have been an issue). Corsair is majorly sucking on this one. Love the build quality and lighting options, but jeez, get the basics right - turns a great product into a fairly irritating one. This is especially in addition to loosing scimitar connection after standby, and the long time is takes for the keyboard to set up on system start.

Rfpaes Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 I have a K90, and I've always that LED issue with it, but a week ago, something bad started to happen. Everytime I press a key on my keyboard, with my computer off, the lights turn on, but when I turn the computer on, the keyboard kinda die. It says the USB device cannot be recognized by windows, and I have to take it on and off countless times for it to be recognized again. Right now, I'm using a crappy microsoft keyboard instead of having to deal again with my K90. Just got tired of this thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
