Lord_Nibbo Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 I use a Corsair STRAFE RGB Mechanical Keyboard, Backlit Multicolor LED keyboard. But I have issues with it if I want to enter the BIOS on boot up. As the computer doe's not see the keyboard untill it has loaded the drivers and or software and this is too late to get to open the BIOS, I think it's because it's programmable that causes my problem. I'm prepared to buy a new keybaord but I do want a backlit LED keyboard. What backlit keyboards do you have that has no problem opening the BIOS on bootup?

dogdish Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 Probably need to enable USB Legacy mode or something like that in BIOS. Check your manual.

johnost Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 I have a keyboard that I love. The brand name is AZIO, it is inexpensive, has extra large key symbols that are backlit in selectable colors. I can't see the model number, because it is covered by a glued-on label, but a Google search should find it. It works fine at boot-up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dogdish Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 If I could get to the bios I woldn't need a keyboard would I Some motherboards have a "Direct to BIOS" button (Mine does). That's why I suggested you check your motherboard manual. But since you want to be a smartass, your on your own.

johnost Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 As I recall, my keyboard runs directly from the Windows driver. If your present keyboard has a unique driver installed, the loading may be delaying the activation enough to get passed the BIOS access. Just a thought.
