ROG Strix Scope II 96 Wireless On-Board Memory Not Working Properly

ROG Strix Scope II 96 Wireless

1) Go into Armory and go to Keys section of the keyboard.
2) Click on the letter "A", then on the right hand side, select Preset Input Text. Enter something like "lol".
3) Change keyboard to bluetooth, connect to a device without Armory such as your phone.
4) Go to somewhere you can type.
5) Press "A"
6) Nothing happens.

If we had rebound "A" to options like Keyboard Function (say "B"), or Multimedia (say "Volume Up") in AC, then it would actually save to the on-board memory properly, and you could use it even on a device that doesn't have Armory.

Even Macros can be saved to the on-board memory.

However, Preset Input Text isn't saving to the on-board memory despite it being a relatively simple function. Let's assume the most common Unicode encoding, where each character is 2 bytes. Even if someone is crazy enough to use the entirety of the 250 characters limit, that is 500 bytes, or roughly 0.5 KB of space. There is no way this is a hardware limitation issue.

Mind you this is a very very expensive keyboard, advertising that it has on-board memory with 5 profiles.

I don't know if posting about this issue here will actually get it fixed, but I'm hoping someone can pass this down to the relevant department.

Hi @Valour59 

I've replicated the behaviour in as far as the selected key for text input doesn't function at all when used on another device. I've made the team aware of the behaviour.

Hello Valour59

Did as you said, the function works, but I wasn't able to save it to the onboard memory.

While it only states profiles, I'm pretty sure the onboard memory is only for lighting profiles. Pressing Fn + 12345 accesses the 5 preset lighting profiles of the onboard memory, Fn + 6 is the default lighting profile.

 

 

 

 

The onboard memory is definitely not only for lighting profiles.

Create a macro, something simple like type 12345. Now set the letter A so its function becomes the macro. Use the keyboard on another device like your phone, press A, and you will see 12345 being shown.

If macros work for on-board memory, there is no reason why Preset Input Text shouldn't work. This is most likely an oversight.

Please pass this bug onto the relevant department.

Unfortunately, the recent firmware update version 8 did not fix the issue 😕
