How many of you are experiencing the famous "coil whine" issue (in connection with keyboard backlight) ? How anoying is it? Would you still recommend?

I have not eperienced any hiss. I would give a hiss to Dell support however. SAB

Apparently I have no problem here, as I do not know what you are referring to.

Just curious Mike - do you have some inside info on this, or has something been announced by Logitech?

Siska - my newest one just broke last week. Less than 6 months old. Losing count of how many this makes that I've shelled out good money for. Brand new each. I'm looking....I may be a fool, but I'm thinking of trying the wireless. Doubt it will be much better - Apple doesn't seem much interested in making decent, reliable keyboards or mouse for their MacBook Pro ---- and considering how much they both cost, why would they want to stop gouging the customers now when there is money to be made? I'll write a review when I get a wireless. I will warn you, however: I once tried a non-Apple wireless system, and it destroyed my macbook pro. I mean....ate it up. I had to send it away for serious repair.

Rafael, I am a total Asus fan but I had to return the first laptop I ordered because the key board wasn't lit up and the keys didn't work properly (particularly the cap key). After researching this further I found that Asus is having some quality control issues on this and similar current models and and that they had numerous people complaining about any number of items. My life update wasn't working, some of the drivers weren't working so I returned mine to Amazon (within the 30 days period) and got a replacement. No issues whatsoever with the replacement laptop. If you cannot return the laptop to Amazon I urge you to get this thing fixed by Asus under the warranty ASAP. Sorry, wish I had better news.

this keyboard sucks for gaming... seriously! I don't know what its is good for hit the cat with?? It does not remember the state it was last in so every reboot required reactivating the lights. The key to illuminate was print screen / scroll lock which screwed up some other applications that i used when i was turning it on or off. I bought a Logitech illuminated K740. The illumination works great and it remembers the state of the lighting. It also is flat and the keys are easy to see / use. I play BF4 so this works great although i use a Logitech g13 with that also. But games like Far cry 3 work great. good luck this keyboard sucks for gaming... seriously!

I agree with Marcus. I am having same issue on my second M570. Logitech is using cheap parts to save cost.

I'm sorry, I didn't realize that post was still up.I sold the keyboard quite a while ago. However, there was no warranty so I guess it wouldn't have mattered either way :)Good luck!

Hi. Yeah, it's a pain in the butt. SHARKK responded to my review to say that would fix it in the next release, but I'm not sure if they can do a firmware fix for existing models. I would definitely contact SHARKK support to ask how they intend to fix your problem: either a firmware fix or exchange your keyboard for one that works correctly. They seem to be genuinely concerned about providing good support.UPDATE JAN 22, 2014: I received the new version of the case yesterday from SHARKK. I charged the new KB before using it, then had it on for several hours today. I'm happy to report that it has not lost its connection yet. Much improved. Hi. Yeah, it's a pain in the butt.

I chiecked with Invellop. The wake/sleep problem is now fixed. The following is their reply. Yes, it has been fixed. The black once is available at this moment, and colored once will be available this Saturday. Sincerely, INVELLOP

I use the keyboard all the time. I charged it before use, the charged lasted literally for weeks. Wobbly connection sounds like a defective port (microusb). My connection was bluetooth.

I have not had that issue yet with my keyboard. The issue I have (and not really an issue per sé ) is that it takes 2-3 seconds for the bluetooth connection to reconnect after sleep mode. But that's it.

I agree that this kb is moderate in noise, definitely not quiet. Also agree it would be annoying in a library. Have not had usb issues. Have had issues with a somewhat sticky, less than ideally response backspace key.

I've had the same issue. I started turning off the keyboard when not in use and it reconnects when I turn it back on. That's definitely not the best solution but it has worked ok for me. I don't know if you we're having the same exact issue, mine typically did this after it was dormant a minute or so.

Kent...UPDATE to my Post under C. Watts - I was able to reinstall the keyboard and get the F5 key to work. While the quality of materials is lower on the current generation of keyboards, mine is working fine and the quality is acceptable. As far as spacebar issues and such, I think it's just a break-in period you have to go through. And truthfully, this is the best layout of a keyboard I've ever used. I use it every day, all day long and just would not want to be without the split design.

I'm pretty sure Zotac is working on a revision to this board. There was a problem with the wake-on USB function on the original shipment. I'm sure most vendors are holding off until Zotac gets this fixed (or likely Zotac isn't shipping anymore until they fix it).

YIKES! I planned to get some color...only for the fun. I'll have to go in person and check the keyboards (black VS color). Thanks for this good info.

Kay - In playing with a color version on display at a local store, I think you will like the keyboard. It feels great as well as looks good. I started this post due to not being able to get a hands-on feel for the black keyboard.
