From the post above, I understand that firmware updates to the K70 RGB took an hour... is this normal? I received a notice that I needed to update my firmware, downloaded and started applying. It's now 1.5 hours into the update, and 28% complete. It IS progressing, just extremely slowly. We need an update of the application as well - I'm finding it extremely unstable in Windows 8.1 Pro 64bit. I ran into the extremely slow reboot/start times as well - connected to a USB 3.0 socket, disconnecting the second USB plug from the keyboard sped it up. Is that plug included only for machines that are older? Say all USB 2.0? Or is that somehow causing the EXTREMELY long firmware update times I'm experiencing?
