Description

After booting into the system (the keyboard's LED will go off then on during the boot process), the keyboard cannot be used at all, unless I put the switch on the keyboard (for DPI settings) to BIOS mode (indicated by a blinking SCROLL LOCK).

Is there anything I can do to figure out what might be preventing the keyboard from working? As I think it probably needs a different driver, I'm making this ticket as an enhancement instead of a bug. It's not major, though, as I also have a set of PS/2-compatible keyboard and mouse attached to the system that I can use while in Haiku.

Also, I cannot upgrade the keyboard's firmware as the latest firmware (3.08) has a broken legacy fallback that unless I explicitly switch it to BIOS mode, despite the SCROLL LOCK is blinking, I cannot use the keyboard while in BIOS, either. I have reported that issue to Corsair about 2 years ago, and they gave me the factory default firmware (2.05) which didn't have the legacy fallback issue (so I can use it while in BIOS without having to explicitly switch to BIOS mode), but I'm yet to see it fixed on Corsair's side (probably because they don't care about any OS other than Windows).
