Just got my K70 RGB earlier today.
I've only started playing with it about 3hrs ago.
My first impression was, "ok cool, its much like my previously owned K95"
Then, turned on the switch on the wall socket, didn't turn the computer on yet. 30-45sec later, the kb started dancing with the rainbow/default lighting. So first impressions, "awmagad, it works!" then "why is it doing this, computer isnt on yet" -- 1st problem.
Then after researching, i eventually updated the FW to 1.20 via CUE, which supposedly this dancing lights on computer shut down should have been fixed on FW v1.15.
So i recreated the scenario upon finding the dancing lights to test out if its fixed with the FW update. And after 30-45sec, just like before FW update and to much disappointment, the dancing lights came on.
Again, after researching; "turn off ErP via APM in the BIOS". This is where i found the 2nd problem.
Went to the BIOS to try find this ErP setting and immediately i notice this lag when i press the right and down arrow keys. But also after pressing a couple of times(and waiting patiently for the press to actually register), it just freezes, no key presses are registered but my mouse for navigating still works. I tried every setting at the back of the keyboard with no success.
So now im annoyed that i couldnt find the ErP setting.
Now this is where i find the 3rd problem. I want to boot into Windows to research where the heck ErP setting is on my BIOS when i get stuck trying to get to Windows for 5minutes. Stuck on the POST screen(where its says hit Delete to enter BIOS) for about 1minute then the next 2 on a blank black screen and the last 2 on a black screen with the seeking status (the '_' blinking) then finally boots into Windows. Where i encounter another just a smaller hiccup/problem where the USB device apparently isnt recognised.
I tried recreating the boot delay/problem about 3 times and they were all in the region of 3-10minutes delay.
On the 4th try, wanted to see if its definitely the kb and not any of my HW so i unplugged the K70 and plugged in my £6 Argos kb and tried to boot. It did so in "normal" time; about 20-30sec.
Those are just 3/4 problems that i have encountered tonight, just so annoyed at this moment in time that i cba to find solutions, so im writing this post with my membrane argos kb haha
Are these problems known or is it just me?
Any known solutions?
Would love to keep this K70 RGB but if it persist or no solution at this point in time then, gonna have to be returned.
The change has been grand for me, just takes a little while to get used to type as the keys on the K70 are 'slimmer' than the ones on the Lycosa.
