Problems with Corsair K70 Connectivity.

[Rustycarrot]

I have had my Corsair K70 for a while now and I absolutely love it. With my old PC, it worked great with no problems. Now that I have built a new system, I have trouble getting it to connect. It will work flawlessly once I get it to connect, but occasionally after I wake up my computer from sleep, the keyboard will not connect and I will be forced to unplug, and plug it back in, after that it will work fine. It is getting annoying having to unplug the keyboard to get it to work. I have an Asus Z170-AR if that is helpful. I would appreciate any help or advice!

Thanks!

Are we talking about the K70 or the RGB variant?

1| Can you please pass on your full system's specs inclusive of your OS?

2| If you're on Windows 10, you may want to
a| Disable automatic update feature.
b| Make sure your BIOS and device drivers(namely chipset) and are up to date.

3| Try a repair install though I would suggest recreating your bootable USB installer and reinstalling your OS(provided this is Windows 10 we're talking about).

and see if that alleviates your issue somwhat

Hello Lutfig, Thanks for the response!

Here are my specs:
Asus Z170-AR
i5-6600k
8Gb Crucial Ballistix Sport
GTX 970
Windows 10 64bit
EVGA 500B

I'll try the things you listed to see if that helps. Lately, however, things have been going better, the problem does not happen as often.
If it comes to reinstalling Windows, I'll just wait until I update to an SSD to do a fresh install.

Thanks again!
