« on: Mon, 30 May 2011, 13:37:33 »
I just received a KBC poker and it does't seem to work :( I cannnot type anything and the Caps lock light won't turn on... What is weird is that I can activate the arrow key lights by pressing Function and Spacebar at the same time.

Any1 pls help!!!

None of them will work... I can only turn on the LED of Function + Spacebar and Function + Q

Doesn't look good...

USB.

Pretty weird, when I plug the wire the Caps lock flashes but won't turn on after. None of the keys seem to register except the special Fn stuff...

It might be worth trying it with a powered USB hub (as Ripster hinted).

Just tried it with a powered USB hub and a mac. Same results, only the special LED functions will light up but I still can't make a ****ing key register.

THATS BULL****

Hmm.. this is the first time I hear about this problem.  The only complain I heard was that it wobbles a little if you pound on your keyboard (mine included).  Might be defective or something.  Hope you can exchange it where you bought the keyboard.

I bought mine from the same guy, seems like a good seller, hopefully he handles the situation well.

I guess we should be glad iMav will be testing the units he is shipping for the group buy. That will save on some headaches later on. Keep us updated on how your return goes.

For your information, the refund went smoothly.

I only had to pay for the shipping of the return to him which sucks but it was stated in his refund policy and is seems pretty standard...

Sucks anyway now awaiting a 87 white filco with reds :))))

Glad you got your money back.  Having to pay shipping isn't ideal but the seller is probably taking a hit on that unit too, so I can understand his policy.

I did have that problem for a bit on my Poker, but it was just Windows taking a while to recognize it. I almost flipped the eff out. But it doesn't sound like that was your problem since it wasn't working on other machines either.
