Appears this gem needs dedicated usb 3.0 ports it can't handle 2.0 ports with usbhid. Someone at corsair may want to look into that or not ; hint it has to due with the power draw and the awesome termination they are doing. I'm guessing they don't care as linux isn't in their bottom line, considering the length of this thread and shoddy native linux kernel support till this day. Edit: this is the first time in over 17 years I've had to troubleshoot an input device albeit keyboard support with vanilla linux kernel. My first and last corsair keyboard. Thanks for the time waster. Have fun

I've got the exact same problem on firmware 2.05. ckb wont help in my case since it usbhid wont even load it properly, also giving I'm running LUKS Partitions. Booting a 4.14 kernel on my gentoo box or any recent live cd from any recent distro gives the same results. Rebooted about 10x times and cannot get the keyboard to work, feel like its about 2002 running a 2.2 or 2.4 kernel and :laughing: about incompatibilities with a USB device. Has anyone got a Strafe RGB to be properly recognized on a recent 4.x kernel ? Or should I cut my losses and invest with another vendor ?
