Tater72 Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Dear Corsair, Please let us know you have another software update in the works that will be out very very soon. You are about to get a ton of returned mice as the return dates get close. The first software was disappointing. This latest update sounds like it's even worse than the first... I'm not about to even try installing it if it won't do one very simple function: a held key-press NOT a repeating tap. Examine the 'ALT' key in a notepad file if you are having a difficult time considering this an important option or can't understand the difference in a keyboard assignment and a macro. Those that use Ventrilo understand. Make it happen or just stick to making RAM and PSU's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellowbeard Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 It's probably a good idea to try the new software before deciding it does not work. Also, keep in mind that it is a beta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should probably try the software also, seems like none from Corsair did... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're working on this. Constructive input and bug reporting is useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tater72 Posted January 12, 2012 Author Share Posted January 12, 2012 Then it DOES simulate a held key-press? I hope you'll forgive my hesitancy due to all the other people that have posted here and said it does not after they tried it, but by your recommendation I will give it a whorl.

persentio Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 You CAN get a macro to simulate a regular keypress. The problem however, comes with sustains and releases. For now, SHIFT, ALT and CTRL all do not 'release' properly and continue sending a held down signal until you either press the shift key on your keyboard or you close the program in which you activated it in. See this video that I made. Shows the difference between pressing and holding an actual key versus a macro made for 'press and hold till unpressed' http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DnpWchNn8qo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted January 12, 2012 Corsair Employees Share Posted January 12, 2012 Thank you for the feedback it is greatly appreciated. I'm working with our software team right now about the keypress issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rigel2112 Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Thank you for the feedback it is greatly appreciated. I'm working with our software team right now about the keypress issue. Good news. If they manage to fix this it will go a long way with users and I would keep mine as long as they were working on the other issues too. I can tell you one thing nobody is going to want to keep the keyboard once they realize it can't do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
