Flux Model 5 Magnetic Hall Effect 65

Certain Keys Are Not Responding

  • Check the Surface: Ensure you’re using a smooth, consistent surface like a mouse pad. Some surfaces can interfere with the sensor tracking.
  • Clean the Sensor: Dust and dirt can block the sensor. Flip the mouse over and gently clean the sensor area with a soft cloth.
  • Update Mouse Drivers:
    • Open Device Manager on your computer.
    • Expand the Mice and other pointing devices section.
    • Right-click on your mouse and select Update Driver.
  • Adjust Mouse DPI Settings: If your mouse has DPI buttons, try lowering or increasing the DPI to adjust the sensitivity.
  • Test USB Port: Plug the mouse into another USB port to ensure it’s not a port issue.

Keyboard Not Lighting Up (RGB or Backlight Issues)

  • Check Connection:
    • Ensure the keyboard is firmly connected to the USB port or, if wireless, that it’s properly paired and charged.
  • Enable Lighting in Software:
    • Open your keyboard’s software and navigate to the Lighting section.
    • Ensure that the RGB or backlighting is enabled.
  • Check Power Settings:
    • Some gaming keyboards have power-saving modes that disable lighting. Disable this setting in the software.
  • Update Keyboard Firmware:
    • Look for any available firmware updates in the keyboard’s software.
    • Follow the prompts to update the firmware.
  • Test on Another USB Port: Sometimes, insufficient power from a USB port can prevent lighting from functioning. Try a different port, preferably a USB 3.0.

Ghosting or Key Jamming (Multiple Key Presses Not Registering)

  • Test in Anti-Ghosting Mode:
    • Some gaming keyboards have an anti-ghosting feature. Ensure it is enabled in the keyboard software.
    • Test the keyboard by pressing multiple keys simultaneously to check if the problem persists.
  • Switch to N-Key Rollover Mode:
    • Many gaming keyboards support N-Key rollover (NKRO). In the software, ensure NKRO is activated to allow multiple key presses without interference.
  • Update Keyboard Software:
    • Open the keyboard’s companion software and check for updates.
    • Install any available updates that might fix ghosting issues.
  • Change USB Port: Ghosting can sometimes be caused by a lack of sufficient power. Switch the keyboard to a different USB port, preferably one on the back of the computer.
  • Use USB Extension Cables Properly: If you’re using a USB extension, try removing it and connecting the keyboard directly to the PC to avoid interference.

Keys Sticking or Repeating

  • Clean the Keycaps:
    • Remove the problematic keycaps using a keycap puller.
    • Clean the area under the keys with compressed air or a soft brush.
  • Check for Software Key Delays:
    • Open the keyboard’s software and check for any settings that may adjust key repeat delays.
    • Set the Key Repeat Rate to a more suitable speed.
  • Adjust Repeat Settings in Windows:
    • Go to Control Panel > Keyboard.
    • Adjust the Repeat Delay and Repeat Rate settings to prevent keys from registering multiple times.
  • Reinstall Keyboard Drivers:
    • Open Device Manager.
    • Right-click on the keyboard under Keyboards and select Uninstall Device.
    • Restart your computer, and the driver should reinstall automatically.
  • Lubricate Mechanical Switches:
    • If using a mechanical keyboard, you can apply switch lubricant (if appropriate) to the sticking switches. Be sure to research the correct way to lubricate your specific keyboard.

Keyboard Not Detected by Computer

  • Reconnect the Keyboard:
    • Unplug the keyboard from the USB port, wait a few seconds, and plug it back in.
    • If using a wireless keyboard, ensure it’s properly paired and the battery is charged.
  • Try Another USB Port:
    • Plug the keyboard into a different USB port. Use a direct port (no hubs) for troubleshooting purposes.
  • Check Device Manager:
    • Open Device Manager.
    • Expand the Keyboards section and look for any yellow warning symbols.
    • Right-click the keyboard and select Update Driver.
  • Test on Another Computer:
    • Plug the keyboard into another computer to see if it is recognized. This will help determine whether the problem is with the keyboard or your computer.
  • Check BIOS Settings:
    • Restart your computer and enter the BIOS (press F2, Del, or Esc during boot-up, depending on your system).
    • Check if the keyboard is recognized at the BIOS level. If not, you may need to reset the BIOS or check for hardware issues.
