Those are still occuring: The display wont update the battery icon, so you dont really know how much % is left before you need to recharge it. Additionall

New keyboard just arrived: VANGUARD AIR 99 WIRELESS

Thanks for replying. Seems Corsair released a half baked, untested product... I have made a dedicated post on this issue and have contacted support.
