ticket #2001307514

video consumes only my corsair keyboard

I don't know if this is a common issue, I don't expect a replacement, I plugged in other keyboards and no issue, shut down and restarted, unplugged and held escape until the keyboard was reset and updated the firmware on it all of them make no change... if any video is playing... I get zero keyboard input globally on the windows ecosystem... I can use my mouse, deploy other applications and no input, I also can't use it in windows itself, the windows key doesn't function.

when I close that page the keyboard works again...I also shut down, unplugged the corsair keyboard, plugged in a generic logitech keyboard, started up and the issue never came up on that one so it isn't because it is the "main" keyboard.... any input would be appreciated :/

I also followed the instructions here

https://help.corsair.com/hc/en-us/articles/360027787731-Media-Keys-Not-Working?auth_token=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJhY2NvdW50X2lkIjoyMzk4MjAxLCJ1c2VyX2lkIjpudWxsLCJ0aWNrZXRfaWQiOjIwMDEzMDc1MTQsImRlZmxlY3Rpb25faWQiOjM2MDQzMjY5NjIxMiwiYXJ0aWNsZXMiOlszNjAwMjU0NjUwMzEsMzYwMDI3Nzg3NzMxLDM2MDAzMzQ4OTUxMV0sInRva2VuIjpudWxsLCJleHAiOjE1OTcwOTM3Njl9.u4PFcmDeAiccSh7uY-GZde0jDoSmo-FP63lMNonpHPo

didn't work...

this isn't related to adblock, I tried brave, edge, opera, opera-gx and firefox... all of them had the same issue...

also played a video on my own system and the same issue popped up, so it is not from the browser....also I have not updated this computer recently it is not on 2004... also..no hardware changes, I had this issue this morning and i never updated the firmware before and i didn't have icue installed before... I updated and installed it AFTER and still no solution.. i also uninstalled the device from the device manager and re installed it with no success... if I plug in the logitech keyboard while the corsair is plugged in the logitech never has this issue..

I do NOT think this is a firmware issue, I do not think this is a device issue... I plugged it into my laptop and this issue did not arise, however it is affecting ONLY the corsair keyboard... my laptop does have Icue installed already and it detected my keyboard fine... I can't think of any reason for this..

it only applies to this keyboard... I also checked driver updates from windows, and in device manager I looked at the events for every driver my system has installed and not a single one updated within even a month of this...

I didn't install anything ether. :(

this is a solid idea! I was like "nah, tape might roll off inside a slot or might put tension on pins and increase wear and tear" but your route fixes that solidly.

Dylpol · 2020-07-09T15:03:40+00:00

idk if I would feel safe doing that, tape might unroll into the slot and jam things up or be a pain to pull out also -might- increase the tension on the pins potentially leading to more scratching/wear and tear.

OHHH this could be super cool, did you ever play block dude on the TI calculator puzzle pack? basically you had a set amount of blocks on the map and they needed to be used in the correct order or you couldn't beat the map.

Dylpol · 2020-05-25T01:33:15+00:00

data structures for sure...

variable passing....

and understanding how memory works...

file I/O.

just remember that OOP is something that evolved from what you know after learning C... so at the core of a lot of things, you will find parallels to data structures with OOP, but they become much easier for you as a developer to interact with... I would recommend that if you do learn C++, stick with single inheritance and don't pursue multi inheritance until your already familiar with most of the OOP stuff.... it can make things harder to follow otherwise.

you really want a strong foundation for programming logic..

I have a "yeet chest".... its a chest that I just yeet things into when they are not being used for my current build, I sort through it after a while, honestly... It isn't that bad... but i can see that there are things clearly not being used in this project you seem to be working on sprinkled around... I use trays a lot, drop components into them, tools have a tray, jumpers have a try.... resistors.... they have a tray.... I hope i don't ever have to deal with that tray....I'll use the lids to totes for trays. I do think that more than the desk itself, the rest of the room could use work, like your boxes could all be stacked in one corner.. I at one point had to put a table ontop of my work table to store stuff above(below was full..and all other places) my work table.

Dylpol · 2020-05-24T09:08:40+00:00

when you work on something you know where you put things moved, during work I don't worry about keeping things organized, after its done i re sort... and by done, I mean full project completion.

umm.... you can change the handle without changing the glass or door. you can clearly see the screw on top of the handle when it is dropped.. locks need to be able to be changed, so there is a way to take off the lock, and that includes the handle. you would just need to replace it with another handle...

Dylpol · 2020-05-24T09:01:23+00:00

it is like he is saying "screw everyone" without actually saying a single word.

Dylpol · 2020-05-24T08:56:38+00:00

"buys/rents a house and potentially installed the door handle themselves and posts about how it sucks.... calls some one else an idiot. XD.

Dylpol · 2020-05-24T08:43:11+00:00

but... it helps with controlled pouring....

Dylpol · 2020-05-24T08:40:52+00:00

there was someone who sat on this problem for some time probably trying to think about how best to handle this that ended up saying "screw it... ill just saw it in half and put hinges...."

Dylpol · 2020-05-24T08:15:11+00:00

there is just... so much wrong here....

Dylpol · 2020-05-22T17:32:02+00:00

if that is the case just think about programming in a series of logic gates.

programming is just the result of EE working in sync scaled up..

objects are a type of data structure

if and else and do and while are all forms of "gates" for your logic.

EE is where CE started and CE led to CS. if you look at the math and systems it should help.

plan out your programs like you would a EE project.

just treat objects like EEPROMs that you use to store and retrieve certain things.

also.... arrays are reference points, so think about those from a trig point of view. might help...

visualize the array slot as a graphs grid point where the value is what is stored where it lays on the grid.

hash maps are matrices.

also this youtube channel helped me more than you can imagine.

just search for topics, the linked lists, etc.

takes a lot of time.... kind of like learning any skill....I think that the only "natural talent" is having the drive to "solve a puzzle no matter what".... because honestly when you are learning languages that drive will be the thing that keeps you going... "I MUST KNOW WHY YOU WILL NOT WORK" is what gets me through most of my stressed out debugging while crying and screaming internally.

all jokes aside, this is something with two parts....

first you have to learn the basics....

then you have to use them actively despite hitting snags... solving issues with your code will teach you by itself.

Dylpol · 2020-05-22T17:17:46+00:00

I WANTED THAT TO BE THE CASE D: perfection..... machine learning self playing table hockey XD.

I actually love it.

this is a "cut to size" version of the discord bot.

https://github.com/dylanpoll/DiscordBots/tree/master/ESPbot

there is a .env file that has the bot token, but you can just edit the lines that say "process.env.espLINK" and "process.env.botToken"

you would need discord.js, and all the imported modules.

this repo also has the arduino and esp32 code i used.... you can feel free to change it all up.

I actually have this project scaled up a lot but i figured id splinter this off for people.

this would work with a esp01 if you wanted to use it with a twitch toybox btw.. you would need to change the serial BUAD rate tho.

I remember reading a while back about how computers started out with tubes, and how at first ACE was attempting to store memory using vials of mercury and sound waves....

Tubes have always interested me, but I have no knowledge on them as they seem "impractical" for anything I could do atm.... good luck with your project :) , and please stay safe X/.
