Cooler Master Masterkeys Pro M (White LED)


I noticed this issue while playing with my new keyboard. I have reported to the retailer I bought it from and also emailed CoolerMaster (support@coolermaster.eu).

Steps to reproduce.
  1. Take a laptop running Windows 10. Please make sure that the account is protected by password and password is asked when waking up from sleep.
  2. Connect the Cooler Master Masterkeys Pro M keyboard http://www.coolermaster.com/peripheral/keyboards/masterkeys-pro-m-white/.
  3. Make sure the keyboard is properly working with the laptop.
  4. Put the laptop to standby/sleep.
  5. Wake up the laptop by pressing any of the letters key (A-Z) on the keyboard. This happens with other keys as well, such as Ctrl key but it is hard to show effect of that on login screen.
  6. In the password prompt, (if the keyboard has issue) you'll see that some characters being typed continuously, as dots. 
  7. If you see those dots, you can click on the 'eye' like icon to view that it is the same character as the one you pressed to wake up the computer from sleep.
I made a small video about this issue as well. You can watch video here.

 Update: I received replacement unit from Alza.de (Thank you), however it also has the same issue. Looks like firmware issue or someone didn't had enough test-cases.

Android 4.1.2: Google Play: Update apps over WiFi only (updated with Google's response)

I've noticed this many times in office, when I'm connected between fluctuating WiFi network (as I roam around), the nice feature of "Update apps over WiFi only" gets into action. I use a 2G/EDGE data connection when I'm not in office which is quite costly per mb of data. Well, the bug with Google Play app is that, once it starts updating app over WiFi, it doesn't stop if WiFi is lost. This has caused my cellphone bills to shoot up because I'm not aware when a WiFi connection is lost inside office. I believe even by design it should detect what kind of signal you are on and decide actions based on that. Using connected to WiFi as trigger point and not handling situations when WiFi is lost, would have costed many users. I'm not sure if people have already logged this against android. Well, I've logged it as Issue 53090 . Thank you Google. Update: I received following response from Google Play support team. Thanks for contacting us. I unde

Inconsistent search results while querying currency exchange rate

Image
Recently, when I tried to see the value of NZD (New Zealand Dollar) against other currencies, I was shocked to see that it valued so much in comparison to EUR. I didn't know NZD had valued so much in recent years but something didn't feel right. Although Google does a good job of highlighting the relevant search result, I think this has gone too far. Notice how the conversion rate is highlighted in bold and bigger characters in a mobile search result on an iOS device. On a quick look, it certainly feels like 1 NZD = 1.19 EUR, which might make some New Zealanders (temporarily) happy. If you notice carefully, it has converted 2 NZD to EUR which I didn't ask for. I thought this was probably due to simplifying the result instead of giving a 0.59 value. However, I checked back on my laptop which had different results. 1. NZD to EUR (same query on both devices) 2. NZD to USD 3. NZD to NOK The question still remains, why is it converting

Google Hangouts: Not so finished

Image
I'm still struggling to get a hold of Google hangouts. It's supposed to be cool and awesome. But, I found it little annoying at times. Specially, it fails to show the current status of my friends in the list. This morning I pinged my friend to chat about something. Again, he wasn't shown online. Moments later, he pings me back and a new chat window pops up? Why? Was he using a different ID? NO. Why does it happen? I'm not sure if I would get a reply on this one. But logically it seems (from the recent behaviour of hangouts) that every chat is part of conversation ID (when they were busy copying others). So, a different conversation ID, leads to a new chat window.  But should that be a conversation ID? I don't think so. Another annoyance is that in open chat windows, if I'm switching between (browser) tabs, the cursor stays there, but the chat is scrolled back up and it shows, 1 new message. If you really wanna show 1 new message, show me wh
