K70 media keys essentially going on sleep mode

[ricky1370]

For the last week or so my media keys are on what feels like sleep mode. I have to spam press 3 or 4 at once a few times before they become functional again. If I don't use them for an hour or two I have to do the same thing again. Is this a know issue?

No this is not a common issue.

 

Are you able to test the keyboard on another computer? Do they work fine?

Sounds like a possible issue (known or unknown) with the media software you are using. Perhaps they are intercepting the media key events sent by the keyboard.

Tried plugging it into my laptop, same issue (mute + media keys not functioning). Is there a program I can use to check if the key is being recognized as pressed at all, rather than just not functioning properly? Seems a bit odd that all 5 go out at once.

 

All the keyboard testing programs online that I've seen don't include the media keys (for obvious reasons). Is there a custom corsair one?

There are free USB protocol analyzers. YMMV. Universal Serial Bus (USB) HID [Human Interface Devices] Usage Tables Version 1.12 of 28 October 2004 documents the media keys, so I don't expect this to be some custom Corsair communication; I would expect the keyboard would send the standard signals so that your computer system would know how to handle it even if CUE were not running.

I now have the exact sabe problema.

Did you find a solution?
