Steelseries engine 3 works for gs60 keyboard?

I convinced my friend to get this sexy laptop instead of a macbook.  he got a new one with 17 inch monitor gtx860 graphics card, i7 4710.  its not gs60 but pretty much the exact same thing.  with the led keyboard.  will steelseries engine 3 work for it? or do i need steelseries engine 2?

yes since i just tried the steel series engine 3 and it tells me to connect a steelseries device to laptop/pc so yeah it does not work for keyboard yet unless MSI takes new version and customize it to work with keyboard

  • SteelSeries Engine doesn't recognize my keyboard on GS60 2PC Ghost

    Hi All,
    I have had my MSI GS60 2PC Ghost for a few days now and I can't get the SteelSeries Engine to recognize my keyboard. When I open up the SteelSeries Engine it just says "Please connect a SteelSeries Engine compatible device". I have tried updating all of the drivers from the product page on MSI's website but that made no difference. I tried to update the BIOS as well but whenever I try that it fails and says "EFI_SECURITY_FAILURE, ROM file invalid". I have re-downloaded the BIOS update file from the product page several times and I'm pretty certain that I'm putting it on the USB correctly. I have also un-installed and re-installed the SteelSeries Engine multiple times and it made no difference. I am running Windows 8.1 by the way. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!

    Well if it helps the working version I have installed on my GS60 2PE 3K is 2.8.450.22786. The version I installed which didn't detect the keyboard was 3.something. If that version doesn't work then I really have no idea.
    Thanks for trying but unfortunately that is the same version I have installed and it doesn't work for me. :/

  • GT70 2PE - Steelseries Engine Not Working

    Hello,
    I have been having trouble with my laptop regarding the Steelseries Engine for my backlit keyboard on my MSI GT70 2PE (880m 8GB) with Windows 7 Professional installed.
    The steelseries engine cannot switch to other modes other than the standard or music/equalizer effect. If it is changed to anything else, the keyboard no longer lights up.
    I've been having this problem ever since I got it back from RMA after sending it in for repair due to my sound card going bad within a month (in which apparently they had to replace the entire motherboard). I sent it back in about a month ago after discovering the problem the day after I recieved it back from RMA. I didn't get much of an update until I called MSI about it and later called me back on it days later. They said my "settings were incorrect" and that they fixed it. They said that one of the other problems I also had mentioned to them was that pressing FN + "+" or "-" on the numpad turning all my backlit keys white and then getting dimmer/brighter was caused because I had Windows 7 installed even if I also didn't had that problem until I got it back.
    This isn't the first time it's been sent to RMA. The first time was sent to XoticPC because the island-style keyboard they had wasn't compatible (had wrong function key icon placements) and that the one of the three installed mSATA SSD's went bad. The 2nd RMA was for the sound card going bad. And then the 3rd being send back for this problem in which wasn't fixed at all.
    My laptop's been in RMA more than double than the time I've actually used the laptop (got my laptop in July of this year). It feels like my laptop's been nothing more than a flop/lemon.
    I have tried the following:
    - Uninstalling and Reinstalling the Steelseries Engine
    - Uninstalling and Reinstalling SCM
    - Reinstalling Windows 7 and Drivers
    - Removed the battery from laptop along with power cord to reset the EC.
    - Flashing firmware for windows 7 backlit keyboard on the MSI support/download for my model.

    I am aware of the active layers and what the Audio mode does. I have Layer 3 and 4 do wave and breathing and those do not light up the keyboard at all regardless of what colors I choose and save (and of course have it as the active layer). I tried pressing FN + "+"/"-" to be sure and still no avail.
    I did discover something though. Oddly enough I installed KLM makes the keyboard function properly. But when I try using the steelseries engine (and close out KLM to prevent conflicts), it still does not work. Could it be a possibility of the wrong motherboard (since they had to replace the motherboard on my RMA and that's when the issue appeared) being installed or anything?

  • Steelseries engine doesn't recognize gs60 ghost

    Hello,
    I bought my gs60 in June and I love it so much. Really great laptop in so many ways. One of my issues is that the steelseries engine tells me to "please connect a steelseries engine - compatible device to start". According to the sticker on my laptop, the keyboard is by steelseries. I've tried uninstalling it and re installing already. Anyone have this problem or know how to fix it? I have version 2.8.450.22786 as of this moment. Thank you!

    I'm assuming you downloaded the absolute latest version of the ENGINE from the Steelseries website like I did. I fixed my issue by getting the latest supported version from the official GS60 driver/utilities download page.

    That's alright, folks, problem solved:
    Ran Leopard Cache Cleaner, and selected from Caches the third option (deep clean).

  • GE70 Apache and Steelseries Engine

    So I have had my computer for quite a while now and the Steelseries engine was working fine, until one day the Engine stopped working, so I had to reinstall it. But when I had reinstalled it, it had said "Please Connect A Steelseries Engine - compatible device to start". The keyboard still works fine and it glows but for I'm just not able to change the colors anymore. Please help!

  • Special keyboard hotkeys not working for anyone else?

    I have a Kensington Ci70 keyboard and it has these really nice buttons to eject a disk, open Spotlight, open Mail, open Safari, and open iTunes.
    I upgraded from OS X 10.6, and they all worked.  The keyboard is a plug-n-play device and there are no drivers or software.  After upgrading to Mavericks, they stopped working.  Anyone else have a similar problem or figured out a workaround?  We couldn't program such a shortcut in Keyboard Preferences, as the computer didn't recognize any of the buttons - but the eject button still worked. 
    Apple customer support is checking in with the engineering department, but just wondered if any users have figured things out.

