F1 key on keyboard triggering all the Function keys

insideline · 19 Sep 2017 at 12:02

For some reason my Corsair K70 RGB rapid-fire keyboard has developed an issue where the F1 key triggers every single function key.

Does anyone have any ideas what could be causing it ? Is this a problem that could be fixed by the user or would it need to have an RMA ?

I've taken all the keys off and given it a clean and it looks fine. Maybe I should try cleaning the switch with isopropyl alcohol and let it dry ?

I don't have good experience with Corsairs RMA's so ideally want to find a fix myself but I'm not clued up enough on keyboards to know if its possible.

Thanks in advance for any help

Have you tried to upgrade the firmware if possible?

Yeh I tried firmware updates. I think I've fixed it though, gave it a bath in Isopropyl Alcohol and then dried it with a hairdryer and now it seems to working !

That makes it sound like something was spilt on it keep an eye on your kb, that has a habit of eating certain material types and warping it.
