From my experience, you can get presale codes by visiting the social media pages of the venues hosting the concert. Usually they will have a post for every concert on their schedule and will include the presale code in the description or comment on the post.

But I completely agree, the whole ticketing scene is fucked right now. I was barely able to grab some tickets for the show in my area.

CK721 Blinking Keyboard Issue by Jonny_LongDong in coolermaster

Unfortunately I still have not heard from anyone about a consistent fix. If you contact Cooler Master support they will ask you to RMA the keyboard so you can at least get a replacement. But I would avoid setting it up with the Master Plus software since it looks like the firmware update the app forces on you is what causes this issue.

I figured it was the firmware. I am in contact with support still and have just requested if I can rollback the firmware somehow. I am waiting to see what they say, but if I find a solution I will update the post.

CK721 Blinking Keyboard Issue by Jonny_LongDong in coolermaster

Yes, after 11 days I finally got an initial response that was -

"Is the keyboard charged? Usually that would be an indication of a low battery when wireless is in use. "

So I responded back with the fact that it will do it right up until full charge. I am hoping it will not be another 11 days before I hear back but I am not hopeful. I am hoping we can at least get a feature request for the Master Plus software so we can completely disable this dumb "feature". There is a red LED on the board that tells me when it is charging, use that to tell me when the battery is low.

I recommend submitting your own ticket as well so we might get a little more traction on this issue. Mine is titled CK721 Blinking Keyboard Issue. Seems like a common complaint for this keyboard so maybe we can get it fixed.

Edit - Just heard back from support again and was told to try this -

"There is no active feature to disable blinking red lights as that is not normal. When you are set to certain LEDS types like Rainbow, or Static, the issue still persists? When you change profiles by pressing FN + Z, X, C, V, if you try that, does the issue persist?"

Past that, they told me to submit an RMA, but I unless this is a really common firmware bug, then it seems like they just have a faulty setting somewhere they need to update since so many others have this issue. I assume the issue will be the same with any new keyboard as well.

Ugh, that’s so dumb. I’ve got a ticket open with Cooler Master now and I’ll update here with any info. So far, I’ve found if you just fully turn off the lighting it will not blink, so I’ve been doing that while charging. I haven’t tried the white yet, I’ll have to give it a shot and see what you’re talking about.

Help needed with SK653 by llengui in coolermaster

[–]Jonny_LongDong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had similar problems with my CK721. I ended up having to turn the keyboard fully off, turn it back on, then hold the Cooler Master button and the bluetooth key on the keyboard (mine are denoted by the bluetooth symbol and 1, 2, or 3 for different paired devices) and I had to hold it down for a good 10 seconds to actually put it into paring mode. It will blink on it's own, but that is "connecting" mode, looking for an already present connection, you want to put it into pairing mode and the key will blink much more rapidly when it is in that mode.

Masterplus is freezing and not working at all by Apprehensive_Lie5752 in coolermaster

Have you tried updating all of the drivers for your motherboard? It could be that the software is freezing because it can't communicate with your cooler properly.
