  1. How do you flash your firmware for a K70 rgb?

     

     

    I was told to flash my firmware in attempt to fix the issue my k70 rgb is having but I'm not sure how to do that?

    You need to flash it from the CUE software. In case CUE does not detect it there is a way to hard-flash the firmware to the keyboard but it involves a different process that only the Corsair support knows.

     

    Have you tried with CUE yet? You need to open it and go in SETTINGS > DEVICES > find your device in the list > hit the "Update Firmware" button.

  2. I've been patiently waiting for a passthrough keystroke on macros. My Prime example: I play BF4. I have set up a lighting scheme that blacks out any keys I dont use during the normal course of playing. However, I need/want all illuminated while typing, so I set up several extra modes that illuminate all keys to red for "all" chat, blue for "team" and green for "squad" which is awesome. the problem is, I want my enter key to both send the message (function AS a return!) as well as change my mode back to default. I can make it do one, or the other...but not both.

    There is a tutorial on how to do that editing the exported action file and then re-importing it. I can't fine the link right now thought, I'm on mobile.

  3. Update of firmware on K70 fails.

    Do you have a K70 non-RGB or the newer RGB version? This thread is only for the RGB version while that firmware update is for the old non-RGB one.

     

    And in case you have the old non-RGB version then you probably don't need it anyway, the FW update is quite old and all the keyboards being sold now are already updated to it from the factory most likely.

  4. Currently, when assigning a keystroke to any key, we are limited to only 2 modifiers (e.g. Shift, Alt, Ctrl).

    This means that I can assign a keystroke "Ctrl + Alt + 1" to a key, but I can't assign a keystroke "Ctrl + Alt + Shift + 1" to a key.

    Since I can actually press all 4 keys at once and have a game register the input, I doubt it's a hardware limitation. I presume this was a software design choice in CUE.

    Therefore, I'm requesting that this functionality be added to a future release of CUE.

     

    Thanks!

     

    I asked for the same a while ago. As a work around for now I'm recording macros instead.

  5. Better idea would be for CUE to have a auto clean function where it can delete any unused lighting or action. Then it could jsut list which lighting effects are used on the profile page

    Not practical, if you have a "cool" effect you want to use in a profile and forget about it such function would remove it.

  6. Ahhh okay, I thought you wanted the NA layout.

     

    UK layout with brown switches is available here if you want:

     

     

    As for purchasing a red switches one and then replacing them later, I don't suggest you this option. Right now, as far as I know, the Cherry MX RGB switches are not available for sale anywhere. You'll have to wait who knows how much before you can get them.

    1. Yes, you can have a static color saved on the onboard memory. Without CUE you won't be able to have any active "effects" running but that doesm't seem a problem based on what you wrote.
    2. To setup the initial green/yellow color and save it in the onboard memory you will need CUE at least once to create the profile and save it in the keyboard. There is no way around that.
    3. That's fine, if you don't need macros it will work just fine.
    4. There is a brightness button that has 4 levels and you can use it without CUE: 0, 33, 66 and 100%.
    5. You should be able to find brown switches just fine, I do have a K70 RGB Brown switches with NA layout.

  7. The keyboard has been out for 7 months so far and, apart from some hardware related issues, I haven't seen anyone complain that the LEDs are dying like in the old non-RGB keyboards. And you can be sure that there are people that keep the keyboard on 24/7.

     

     

    Other than that you'd have to find out which leds Corsair is using and check their datasheet to find out a possible lifespan. That's the most "precise" answer you can get on here, unless some Corsair employee provides the answer directly :)

  8. Where is the firmware update that was said to be in testing phase weeks ago?

     

    We have been having this problem for months now, and by now it feels like this will never be resolved...

    James posted an update about all the current "major" issues in this thread: http://forum.corsair.com/v3/showthread.php?t=137940

     

    Here's the piece of post that talks about the slow boot up:

    3.) Long POST process in BIOS: This issue is actually related to how certain BIOS in a small group of motherboards have a difficult time communicating with the keyboard in POST. To be frank, the USB enumeration from the keyboard is too quick for some BIOS to properly receive and hence ends up hanging the BIOS for a prolonged (2-3 mins) at a time. This doesn’t affect all BIOS either but it is aggravating for those who experience it. The temporary workaround you can use is to toggle the button on top of the keyboard to change the polling rate from 1/2/4/8 to BIOS and then change it back afterwards. The long term solution is that we may implement some type of delay for the keyboard to be registered to bypass those systems that have this BIOS issue. We’re also working with some of the motherboard manufacturers to resolve it through a BIOS update too.
