nelodiavolo Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Which keyboard model are you referring too? Try reinstalling the drivers. Does the same thing occur if you try another USB port? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
movieman03 Posted June 8, 2013 Author Share Posted June 8, 2013 Wow..sometimes I amaze myself!!! sorry Its the Corsair Vengeance K70 and I have tried multiple USB ports, there are no drivers for this KB and the product page does not list Win 8 as a compatible OS :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nelodiavolo Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 No worries man, Maybe try going into the control panel>Computer Management>System Tools>Device Manager>Keyboards, Expand Keyboards and from the dropdown you will see your device listed. Right click on it and select uninstall. If you see more than one keyboard device, remove them all. Then right click on Keyboard (from the device manager) and select Scan for Hardware Changes. It should reinstall the keyboard. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
movieman03 Posted June 8, 2013 Author Share Posted June 8, 2013 did not work...errr there were 3 there. I removed all of them and re-scanned and did not fix the problem.. but ty so much for replying to the thread :) I am just glad I will be moving back to my normal win 7 computer and will not have to deal with this anymore...but I know that eventually I will be installing Win 8 on my main rig :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nelodiavolo Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 That is quite bizarre. I use a K95 on Windows 8 64bit with no issues like that. Any other K70 users with that problem out there? The K70 should support Windows 8 since it came out well after the Windows OS. Windows 8 has a build in restore that you can try an use. I think its called a System Refresh. It will basically reinstall the windows OS files while keeping your programs intact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toasted Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 Make sure the Windows 8 Keyboard settings are set to the K70's layout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
