Aorus X5 V7, X7 V7, DT X7 all estimated for June release in USA

Ok.... I'm freaking out..... does ANYONE have any idea what should I do if my keyboard only select VOWEL with accents... like this:

https://ibb.co/kaCnEv [\IMG]

Example: áíííúúáéé

I just started the x5 v7.... even with a Bluetooth keyboard, it reacts the same...

 

Sorry to hear this and what have you done so far? updates bios and keyboard firmware (1.81.)? You can check KB firmware by running the updater and cancel out once you see the #.

 

Mine is on 1.1.9 and have had no issues.

 

I'm on 1.8.1 with no issues.

Regarding Audio EQ, does it close when you hit the X? Mine closes but i can see the icon on the taskbar still running. My X7 didn't have this issue.

 

When I close Audio EQ by using the X, I do not show it in Notifications.

 

ok, thanks. i just reinstalled and now it closes properly.

 

Keyboard version is 1.1.8 (not sure I should update to 1.1.9 after tutu0405 comment...)
BIOS is FB0D / F009

keyboard is working now but the track pad clicks stopped responding after a few hours (had to restart) now trher lettrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr R is going crazy.........

 

Is that the latest BIOS? Up to you to try, do you plan to RMA the laptop? If you are then you have nothing to lose.

I don't understand why keyboard issue need to update the BIOS?
I am buying cheap keyboard from the shop and plug into my computer and work properly, no need to update anything!

I don't know how popular Gigabyte laptop at overseas but from Taiwan , seen not many people buying and shops don't recommend Gigabyte as well.

Asus, MSI, Dell don't have keyboard issue why Aorus has?

 

Strange... when I plugged a Bluetooth keyboard the letter R behaved strange for a bit... when I pressed it a few times the laptop didn't register any keys for a few seconds a few times. But now it's it registers fine...

Not sure if that could be a clue for some software problem or just unluck...

Of course the letter R on the laptop still go crrrrrazy...

Keyboard v 1.1.9 is still the same...........

 

I guess last thing to try is to reinstall windows 10 or should I try something else before?

 

Anyone speak to this system? Current 17r4 user 7820hk and 1080gtx. However the thermals are too much and my third replacement is being returned.

Looking for advice. How are the thermals on this system?

 

My X7 DT has thermal issues and going to be returned back to NewEgg. While I won't always be playing games at L4 OC, it shouldn't crash during benchmarks. UV doesn't save it from crashing and rebooting either. I might be able to help alleviate thermals issues with a re-paste but not worth it since i don't even like 4k on it.

 

Thanks... Man hate to say it but the Zephyrus is looking better and better. Esp. After going through so many Alienwares.

 

Yes it is the latest one according to drivers update program.

Does the trackpad has some known issue? once in a while presses stop getting recorded and need restart of system... (or wait a minute)

I'll see with Aorus rep if a windows re-install get things solved. (need to be sure I get all programs links)

 

My x7 DT responded the same with the 1.1.9 update. All keys were off by one. Wouldn't resolve even with complete reset to factory settings. Got it working again by installing 1.1.3 which I think reset the keyboard in bios.

Also have the 'r' key problem. If I slightly brush my finger over the r key it rrrrregisters keystrokes (not depressing key). Frustrating when trying to type in passwords.

Hardware issue?

 

I know 2 people in here with DT's and they don't have issues with thermals.

My DT track pad didn't have any issues and works very well for me.

Personally, I would just RMA it, you shouldn't have to do this out of the box. Spending this amount of cash, you expect perfection and rightfully deserved.

 

Aorus X5 v7 Laptop Review: In-depth 1080p & 4K Benchmarks

 

I'm using 1.1.9 keyboard firmware and no issues, it actually fixed an issue where ctrl+shift+n didn't register when I got the laptop with 'stock' firmware. 1.2.0 has been released, but haven't had a chance to try it yet.

 

So Is the X5 MD going to have a 1440p 120hz screen?

Also curious for those with the X5 and X7 dt v7? Compared to the 17r4 what types of issues are being seen. I went through 3 replacements and one on site replacement of the 17r4 and just gave up.

 

What I can definitely say is that it seems to happen when the temperature rises (even by a bit).
If your laptop is cool (at startup), it doesn't do it. Or what do you think?

With 1.2.0 RIGHT SHIFT + RIGHT CTRL works!!!

Before I couldn't do Rctrl + C or V for example.

However Rshift + second row from bottom still don't work... ( so \zxcvbnm,./ isn't working)

 

Wished that included temps.

 

Post in the video comments and ask

 

I did, =)

 

I think he said that the CPU temp went up to 88C I believe.

 

I might of missed that part, thanks.

