peeledbanan Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Hello everybody, i bought my RGB Strafe a little over 2 years ago and it has always served me well. Until now. I don't have any warranty on it anymore which makes this problem a little bit harder for me to fix. The whole thing started with my "a" key acting weird, sometimes it registered one key stroke as two, or it didn't react at all. But occasionally it worked normally. After some time i got fed up with it and i changed to a different, older keyboard as a substitute. In the few weeks my Strafe was unplugged, the problem has somehow worsened. I tried it out yesterday, and now the scattering has spread to almost every key on the board. My suspicion is, that this is some kind of software related problem, based off the fact that the scattering has somehow spread. I do not believe it's possible that a mechanical defect on one key causes all other keys to fail. I have already used the CUI to try and update and reset the fimware on the keyboard. Nothing helped. UPDATE: The reset buton located on the back of the keyboard doesn't seem to have any effect. Am i interpreting this problem wrong? Any help on what to do and how to possibly fix my beloved keyboard would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangeGeek Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Try resetting the firmware manually as quoted by 'LLama71' in this forum post: http://forum.corsair.com/v3/showthread.php?t=162123 "Unplug the keyboard While holding escape, plug it back in After CUE sees it as being in recovery mode (or something like that), you can release escape Force-update its firmware Test again to see how it behaves These steps will re-flash its microcontroller."

StrangeGeek Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Thank you for your answer! Sadly CUE does not dtect my keyboard at all while holding down escape. What should i do now? Did you ever eat above the keyboard, spill something in it or get anything in the switches or pcb (e.g. the gap bellow the space bar)? It could be something shorting out.

peeledbanan Posted August 29, 2018 Author Share Posted August 29, 2018 No, i never eat in front of my computer, as i am not an animal :D But seriously, i never spilled anything on my keyboard and the spaces between are fairly clean. As i said, i don't believe that this is a hardware problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As i said, i don't believe that this is a hardware problem. Did you ever uninstall the HID driver's? And have you tried using it on another PC? Oh, and also, can you change the polling rate of your board through iCUE? Not sure if the strafe has a setting for that through software. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees Corsair Rick Posted August 29, 2018 Corsair Employees Share Posted August 29, 2018 Hey peeledbanan, I'd suggest submitting a ticket at support.corsair.com and request for a manual flash of the firmware. It sounds like that's the next thing to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peeledbanan Posted August 30, 2018 Author Share Posted August 30, 2018 I will do that, thanks to everyone that tried to sort this out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
