Louis8 Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 I have a real hatred when it comes to manuals on all these products , the manuals are always vague and never written in layman terms and never enough examples . But I have to admit the instructions for this k30 keyboard I bought is well written . But for some reason I followed the instructions on "Assigning keys "on page 9 and still cant get it to work . All I really want is to assign F1 and F2 to G5 and G6 and I don't care about any thing else. I run flight simulator X (FSX) and F1 brings the throttles to idle and F2 put the engines in reverse . Instead of reaching up to hit F1 or F2 hitting the "G" keys would be more convenient. I followed the screen shots but when I go to windows note pad to test them like the manual says nothing shows up .Am I missing anything here ?

Toasted Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Have you tried the G-keys in-game? Do they work fine? If they don't, make sure you save the profile to the K30 and enable hardware playback then try again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louis8 Posted March 6, 2014 Author Share Posted March 6, 2014 Just forget it cause I can't even get "Hardware playback" enabled . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toasted Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 It sounds like the software isn't detecting the keyboard. Open up Task Manager and see if you can find k30hid.exe. If not, go to the install folder and double click it. Does it help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louis8 Posted March 7, 2014 Author Share Posted March 7, 2014 I was wondering about that too, but I see it in task manager in the process list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toasted Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Have you tried reinstalling the software and tried a different USB port? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louis8 Posted March 8, 2014 Author Share Posted March 8, 2014 How did you ever come up with a name like toasted Ha. I went into programs and features and uninstalled it ,changed the USB port to plug it in, then put the software back in and I know it's the new one cause I had named the profile and called it "Flight Sim and now it says profile 1. How exactly to you save it to K30? cause I really don't know how and the manual says it should say Save to K30 but cant see it any where. And I cant put a check mark in "enable hardware playback still . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toasted Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Saving the profile to the K30 is done by clicking the "save to K30" button under the manage profiles tab. If hardware playback is greyed out, i'm also guessing that button would be greyed out as well. Click the "i" button at the top right hand corner, and post what it says here, also do you have any other kind of gaming software configuration software for other peripherals, e.g. mouse. If you do, temporarily uninstall it and see if the software can detect the keyboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toasted Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Temporarily uninstall the Razer mouse software and see if the software can detect the K30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
