Lighting doesn't come back on for keyboard after turning off. Also lighting doesn't respect "switch off" settings for mouse or keyboard.

Hi, 

 

Once the lighting on my Deathstalker V2 Pro turns off, it doesn’t turn back on when I start to use the keyboard again. Keyboard is currently unplugged but at 91% battery. The lighting does turn back on for my Basilisk v3 pro, also unplugged, once I start using it again. 

 

Not sure if it matters but I have the keyboard and mouse both set to “Switch off lighting when idle for [5] minutes” which only works for the mouse. I’ve also got shut off set to “when display is turned off” but this doesn’t work for either device. The keyboard ultimately shuts off due to the setting “Device will turn off after [15] minutes of inactivity when running on battery” under power. 

 

My ideal situation would be that lighting for both devices turns off when I turn off my display (but computer is still running). Not sure if this is possible (for reference my monitor is connected to a 5080 over display port). If not, then the keyboard should at least respect the second setting of turning off after 5 minutes of inactivity like the mouse does. But in either case the lighting should come back on when I start using the keyboard again. Is this possible?

Good to know I’m not the only one! Been having this issue a lot lately with my Ornata V3 and Basilisk V3. I’ve also had a weird issue where, if the lights don’t turn on or freeze on one frame, my up arrow doesn’t work. It’ll work fine if I unplug and replug it back in or if it doesn’t freeze at all, but the moment that happens my up arrow stops working. Only the up arrow too, which I find odd.

I’ve repaired my Synapse and Chroma apps along with turning off the “when display is turned off” option. I’ve got my display to turn off after 3 minutes of inactivity and my peripherals to do the same, so maybe having both options is making something bug out? Food for thought, might see if this fixes it and come back to let someone know.
