Sometimes while doing CPU-Intensive tasks, such as gaming, the built in keyboard on my HP ProBook 440 G3 will have extreme latency when i stop pressing a key. For example: If i hold the W key for about 20 seconds, after i let go it will sometimes register for anywhere between 1-30 seconds while i am not even touching the key. Nothing i do during that time gets it to stop registering either. This makes the keyboard almost impossible to use while gaming or doing anything else CPU intensive. I have tested this with plugging external keyboards into my laptop, and not a single one has the issue, so it must be the integrated one. But all of my drivers are up to date and there is no obvious problem with the keyboard other then this, so it must be something software level. Is this a known issue? If so, is there any possible fix?

Hello, here is my problem: So, it started happening about a week or so. The Play/pause dedicated button does not work on spotify, but the other 2 buttons do in fact work. Now, for some reason when i press the "F" key, it functions as the play/pause button. The play/pause button does not light up if pressed. Solutions that did not worked: 1- Different USB port, DID NOT work. 2- Disabling Human Interface Device Service, WORKED but with the other media keys also not working. My keyboard is a RedDragon Magic-wand Pro (K587), I've had this keyboard for about 1,5 or 2 years for now and i've never experienced any kind of malfunction with it. Also i'm on Windows 10 Pro. New problem: Now ALL THE MEDIA KEYS are turning on and off, skipping songs and going back to the previous song. PLS I NEED HELP.

Greetings! I have a cheap Genius wireless keyboard (Product name: SlimStar 8000X, Model No: GK-110002/K) in perfect cosmetic condition. This keyboard was only used for a few days before it was shelved nearly 12 years ago. As I'm in dire need of a new keyboard now with no money to shell out on a new one, I decided to take this one out of the storage and use it, but I quickly found that some keys are not working. How can I restore this? I have the necessary screwdrivers such as Phillips, torx etc., I also have spudgers with me to loosen the clips. Thanks in advance.

Hello I am posting this in hope to fix my keyboard layout. I have currently an US international layout on my keyboard and it worked fine up until a few weeks ago. Windows 10 seem to have suddenly desided that US international is no longer the same as before. It suddenly stoped reacting to the right alt on my keyboard for the special characters. It still detects the keys but it just doesn't do anything with them. I currently am using the mhu/micro symbol a lot which is supposed to be under the key combination m + right alt, but nothing happens when I type it. It also does not matter in which program I am working. I already tried changing the layout away from us international and back but still nothing. Does anyone know a possible solution for it? Already big thanks for reading my post :)

CQ, CQ, to keep it short: quite RGB(just to set it to low single-color tee-green) I don't game, my main usage is code, design, and drawing. I would like it not to be in your face design. I don't care for the 100% keyboards, but the number pad is a must budget 80-90Euros I'm writing my dissertation and getting frustrated with the force I need to hit the key while typing. my fingertips would appreciate your suggestions. Thanks

Just putting it out there: Corsair currently has their K63 Wireless on sale (Cherry MX Red) for $50, which is less than half the MSRP. The product page says it qualifies for free shipping but it'll still try to charge you for shipping, so you might need to contact support for that. Context: it seems like this keyboard has been discontinued by Corsair (or so I was told by Corsair support), along with its lapboard pair which apparently can't be found anywhere for a while now. Still a pretty good keyboard for a very good price, so if you're ok with the fact that support will likely be limited going forward, it's a great deal. https://www.corsair.com/us/en/p/keyboards/ch-9145030-na/k63-wireless-mechanical-gaming-keyboard-blue-led-cherry-mx-red-ch-9145030-na

I ran into this issue a little bit yesterday on my computer, but then restarting my computer fixed it. Now a coworker has experienced something similar so I'm interested to know how wide spread this might be. The issue relates to keyboard inputs only registering in certain program/applications and not others. KEYBOARD INPUTS NOT REGISTERING IN WINDOWS, BUT DOES IN OTHER PROGRAMS Windows 10 OS, it looks like the OS is no longer registering keyboard inputs within only Windows, but other programs/software's do. For example if I press the Windows key the task bar will open like normal but typing characters and nothing is registering. But if I select Google Chrome which I have open I am able to type and get characters to show up there just fine. OSK - Key presses When I open Windows OSK I see that only certain key presses on my keyboard are registering on the OSK GUI. For example SHIFT, Windows Key, CTRL, CAPS Lock will register (toggle their color).I find it odd that regular characters are no longer showing signs of being actively in OSK but others do. I suspect Windows released an update or drivers changed relating to input devices and was curious if others saw the same behavior or knew what was going on. Thanks for reading and any feedback you might provide.

