About 3 days ago, my Corsair K70 keyboard started to act like certain keys were held down - specifically, most of the function keys, escape, alt, prntscrn and scroll lock. It was impossible to do anything, as the keyboard automatically Alt + F4'd out of any window I opened. The keyboard did the same thing after doing driver re-installation and switching to another PC completely.

I went and bought myself a Corsair K95 - I was wanting it for a while, and this felt like the right time to upgrade. Now, it's doing the same thing, but only with backspace and F11. Again, it does this on multiple computers, and restarting/reinstalling drivers/switching USB ports does nothing.

I'm stumped. Anyone got a solution?
 
You have the latest version of CUE and the v1.20 firmware? Do you have the K70 or K70 RGB? I know the v1.20 is the latest for the K70 RGB because that's what I have. Not sure if the K70 has the same or not. But the v1.20 for the K70 RGB is supposed to fix that issue among others.
 


I have both the latest version of CUE and the 1.20 firmware. I have both the K70 non-RGB and the K95 RGB, and both have the same issue with different keys.
 
Then you should probably contact Corsair for a refund. Sounds like you got bad keyboards to me. It is pretty odd they both do it though. See if Corsair tech support can offer any help before trying for a refund.
