k70 Keyboard Problem
« on: Mon, 06 April 2015, 14:41:24 »
Hey guys,

Im just wondering if anyone else has had problems with their k70 vengeance, bought mine about 6-8 months ago and its very problematic. It keeps flickering on and off like there is a loose connection and now has even stopped walking altogether, although i say this my computer is still recognizing the fact that its plugged in. Any suggestions before i inevitably buy another? to rid myself of this Microsoft monstrosity.

Just buy another keyboard. Corsair is terrible, so get a Filco, Ducky, or something at least half decent.

I'm not sure a lot of people here are all that big on Corsair boards, so this might not be the most helpful forum for that particular question. I suppose you could try to take it apart and see if you can find something wrong, at least that is what I would do. If you can diagnose and repair it that is always good experience, and usually pretty inepxensive. Though, I would second JD's earlier comment...go get something better!

Figured someone would say that...
Although I never had issues with my K90, their boards are all flakey.

Might be a soldering problem with the controller or USB port
