Cooler Master Storm Quickfire TK double zero '00' software bug?
« on: Mon, 19 August 2013, 07:22:07 »
I'd like to take a quick poll for those of you that own this keyboard.

Press any key or number and quickly follow that with the '00' button.  On my keyboard when I do this it will repeat that first key that I pressed.

Example:
I will press r followed closely by '00'.  That's it. Here is what happens:

r00r

If I were to speculate, I think that my keyboard is fine and the problem lies in the software. I bet when '00' is pressed it calls some sort of repeatLastKey() function and the 'r' gets put into the function somehow.

I have this same problem, the way I've found around it is to hold the 00 key a little bit longer instead of just tapping it.

Well I'm glad I asked before spending the money to ship my keyboard back to CM and getting a replacement. Nice job software testers. Nice job...

I asked CM about this and they aren't willing to do a firmware or software upgrade.

They might have fixed it with the new firmware that was mentioned when I brought up other problems with the TK.

I really like this layout, but man this keyboard has had more problems than it should :/

Pretty sure it is supported? Or am I being silly?

it has a faux-TK with just the numbers, no enter.
