Title: Is my quickfire pro dead?
Post by: mariusmssj on Wed, 22 May 2013, 05:14:31

hey guys,

Came to work today booted my PC and realised that I can't type in the password. The keyboard keys did light up and everything but it would not recognise my key presses. So I changed the usb port and nothing so Tbasically I tried every usb port on the pc but nothing. tested the keyboard on another 2 machines it lights up but no key output at all.

Anything else I can do before calling the retailer?

Thanks

Does the QFP have a detachable cable? I know the QFR does, but I'm not sure about the pro

Hey guys got an update. So brought the keyboard back home as I got the exact same one on my home machine and the one from work still wouldn't work. So I tested it on a different machine on USB3.0 port and the windows poped up with installing drivers and now the keyboard work fine again.

Seems like it was a software issue in the keyboard
