Title: G81 doesn't work, need help
Post by: Jokrik on Fri, 30 May 2014, 11:34:13
Hi,
Just recently bought a G81 from taobao , white case with dolch set, blue switches
beautiful! but thing is; other than the yellowing on the caps (which is a big disappointment)
the thing doesn't work on my pc, I used PS/2 to USB adapter

there is a switch at the back of the keyboard, when I switched it to PC mode from AT I can turn on/off all the capslock, scroll and numlock (the led is working)
but I can't input anything whatsoever
running a windows 8.1, can anyone help me here?

lol, no wonder I've been wondering
My chinese isn't that good and when a friend showed me this on taobao, I was curious and bought it
now i'm stuck.. definitely blue switches, since I just cleaned the keycaps

I'm new to all these g80's world  :-X

You want it on AT actually. AT= PS/2... PC=XT. Hope you didn't fry the controller running it in wrong mode... it can happen.