Hi All, I'm looking for a new keyboard after spilling tea on my current one (Yes I am British and I'm also a moron). I have a few requirements and a few nice to-haves which I've listed below. Appreciate any recommendations! Thank you! Budget - $90-$120 CAD ($70-$90 USD) - Could stretch it a touch further for the perfect keyboard Shipping - I am based in Toronto, Canada and I would like it ASAP if possible! So ideally something is available on Amazon.ca or from a Canadian store, I don't mind a small wait if it ticks more boxes. Requirements - Must have NumPad - Must be QWERTY (probably goes without saying but just in case) - Wireless. I'm running low on USB sockets and space and would rather avoid needing to buy another USB dock - Standard-sized keys and layout Nice to have - Profiles, like the Logi MX Master series mouse, the ability to switch between multiple computers would be amazing (I have a work, gaming, and server PC I fairly regularly switch between) - Not too loud, it doesn't need to be silent, just prefer it not to wake up the neighbors when I type - Gaming, I do play video games so something decent at gaming would be a plus. I am not crazy into FPS games or anything, but will play them occasionally - Backlit, not that fussed, but it can be useful on occasion I don't care - What it looks like, honestly don't mind color, etc - RGB, don't care if it has RGB or doesn't. As I use it for work if it did have RGB I'd like to be able to turn it off or control it enough. - Mechanical, it doesn't need to be mechanical, as long as it ticks the main boxes I don't mind Happy to answer additional questions if you have any. Appreciate any recommendations! Thank you!

I am taking apart a laptop that had coffee spilled on it and the coffee didn't make it past the keyboard and I only saw traces of it in a motherboard screw. The keyboard ribbon feels stuck I have tried tweezers and very carefully with pliers but to no avail, there is no flip-up thing. Is there something I can use to loosen it up?

Bluetooth and wired connection doesn't work at all. 2.4 GHz works, but only until the RGB turns off for battery saving. After I press a button so the keyboard lights turning on again the PC doesn't recieves the inputs anymore. If I turn it off and back on it works again, but only until the light goes off. If it would work only in wired mode I would be still mad (I bought a wirelless keyboard for a reason), but at least I could use it. It's crazy... I don't want to mess with their stupid softwares because those have alredy gave Me enough headaches. It's not My first annoying issue so I slowly start to hate this product. The worst part is that with this condition I can't even sell it. For the past few minutes, while I write this dumb article I'm using the keyboard with no problem, but only because I didn't let it to go to sleep mode, so this means it's not the USB port's fault. Sadly. Any help? UPDATE: So I messed with it a bit and turnd out that now bluetooth works, but ofc with the same wake up problem. I tought maybe the wired conection isn't working because something happened with the original cable so I tried it with another one, but still nothing. I tried to use it in wirelless mode and charging it as well, because I tought this way it wouldn't go in sleep (why would it if it constanly getting power?), but He doesn't care at all and goes to sleep no matter what. I can't even use firmware updater, because the PC's doesn't recognise it in wired mode and the software doesn't work wirellessly. I have a beautifull video as well.

I have this Azio Levetron L70 keyboard that I wanted to clean. I have brought one of those wired keypuller from Amazon not knowing that they're for mechanical keyboard only. And when I pulled it, one of the side of the plastic holder that was underneath the key brokes. I tried on a few more keys and I broke every one of them except one. The keys work fine when I put them back, but how exactly do I properly remove them?

Looking for a silent mechanical keyboard, that I can use in an office setting. Not looking for something overly gamey looking. Would really like a retro look if possible. Max budget $150, looking for black friday/cyber monday deals especially. Thanks!

Hey everyone, this is my first post here, so I apologize if I posted this in the wrong location or if I did not include a required tag. I'm looking for a gaming keyboard that is also good for work. I do a lot of typing, and I like my current keyboard (Logitech G413 Carbon), but it has started to double-type, skip letters, and some keys would literally just fall off the keyboard randomly. I would like some recommendations for a mechanical keyboard that won't cause these issues after a year or two of purchasing it. Ideally, I also prefer quiet mechanical keyboards as I have people in my household, and I don't want to be obnoxious. Oh, and I also really like my full-size keyboard with a numpad as I use it a lot for work. Please let me know if you have any recommendations for the keyboard I should go for. I live in Ontario, Canada, and my budget is around $100-150 CAD. So, to summarize: Budget: $100-150 CAD Region: Ontario, Canada Layout: US ANSI Size: Full Sized Keyboard Connectivity: Wired and Wireless is both fine.

