Hi everyone, over a year ago I spent a nice amount of cash on a Razer Star Wars keyboard but immediately unplugged it and put it on the shelf when the K90 came out - I couldn't say no. It has performed flawlessly but recently one of the backlights failed and Support sent me a brand new K95 RGB because K90s aren't really in replacement stock anymore. I received it yesterday and then things got interesting:
1. I knew that the driver and config software was different for the K95 so I uninstalled the K90 software completely and shut down the PC (Windows 7 x64)
2. With the PC powered off I unplugged the K90 and plugged in the K95 in the same two USB 2.0 ports. I assumed that with no drivers loaded at all, the keyboard would be recognizable and usable in CMOS as well as function as a normal keyboard in Windows.
3. When the PC was powered up, the Scroll Lock indicator was flashing, and the NUMLOCK indicator was solid. After Windows finished loading and I was prompted to hit cntrl-alt-del to log in, the keyboard was unresponsive. At this point the numlock indicator is still solid, but the scroll lock indicator is out. No keys work at all, including the brightness adjustment button. It's almost as if the keyboard itself is locked up.
4. When I plug the K90 back in, everything works as expected.
5. I plugged the K95 into a Macbook Pro (apologies in advance, it's all I have for testing) and it seemed to behave normally, although the caps-lock and num-lock keys did not work. Volume control worked perfectly.
6. I have powered off the PC, unplugged the actual power cable, let it sit, then plugged it back in and get the same results.
My next move is to plug my K90 back in and make sure that all of my drivers are up to date, but even if that were the case, I think my first fundamental question is, is the scroll lock indicator supposed to be flashing during any part of the power-up/boot process? For the record, the switch on the back is in the "1" position. I know that someway, somehow I'll get this resolved, but I wanted to see what is expected behavior.
Thanks in advance for any guidance! On to upgrading the Intel drivers... I will update the thread as I try different things.
