That is complete bs. How can a high end, gaming keyboard conflict with games and even Steam on a PC? Literally none of that makes any sense whatsoever.

And are they working on the caps lock and num lock lights freezing? Along with packet drops so the lights flicker? Upsetting how a high end keyboard has stupid issues like this.

same issue here with a k55 and steam games.
World of final fantasy takes 3 minutes to start with corsaire CUE running
it start instantly with CUE totally closed

i was planning on buying a k70 lux RGB , but this experience really slowed me down ...

Same happen to me. My k55 freeze game start and num/caps lock leds freeze. Full ps.

I fixed problem 😀 I buy logitech g413 keyboard.
Games start fast. No problem anymore.
Now i have to return that k55 to shop.
I don't Never ever buy corsair any more.
I am sorry for corsair if I pissed off. But Everyone have to now, there IS PROBLEMS.

ok , things have advanced a bit here
i got ride of the issue just by switching my keyboard from my usb 3 port to a usb 2 port :/
sometimes more is not better i guess
i was able to experience the thing with a k70 too and the solution was the same
it seems the corsaire devices does not like being plugged elsewhere than on some usb 2 port
i hope this will help some other people

All of my motherboard's ports are 3.0 or 3.1 unfortunately :(

It is unfortunate Corsair is taking so long to fix this issue. I bought the K63 Wireless for my living room in early February, but it's unfortunately nothing more than a massive paper weight at this point. I may just switch to Logitech at this point since it seems like Corsair is just playing the blame game on Steam.

Well I got my K70 LUX RGB last week. Thankfully I have no issues. Using the early access CUE beta software. I have Steam running almost constantly along with UPlay.
I also use a PS3 Controller via BT that is always active with some software my brother installed that runs as a service with each startup.
Multiple User Accounts are logged in for 2 to 3 people at a time. We all have different lighting profiles for the keyboard along with game specific profiles that all work as they should.

I have always had some USB changes made in my BIOS, since USB 3 wouldn't benefit me. Maybe others can try it.

I have an ASUS Maximux VI Formula (Intel Z87):
Legacy USB Support - ENABLED
Intel xHCI Mode - DISABLED
EHCI Hand-off - DISABLED

I hope everything continues to run well for me.
