    Trouble with new keyboard


    Hi folks,

    I was given a CM Storm Devastator gaming keyboard and mouse for Christmas.

    I plugged everything in and my mouse lighted up right away. however, in order to turn the keyboard lights on I have to press SCR LK. The problem is that when I do that all it does is turn the scroll lock on and off. It does nothing to the keyboard.

    So how do I activate the back light?

    Thanks for any assistance!

    -Chuck

    EDIT: It does, however, work with Windows 8.

    :)

    I applied the fix you suggested- however after I hit apply and then done- the system would transfer tile and then after I hit done- the system would return to the
    read only setting. Nothing I did would allow the setting to unselect read only?

    So, for some reason it doesn't play well with Windows 10 but it does work on Windows 8.

    I guess it just doesn't support Windows 10. *Sad

    If you're talking about the NumLock and CapsLock lights -- then join the rest of us, who have different keyboards whose lights also do not work under Win10 latest build.

    Could it be due to drivers that are not in Win10?? I have the Corsair K40 and the drivers are in Win10 but to get all the colors I have to install software.

    Just a thought..
    EDIT: And on my keyboard the button to turn the lights on and off are not in the same place as yours. It's totally separate from the main keyboard.

    But a good thought! Is there anyway I could confirm that?

    But a good thought! Is there anyway I could confirm that? First I would go to the MFG website to see if they have any drivers for download for that keyboard.
    If that doesn't work then I would check if there this might be an issue with Win8. If so that solution might fix the issue you're having with Win10. Just a thought again.

    In the end it could just be the numlock issue that is occurring with the current build of Win10. If you like you can always go to the previous build and test the keyboard to see if it works. The numlock issue was not there.

    Good chance they don't have them as of yet because Win 10 isn't yet an actual OS (supposedly).

    They might have Win8 drivers that should work in Win10. Or I would hope so if they do have drivers.

    I thought about that as well, but like Jeff said, there should be some Windows 8 drivers somewhere which would probably work with Windows 10.

    Right now I'm trying to get my Windows 8.1 back to the way I like it. Then I'll try your suggestions, Jeff! *Smile

    Interesting. I have a Microsoft USB wired-keyboard and Microsoft USB wired-mouse on mine, pressing the NumLock key opens the Calculator. Kinda makes sense as the number pad and calculator go together.

    Since Win10 is the only thing on the HDD it must be an OS or the computer shouldn't be running.
