#I received a broken keyboard (80HE Founders Campaign) and have been waiting on support for 10 days

My keyboard will just cut out randomly while using it. I can unplug the keyboard and plug it back in and it'll work for a little while, and then the problem happens again.

I opened a ticket 10 days ago now with no response other than the automated response that is sent immediately. I'm trying to remain a constructive posture here, but I have to say that's a comically bad and frankly unacceptable turnaround time on a keyboard that cost me $289.99 before tax.

Maybe they can start charging a premium price for their products so that they can better capitalize their customer support org?

Have you checked if you have any firmware updates available?

Also, are you using the cable that came in the box or a custom one? I've seen some ppl have issues with custom cables

I've tried 4 different USB cables and 3 different PCs. They all have the same issue. I've also tried just about every USB port on my main PC with no luck.

Do you use 8k polling ?

I really want the ootb usb cable to work. It looks sexy. 🙂

#

I do have 8k polling enabled and have seen that when I lower it to 1k polling that the problem goes away. My issue there is that 8k polling and the commensurate .125 ms lag is a selling point of the keyboard, so I want it to work.

for sure 8k should work flawlessly, but 1 milisecond response time is beyond human perception already

Fair enough, but if you buy a product, you expect the advertised features to work, right?

yes and we are working hard to figure out the root cause of 8khz having issues on certain system configurations

#

you can expect a firmware update to fix this asap

#

also given that you tried 3 PCs: could you share the hardware setup and software setup of the PCs? (cpu, mainboard, gpu, ram, OS, etc.)
