I’m sorry if this feels like pestering: any thoughts on the K63 keyboard issue? (wireless no longer works on XIM Apex with the K63’s latest firmware update). It’s been said that this may be XIM’s purview / that you might be the one to fix it. Any truth to that?
I wasn't aware of this. When did this firmware update come out and what did they say they changed?
Sorry I missed this reply!
The long/short of it is; Corsair updated the K63 Wireless' firmware to 3.07 sometime in mid-2018. They did not post a changelog, though users report better battery life and better responsiveness to keystrokes. Also the new iCUE is pretty good, compared to the old CUE (2.2x), which is pretty terrible (and can't be used with firmware 1.02 - you have to upgrade).
That said, I have purchased two K63 keyboards - one was running firmware 1.02, the other 3.07. Both were purchased within 1 week of one another. The K63 running 3.07 absolutely does not work *wirelessly* with the XIM Apex, while the K63 running 1.02 does work *wirelessly* with the XIM Apex.
The XIM Apex itself is running the Jan 2019 beta, as is the iOS app.
The one difference I am able to spot: the 3.07 wireless receiver appears multiple times in the XIM Manager's hud for the current profile (when on the app's main view, showing which profile is loaded). The XIM Manager seems to list a new entry for the K63's wireless receiver every time the keyboard is turned off/on (perhaps when the wireless connection between keyboard and receiver is established).
The K63 running 1.02 does not do this (and simply reports a single instance of the wireless receiver, as expected, in the XIM Manager's hud).
I updated the K63 running 1.02 to 3.07 and confirmed the behavior. I then downgraded that K63 back to 1.02 (and this is sort of a pain in the @#$%).
I'll add a few links below.
If this *is* something that can be addressed by XIM, I'm sure many (many) people would be very grateful - myself included.