 

So, I hate to be another one to mention the keyboard in a negative light, but the spacebar (which sounds different/loud compared to all the other keys) likes to not register a click unless it's hit hard, harder then what I am use to, and harder than all the other keys. This is especially true when hit right in the center, which is how I hit it when I use my right thumb. It seems as though I can recreate the issue with some other keys as well (especially the F row), but they're not nearly as bad. It seems as though the key activation is extremely deep, so you can actually press down the key and feel the mechanical feedback, but it won't get registered unless you press harder; in other words, you can press the key all the way down, and without depressing the key, continue to keep pressing down to register clicks. It's a shame since the keyboard is otherwise excellent; I really like the travel distance, layout, comfort, and the silence of the keys (except for the loud spacebar). Do note that if you're a hard typer, this would not be an issue for you.

On a side note, not sure if this was part of the recent 4.0.3 update to Command and Control, but the GPU OC steps (1-4) are now: 10, 20, 30, 50. So with the stock at GPU Clock at 1443 (1645 Boost),on step for you'll get 1493 (1695 Boost). Personally not a fan of this continually changing with different versions, and I'd personally recommend using a different utility for OCing until Aorus updated C&C to allow for saving of custom profiles.

Due to the spacebar, I'll likely do a replacement of this laptop and hope the next doesn't exhibit the issue (and would be nice if it had less light bleed).

 

My Keyboard also takes more force than I was used to. I now can type decent but still miss a few strokes from not hitting the key hard enough.

@Derek712 verified that the keys required more force to register, He has the values listed in his review.

 

Right, and I don't mind a 'high' actuation force, the problem is that when key has been pressed, it should always register, and this is not the case for the spacebar and at least some keys in the F row. A certain extra level of force is necessary for the spacebar to register after it has been pressed down. If you're a hard typer, you might not notice, but for me, I have to constantly go back and insert spaces between words because the keyboard didn't register the press.

I'm curious if others with the x5 v7 could check if they're able to press the spacebar without it being registered, especially when pressed in the middle of the spacebar.

 

Hopefully Gigablows fixes the issue, seems like more than just a few people have a problem?

 

The various KB issues isn't new either, it has happened on previous revisions and it has reared its ugly head on the new v7 revisions as well.

 

Is it software or hardware?

From reading various forums post of people who have keyboard issues, could be a combo of both.

 

How wide spread is it. I was about to pull the trigger on this one after having so many issues with my 17r4's (three different ones)

mine does not have any issues, I just had a learning curve but I type fine now.

If you are buying from Xotic and having them CLU the CPU, then I would have them test the keyboard as well.

 

Issues like this are why I always end up buying laptops for under $1,000. If you're going to make me shell out top dollar, I do not expect to be making very many compromises. Once the Intel 9260 wifi cards are out, I'm going to throw one into my Y410p, repaste it while I'm inside, and keep rolling with it for another year or two.

 

Sorry It didn't mean in that way. It's nothing like that, there are cases, I'm sorry for using poor choices of words.

 

Is they keyboard jamming working as intended for not being an anti ghosting keyboard? Trying to figure this out before pulling the trigger. It would seem that is it a hardware issue not software issue?

 

Where are you going to order the laptop from? I would suggest from a reseller if you're in the US, I believe they also sell internationally too.

 

Xoticpc has some. I was going to go with them. But looks like the keyboard Jamming is on every laptop... This is a new go for a fps player I would think. Must be software because they advertise as a anti-ghosting keyboard. From the past looks like they never fixed previous keyboard issues. What is the hope of them coming out with a hot fix for this one?

 

If their track record means anything, revisions of the keyboard firmware are being released but being able to fix all the issues is another story. At least they are trying with the release of firmware updates.

 

Have they had keyboard jamming in the past? IT is a real shame I was really ready to pull the plug esp. with the 17r4 issues driving me nuts for 30 days.

 

they have various keyboard issues here and there, you tend to read forums post of people having issues more than not, take that into account. plus, its a crapshoot if you were to get one or not and I'm pretty sure XoticPC will help you out if you have any issues though.

I'm still going to buy one though even though I've had bad luck with them.

 

You will just return it lol.

 

*jedi mind trick hand wave* You don't see any patterns of me continuously returning Aorus laptops

 

I just want to mention that notebookcheck has posted their review on the X7 v7 model!

 

Regarding the keyboard issue, the max firmware revision that is stable as of now is 1.1.8. 1.1.9 has been killing a lot of keyboards lately

I am on 1.2.0 and seems ok?

 

Oh they put out 1.2.0? How long have you been using it? Took a couple of days for the 1.1.9 issue to crop up

Been on it now for 2 days.