Hey y'all, I just need somewhere to vent and warn people about this since I got introduced to Keychron Keyboards through ShortCircuit. 3-4 Weeks ago I've got my company to order me a Keychron K8 Pro as work equipment. After some initial Bluetooth issues (connected once to my notebook then for 3 days it wouldnt until it just worked again) I now have issues with my left arrow key. It constantly drops inputs. So I tried to contact the german support (keychron.de), since im from there. The only ways to contact support are via a mail form or online chat. The online chat states they respond in a couple of minutes. After not receiving a reply for a couple of hours I used the mail form to write them a message. Funny thing is, that after sending the message I didnt even get a confirmation email that they have received my request or anything. So I wasn't sure if that worked and tried to contact the main support (keychron.com). They dont have a chat, only way to contact them is by mail. So I did that. Atleast they send a confirmation mail that they have recieved my request. So thats nice. Well then I waited. I closed my keychron.de tab with the support chat since I contacted them by mail and thought I would receive a reply that way. Welp. This morning I havent heard anything from them, so I thought I reopen my keychron.de Tab and check if the chat had a new reply. And suprisingly 22 hours later I have received one. In an chat where the support agent doesnt know if the customer is even still there or not. Hella unprofessional in my eyes. Customer Service is also part of my job, so I know for a fact that this is not how you handle such a thing. The response was just a sentence where they asked for my order number. Which in my eyes is odd. You have the serial number for one of your products. That should be enough for you to verify and check the sale or waranty status. This whole ordeal has turned into utter frustration on my side. The defective item is a freakin keyswitch. Which is worth what? A dollar maybe? The keyboard is hotswapable and even in their quick start guide they state when they have to replace somethign they just ship that part. Rest is easy serviceable. So why does it take so long to replace a single keyswitch. The time invested by me and the customer service agent faaaaaaaar exceeds the value of the switch or what keychron would lose if they would just ask for the adress and send one over. So far I havent heard back from them and at this point I start to dont care anymore. I just swapped the defective left arrow switch with the one for rgb (since i dont use that key very often). So atleast I have a "functioning" product again. TL;DR: Really like the keyboard from the feeling and everything. But I cant and wont recommend buying anything from keychron. Support so far is awful and slow. Replacing a Dollar-Part shouldnt take 2 days to figure out. PS: While typing this I also noticed that some keystrokes where just not recognized while using the keyboard in bluetooth mode. My work laptop is maybe 50 cm away from the keyboard and nothing else is connected via bluetooth. Plugged in it works fine.

Hello, I'll keep this nice and easy and get straight to the point because this is likely the 1000th post of this type here, so sorry about that. I'm looking for a new mechanical keyboard. Usage: Casual gaming, general office, and life usage I like 100% keyboards Wired Individually backlit is ideal but zoned gets the job done (RGB does actually add frames) Price limit is £150 however this is not a hard limit Don't care about wrist rests Dedicated macro buttons aren't a necessity but I do like the F keys being reprogrammable on Logitech keyboards Not entirely concerned about construction materials I've only ever had the G-Roamer switches from Logitech which is apparently fairly close to Cherry MX Browns (I don't think the switches will be a major deciding factor but I thought I'd put this here just to give a little context as to what I'm familiar with) I presently have the Logitech G810 Orion Spectrum, I do enjoy having the media controls offered by this keyboard (the volume roller and play pause etc buttons), I initially looked at the G213 progidy but doing a little search on the dome switches showed they were generic dome switches jazzed up with marketing speech. The other one I considered was the G910 Orion Spectrum, this was right on my budget but I feel I'm paying more for the Arx phone dock thing that I never plan on using. I did ask on Reddit and only got 1 suggestion, that was the Keychron Q6 QMK. I was initially interested in this one but the UK ISO is unavailable on their site, and elsewhere it's more expensive, so I'm looking for further suggestions. Thank you in advanced.

I need a board for my Dad that I plan to give as a gift for Christmas alongside a portable monitor for his work. I already have switches to give him from my previous setup (Milky Yellows and/or Gateron Greens) but I don't know what non RGB board I could buy him. Preferably I want to get him a board that'll go on sale during Black Friday so I don't have to go super budget but it definitely needs to be 100%. Also, he's adamant about having USB passthru on the backside of the board for his mouse. It's an absolute must. Additionally, he really needs things like these shortcuts at the very top of his current board. See attached image for what I mean. (Volume slider not important but welcome) I hope I'm not asking for too much, but I'd really like to surprise him.

Recently I started making a backup to an external hdd, and during data transfer process, the keyboard sometimes either freezes, enters a bootloop or completely shuts down until I unplug it and plug it back in. External HDD is connected to PC via a docking station. It all happens very randomly. Mouse works fine. HDD docking station is connected to the motherboard via the front panel, keyboard via back IO (directly connected to the motherboard). The keyboard is a steelseries Apex 5. Tried resetting firmware, updating drivers, installing and uninstalling steelseries app to no avail. When no data is being transferred, the keyboard works fine. Any ideas what's going on?

Hi there, basically my question is, if I get a Barebone keyboard that's in ISO layout, do I get ISO-DE layout with the correct keycaps and language setting in Windows or is that basic ISO with just the large enter? Kind of a dumb question but anyways...

Hey guys, I was started moding my first keyboard, it's a reddragon k522 and I cut the cable and soldered the wires onto a USB-C breakout board. I just finished soldering and when I checked the keyboard, there's no input. It lights up, also there's no windows UBS connection sound. Did I kill my keyboard? How should I go on about troubleshooting the board? Any help is appreciated.