    I had this same issue too.  Pressing Ctrl + 1,2,3,4 would work for the numbers along the top of the keyboard but not for numbers inside the numeric keypad section on my external Apple keyboard.  Luckily, I had a back up of com.apple.symbolichotkeys.plist which contained settings that allowed all of the Ctrl + 1,2,3,4 keys to work.  I restored this backup into my Library/Preferences directory and all is well.

  • SteelSeries Engine 3 lacks support for Sensei MLG mouse

    Greetings,
    We recently purchased a GT80 Titan-001 notebook which uses SteelSeries Engine 3 to configure the special features of the Titan's built-in SteelSeries mechanical keyboard with Cherry MX switches. When we connected our SteelSeries Sensei MLG mouse to the Titan, we were disappointed to discover that version 3 of the SteelSeries Engine is not compatible with it. We had to install SteelSeries Engine 2 to support this top-of-the-line gaming mouse.
    Fortunately, both SteelSeries Engines 2 and 3 can be run at the same time. But it strikes us as wasteful and weird that SteelSeries would drop support for the Sensei MLG from its current engine---especially since this used to be their best mouse. It's still an amazing mouse and we wouldn't trade it for any other!
    Kind regards, David

  • Autocorrection for every keyboard not working in iOS 6

    Apple promised at WWDC "Autocorrection for every keyboard".  I am using a Bluetooth keyboard on an iPad 2 with iOS 6 and it's not working.  The same is true on iPhone 5.  I have it enabled in settings and it works with the virtual keyboard.

    I have an iPhone 4 with current iOS.
    I've noticed this over the past few months. I always notice it on the FB app. My short cuts stop working. I will check email or note. I figured restarting the phone would fix it.
    Here's the thing. Obviously I use FB a lot, but this short cut issues never happens in text messages, Whatsapp, or email. Always with FB.
    In fact I noticed that I get sluggish typing performance typing using the FB app whether I use the keyboard short cuts or not.
    Just wondering if this common among iPhone 4 users.

  • My wireless keyboard won't work for one of the users

    All of a sudden the wireless keyboard stopped working for me, but it works when my wife logs in.  I had to create a new account for myself and the keyboard now works.  However, the keyboard won't work for my original account. Any thoughts?

    Does it shows up as a device in your BT menu under the problematic user? Does it connect? If you delete it from your admin account and re-pair it, does it work?
    There is a command called ioreg, which can help as well.
    Here is sample output from ioreg -lw0 | grep -i keyboard

    Hello,
    I think Spark cured this for another person and the same problem...

  • Firefox(20.0.1) is ignoring my proxy server for google searches from website and the search box. It works for all other search engines and chrome/safari.

    firefox(20.0.1)
    squid (port 3128) and dansguardian (port 8080) not running in transparent mode.
    I am applying blacklists and a custom url regex to apply "safe=vss", this works for all browsers and all search engines except firefox using google search engine.
    Search engines tested (bing, yahoo, norton, ask, amazon, avg, ebay) - all work.
    Links from the search results are blocked by content filter, but search results still appear and google images are still shown. This does not happen in Chrome(23.0.1271.97), IE9(9.0.8), Opera(12.14) or Safari(5.1.7) with the same settings.
    No log entry appears in Dansguardian access.log implying proxy settings are being ignored for just this combination.

    I can't think of a reason that one particular webpage would behave differently from all the others, i.e., if you are starting at google.com and running a search using the form in the page, I'm not aware of any reason for Firefox to handle that specially just because it's Google.
    Does it make a difference if you disable JavaScript when using Google? If that yields the results you expect, perhaps Google's XMLHttpRequest AJAX traffic is bypassing your filters?
    The search bar has its own code, so someone would need to look at that to see whether/why it bypasses your proxy if the above hypothesis does not apply.

  • A barcode scanner that was connected directly to the Mac's USB port stopped working as the "USB had too much power drawn", even though it has worked for over a year in that port.  WHen we plugged it into the port on the keyboard, the device works. Why?

    A barcode scanner that was connected directly to the Mac's USB port stopped working as the "USB had too much power drawn", even though it has worked for over a year in that port.  When we plugged it into the port on the keyboard, the device works. Why?  Obviously the device is operational.  Could the USB port have burned out from having too much power drawn?  If so, is it reparable?

    It can't draw "too much" power, it can only draw as much as the USB port is able to provide and no more. IIRC, the keyboard port has a lower power output than the iMac's port.
    That being said, yea, it's possible that the port has failed and it can be replaced or if another port works you can use that one. Although if it is still under warranty or covered by Apple Care, then I would take it to an Apple Store or service provider to get the port repaired.

  • I have bought the wireless keyboard for my iPad.  I was working for a day but now the power light won't stay on and as such won't connect to the iPad.  I have changed the batteries but still no difference.

    I have bought the wireless keyboard for my iPad.  I was working for a day but now the power light won't stay on and as such won't connect to the iPad.  I have changed the batteries but still no difference.

    Not knowing which wireless keyboard you bought, it is difficult to be specific.  but ...
    it is quite normal for the keyboard's power light not to stay on - it is a way of conserving battery power.
    Try this:
    turn you keyboard off
    on your iPad go to Settings > Bluetooth
    if your keyboard is listed under Devices, then touch the little blue i to its right and choose Forget this Device
    now reset your iPad:  hold both the Home and Power buttons down for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears, let go promptly when the Apple logo appears and wait another 30 seconds for your iPad to turn itself on
    After your iPad is back on again go back to Settings > Bluetooth
    now turn your keyboard back on and see if it appeard under Now Discoverable
         if it doesn't read your keyboard guide to figure out how to put it into Discovery mode
    touch the listing for your keyboard under Now Discoverable, it should now appear under Devices
    touch the listing for you keyboard under Devices, and choose to pair with it.
