Qpad MK85 Kboard Borked- Gutted

Arthur Hucksake · 17 Feb 2013 at 13:25

Just thought I would vent a little about the Qpad MK85.

Had it since September, past few weeks the LED lights have been flickering then suddenly last night, they went off and now certain keys are behaving strange.

Pushing M for instance actually seems to trigger the enter key and others account for three keystrokes at a time.

Anyone managed to get one that hasn't broken? Seen a lot of complaints about this LED issue.

Are these usually RMAed pretty quickly? Stuck using a horrible old thing.

Did you order through OCUK? If so open a web note and i'm sure that they will help you with the RMA.

I answered his question, as I said, mine is fine.

How hard is it. Call QPad Support, your retailer, whatever. What's the point of 'venting'. It's under warranty, you can't fix it, return it.

Just wondering if any others on here were effected by it.

Jesus, shut down the forum. Close it up. There's nothing that should be discussed, certainly not faulty hardware on a pc hardware forum.

I also enquired as to normal turn around times for these RMAs with Overclockers. Don't recall RMAing anything to them before, been pretty lucky up until now.

The lights on my MK-85 have failed, only bought end of November, have sent back to OCUK after RMA request, i did discuss with Qpad who said send to your retailer.
Sadly I think OCUK have to send onto Qpad for checking before replacing. Was quoted can take upto 28 working days to sort.

In the meantime I'm using one of OUCK £5 keyboards!

I bought one recently.

I had it plugged in the day it arrived, thought it was fantastic.

the next day, the lights just went off .. restarting the PC and the BIOS doesn't recognise any keyboard being attached and trying it on a different PC and nothing, completely dead .. no keys and no lights!

in the process of being RMA'd
