QPAD MK-85 Manual?

flaws:
*media keys aren't optimized, to operate any other programme than windows media player, for the keys to actually work, you have to activate the play/pause button which launches wmp then the key's magically work with other programmes whilst wmp is open. there are no settings in drivers but probabley fixable but may take a few hours.

*windows key is auto-disabled in gamer profile. anyway to fix that as i use some macro's in windows mode.

*the LED's stay on even if computer is turned off! this decreases the lifespan of the LED's since on 24/7.



exactly the same as the tom guy in the review. 'the lug' said the tom guy failed to read the manual thus i need the manual to fix my problems :/

What media player are you trying to use with the keyboard that isnt working?

The gamer mode disables the Windows key because that is the point of the gamer mode.

The light stays on because of the motherboard, it was weird for me too, but then my microphone does the same, it always has a red LED on.

ok kwl.

so Tom's review is legit as i can't use windows key in gamer profile as i wish to use macro's in windows desktop (not just in games).

i fixed the media player by uninstalling the software... luckily my profiles are stored on the keyboard than the PC.

well the RED light thing is still a flaw as i owned a logitech G11 and the lights turned off with pc thus it's the keyboard fault. but theres probabley a bios setting i can dinkle with.

i just feel majority of the prof reviews mist these vital flaws which does concern me greatly for reliability of prof reviews in general. :/

fixed the LED issue: i had EuP ready turned off : this is a energy saving feature with asus so i guess disabling stopped the LED turning off normally on shutdown.


thanks guys.

Blaming a keyboard for having features, which you have configured incorrectly, which aren't as you would like.....

At least your asking for help rather than posting a review saying the keyboard has loads of flaws :D

I mean, OBVIOUSLY having a mode turned on which disables a key, is going to mean that the key is then disabled, have a problem? enable it again. If you have an issue with that disabling the macro's, either make a macro for it, or use a different keyboard.

well logitech keyboards media keys work fine out of the box like most whilst qpad's software actually messes up this setup as when i uninstall the software , the media keys work fine + they're is no manual advice on how to configure it properly.

the LED issue was my fault i think! i am pretty sure the EUP ready was disabled with my logitech keyboard so... it's technically still the keyboards fault.

i presumed the windows mode would have a profile as well but qpad made windows mode the 'default' unchangeable profile instead. you can write macro which activates the windows key but thats it, you can't programme the key to be held down so shortcuts like win+D won't work. i've changed it so windows key is shortcut to desktop anyway. my needs are filled but for a delux keyboard i would have thought you wouldn't have to smudge it...

but damn i do love it... i got the brown key edition, i write reports so much faster than with my old generic keyboard.
