Issue Description
i have an intel mac for work running Sonoma. i have a new keyboard 4 weeks old, The keyboard is the k100air. My first 2 weeks were issue free, but during week 3 the windows key no longer sends any of the modifier key options to the mac if connect via slipstream receiver. Corsair icue seems to recognize when i press the button in the app. I have great need for this function as I use a dumb USB switch to switch from my Mac used for development, over to my windows pc that I use for gaming. as a work around im using the fn key to enable bluetooth with does not create the same issue.
If support or anyone on here can provide some help please do, Im very close to returning this if i do not get an update from support and going with a Logitech keyboard instead
Thank you all for your help.

deleted all profiles on keyboard and reset the keyboard

Additional testing.
performed testing via Bluetooth, issue does not occur
performed testing via direct wire, and issue does not occur
all things function as expected in windows OS
noticed if i run a force fw update on keyboard it thinks 5.13.80 is installed and then updates to 5.13.81. even though .81 was already installed.
Unrelated, but at 4 weeks space bar is super squeaky. this is sad for a 250+ dollar keyboard. I'll be attempting the toothpick with lube method to get it to stop soon.
