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. :/

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.

Mac Mini doesn't recognize wireless keyboard

Have new Mac Mini. It has recognized bluetooth track pad but not the bluetooth keyboard that has functioned with Macbook Air previously.

Yes it is charged and I went ahead and changed out the current batteries to new ones. When doing and going through the prompts it continues to not recognize the wireless keyboard via bluetooth. The mac mini does recognize the wireless track pad.

Latest iTunes update: computer doesn't recognize DVD drive

I updated iTunes and my computer doesn't recognize my keyboard and my DVD drive.
I was able to get the keyboard back by unplugging it and plugging it back in.
I had to do a system restore to get back the DVD drive.
I don't want to reinstall the update until I'm sure this won't happen again.

Hello matthewfromwindber,

Logitech S 530: Mac Mini sometimes doesn't recognise the keyboard/mouse

Hi!
I bought the Logitech S 530 for my Mac Mini Intel Core Solo some weeks ago. Sometimes the mac doesn't recognize the keyboard/mouse set and the Logitech Control Center say "No logitech-hardware found". And then all the extra buttons on my mouse and keyboard doesn't work. A simple restart doesn't solve the problem. Often I habe to switch of the computer or even deinstall und reinstall the driver. I wrote to the Logitech Support, and they told me to delete as a root-user some files and then to reinstall the Logitech Control Center. I did it, but the problem wasn't solved. Even if the Logitech Control Center told me, that the hardware wasn't found, the system profiler say:
USB Receiver:
Version: 22.40
Bus-Strom (mA): 500
Geschwindigkeit: Bis zu 1,5 MBit/s
Hersteller: Logitech
Produkt-ID: 0xc50c
Hersteller-ID: 0x046d
Does anyone have a idea about this problem?
Thank you,
Sebastian

Hi!
Has it continued to work alright since your last post
on Sept. 30?
Yes, it works very good (as you can read, because I type on it!)
But I got some news from the APE-Support:
They told me, that this message in the system.log isn't a error message: "You'll see these messages simply to inform that Application Enhancer cannot and does not affect processes owned by root. They are purely informative." Then I asked, why this "information" is written in the system.log I got another mail. They told me, that this message came from a maxtor software, which I installed to use my externel drive. and: "The maxtor software doesn't use APE at all. APE is saying it cannot affect the software in any manner, in case you were expecting it to work with the maxtor software. I'm not sure if that maxtor software even works. If you don't use the button on your maxtor drive, you can just disable the maxtor software completely."
So, I seems that there is a problem between this logitech driver with APE and the Maxtor-Stuff. But, Ashleyn, do you use the maxtor software too?

My iMac doesn't recognize by usb keyboard since I installed security update 2015-002

I installed Security Update 2015-002 on my iMac and since then it doesn't recognize my usb keyboard (I'm typing this with a bluetooth keyboard). I rebooted, unplugged and plugged back in the keyboard all to no avail.
My system:
Yosemite 10.10.2
Mid 2011 iMac 27"
3.4 GHz i7
16 GB RAM
Keyboard: Apple extended USB
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Mine works okay.
Do a backup, using either Time Machine or a cloning program, to ensure files/data can be recovered. Two backups are better than one.
Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
Isolating an issue by using another user account
Try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account. Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear and again when you log in. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don’t do them all at once.

Steelseries engine not recognising keyboard

Hi.
I've made a post about this before, but to no avail.
Basically, i bought a GE70-2PC laptop ~6months ago. The first few months, the backlight on the keyboard worked fine with the included steelseries software. Now, that same software does not recognize the keyboard anymore and exits automatically. It does not update, and the countless reinstalls i've done do not work. I'm tempted to format my computer just to get the keyboard working again, but i don't want to lose all of my stuff and have to redownload everything i have on here.
Please help.

Don't know if it's the same issue but a few weeks ago I my keyboard just stopped working, just as the track pad. Didn't notice it directly since I have an external keyboard and mouse attached.
Long story short: the problem was a failed windows update (win 8.1pro x64). Did a "check for updates" manually and the update installed fine this time. That fixed it...
I've got win7

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

I just opened my new Mac Pro and I have a USB keyboard, not a bluetooth -- it doesn't recognize the USB keyboard and I can't get past the "bluetooth keyboard pairing" screen.

What specific KB?
Do you know it works?
I set my 2103 nMP with an older (black) Apple USB KB and it worked fine

SteelSeries Engine is really a fantastic gaming tool!

I just got a GT60 gaming laptop with SteelSeries Engine, and this feature is really fantastic!
We could setup macros for different games with about 74 keys, others only got 10~20 keys.
We could setup keypress macros, text macros, launch program control, and disable this key.
We could have 4 layers of keyboard for 4 usages or 4 types of games macros, others cannot.
We could setup 4 kinds of backlit style with 4 layers keyboard.

the delay editing is also a terrific function which is easy to fine tune and "human-like" macro key-in.
I believe there is few bundled software in the market can support function like that.

Remap PGUP/Home and PGDN/End keys using Steelseries Engine

I just got an MS60 Ghost Pro. I didn't pay attention to it before I bought it, but the document location keys are all lumped together. I use this laptop for work and play, so having to push extra keys to use Home and End is extremely awkward.
Is there a way to remap the PGUP key so it just does Home, and the PGDN key just does End using the Steelseries Engine? Ideally, I'd like to switch the mapping so PGUP does Home and Fn + PGUP does Page Up. I tried to do it with a macro and it kept saying "Reserved." Has anyone else dealt with this issue? Couldn't find a quick answer through a Google search. Thx.

To get what you need, you have to remap key function in two different keyboard layers and I do not think it would increase your work efficiency. You can set PGUP key as "home" in a layer and set PGUP key as its default in another layer and switch between layers when needed. OR you can assign another key as PGUP function and set PGUP key as home key in one layer which will be more efficient in my opinion, then you do not need to switch layers.
When you see "reserved" in keypreses column, you are one step left to complete the setup. Just goto Profiles at the left hand column and press save button.

Apple TV 3 can't recognize my keyboard

Hi,
I have iMac and I try use my keyboard for apple TV 3. Apple TV 3 can't recognize my keyboard when I try found my keyboard in Apple TV 3 Bluetooth settings. Do anybody knows what is problem? I try disconnect keyboard from iMac but when I turn on keyboard it automatically connect to iMac because iMac is in Bluetooth range of keyboard when it is in my living room (where is my apple tv). Also, I try shut down iMac but without success.
My Bluetooth settings can't recognize keyboard and doesn't show list. I can see only loading icon.
I buy my apple TV few days ago and did update software yesterday to 6,2 version I think.
Thank you.

And How it can be properly disconnected via bluetooth prefs? I try disconnect, but when I press any key on keyboard It immediatly connect to mac. I found in bluetooth prefs remove function to remove keyboard from bluetooth list.

SteelSeries Engine and GT70-20k WS

I have a GT70-20k WS and I've heard that you can use the Steelseries engine to control the keyboard but I can't figure out how to get it to work. Does anyone know how to get the engine to detect the keyboard?

I think steelseries engine is for MSI gaming notebook not workstation.
You can only find SSE download link on 800M series gaming notebook.
