#How to clean a logitech g710 keyboard mod
Finally, if it turns out this doesn't work for any reason then you're stuffed, because you can't easily undo this mod (your stock cable is now cut up). Another is that I didn't keep enough of a record to be 100% sure that this is the right thing to do – I went by tracing the connections using a multimeter instead of wire colors. There are two black wires on one of the plugs, and a black+yellow on the other, which should all be soldered together. The idea is to cut them off and connect same colors together. This is a little fiddly, and if you aren't too comfortable with fiddly soldering, you may wish to practice first.Īnother possibility is to repurpose the white connectors from the stock cable. I decided to wire up my port by connecting one of the small white port pins directly to the USB socket like so: I won't be responsible for you destroying your expensive keyboard while following these instructions. Simply unscrew the grounding terminal and unplug the two connectors:ĭisclaimer: there is always the possibility of permanently damaging your keyboard, whether it's because your board is slightly different to mine ( my PCB revision), or my instructions aren't too clear, or you are unlucky enough to zap your board with static electricity, or whatever. The cable isn't soldered to the board, making removal trivial. This procedure is described in detail in my earlier post: G710+ disassembly. Simple, right? Step 1: remove the bottom cover Now just cut out that long loop and make the connection inside the keyboard: So in order to use the existing port as a detachable cable port, all we need is to short the two together like so: One connects the keyboard, the other one is simply a pass-through (basically a USB extension cable). This keyboard's stock cable has two USB plugs on the end. Tools required: screwdriver, soldering iron, some wire. Last time I took apart my G710+, I suspected that this port might be easy to re-wire to act as the main USB cable instead of an extension for another USB peripheral. The ease of this mod stems from the fact that this keyboard already has a female USB Type A port installed on its back, intended for plugging in a mouse or a flash drive. Fortunately, modding a Logitech G710+ to make its cable detachable is as easy as can be. A detachable cable is the next best thing, but those aren't exactly common either. Perhaps it's because of a history of notoriously unreliable wireless keyboards and mice, or maybe it's just because you can't power that backlight off batteries for very long (and everyone seems to want a backlight these days, especially on a pricey keyboard). Solution in my post below.For whatever reason, wireless mechanical keyboards aren't particularly common.
#How to clean a logitech g710 keyboard trial
Worst part is trying to trouble shoot this is eating into limited trial time, so yeah, that's fun.Įdit: Solved! For now at least. I play all shooters with a mouse and keyboard typically because that's what I find most comfortable, and suddenly having to switch into a controller setup on Mass Effect feels odd. I really don't want to play this game with my 360 control. And despite my mouse lagging on my desktop when the game is running in the background, the mouse seemed to perform okay in game. I restarted the game and tried again, but am still stuck with a Ryder who takes even the subtlest of movement commands to mean run a lap around the entire room.īefore I start digging too deep into seeing if I can fix this, I was wondering if anyone else with this keyboard (Logitech G710+) or with a Logitech keyboard is running into this issue? I figure it's a common keyboard model, so whether or not someone else is having issues like this will help me narrow down if something on my setup is going wrong.
So I plugged in my 360 control and tried controlling it with that. I quickly checked to see if my 360 control is plugged in and if something weird is going on, but that wasn't the case.
Curious now, I tapped W quickly and Ryder proceeded to run again as if I held the W key for a good 10 seconds. I let go of W and proceeded to watch Ryder run around the room for a good minute. I hit the usual W to move over to the cryo pod and I immediately notice that I can't stop moving forward. After jumping back into the game and getting through the initial dialogue choices and opening scene, the game finally gave me the "walk over here" command for the tutorial. I figured it's probably just an optimization thing.
I started up my trial, and immediately noticed that when I had to alt+tab out to my desktop my mouse and keyboard were both lagging behind my inputs like crazy. Alright so I don't usually create threads with tech issues because typically I can find the answer just by looking around, but I have yet to see anyone mention this problem I've run into.
