They go in between the housing for extra stability and dust control. and just a little more noise control

All that for a single keyboard? why didn't they provide that accessories with the keyboard itself or made a Limited edition package of all the cool accessories?

Anyone with a K70...have you had any issues with the scroll lock light blinking?  Not only that buy now my windows key lock button does not work.  Anyone else with this issue?  I think I may post something in the troubleshooting thread also.  Let me know everyone!  Thanks.

They have a #? lol...I can't see to find it.  I have also noticed that my media keys are not working :(

 

After doing a few google searches, I have only seen one other person post something about this in another forum, but no responses.

Found a solution...just moved the bios switch from 1 to 2 then back to 1 and all it good now :) Does anyone know what this bios switch actually does?  Doesn't even say in the little manual that was included with the keyboard on purchase.

Man! you gotta try one then. ive yet to meet someone try mechanical and then go back to membrane. in fact it kinda becomes an addiction for a lot of people.

 

i agree :) i have a g710+ at home and im thinking of getting an other mechanical keyboard to use at work :) maybe a blue this time if i can find one cheaper than g710+ :)

You have bios mode on.  Those light will blink to let you know the board is in bios mode.  Change the switch to either 1,2,3,4 to remove the keyboard from that mode. Recommend is going with 1 (1ms or 1000hz).

Really love this keyboard but I feel like £120 is just a bit too expensive for it here in the UK, especially when they are $130 in the US. :(

^ Yeh, doesn't the price gorging for no reason (apart from VAT etc which doesn't make up the massive difference) totally suck?

Adding on like £40 somehow, 20% vat so £12...erm shipping I guess? That's some very expensive shipping! :D

OK..reactive mode works on the K70.  Nowhere in the instructions did it say this LOL.  Kind of neat.  Wouldn't of known unless I watched the video.

re: Vinyl stickers - They go in between the housing for extra stability and dust control. and just a little more noise control

 

 

 

So, can I ask, are these very visible at all when installed or not? In a cool way if so?

 

Any chance of a pic of the keyboard with them on?

 

And, do they affect the noise level/quality?

Any other impressions? - thks
