Uninstall whatever version u already have, reboot and then install this:

http://www.roccat.org/en-US/Support/Downloads/#/3/Gaming-Keyboards/53/Isku-FX/27/Windows---10-64-Bit/V1.10/FW1.06/

If this download is slow for you; here is a good Mirror site that has it.
http://www.touslesdrivers.com/index.php?v_page=23&v_code=43185

The download includes the Driver 1.10 + FX Software + Firmware 1.06
Make sure you update the Keyboard's firmware

How do I update the firmware of the keyboard?
Also my computer is a 32 bit, could that be an issue?

Why would u ever have 32bit OS?
Never use that. Especially on Gaming PC.

Then go to the ROCCT link and when it loads up, select Win10 32bit
The Win10 one has all OS; win7/8, etc. So I just use that one. But if 32bit OS, then u must always use 32bit Drivers.

But you should just go download 64bit OS and install that. They use the same prodcut key regardless of which one u use, 32 vs 64

Whenever I open the isku fx program it always has a pop-up saying that I need the latest version, even though I literally just downloaded it from the site

It's probably a software bug. Contact their support group and see what they have to say.

I'm waiting for a response from them, it seems like there might be a newer version available that they don't have posted

Bad 💀 Motha Mar 25, 2016 @ 5:43pm

That software is not the only one with that kinda of bug; it could be an issue though due to the fact that the 32bit was only ever updated to 1.08; where as the 64bit version is 1.10

So the 32bit version might be thinking "Hey there is v1.10 out, please update me"
When in fact it is wrong.

If the software has a way to turn off auto updates; just do that.

Do you have any idea where I'd find the auto updates area?

Bad 💀 Motha Mar 25, 2016 @ 5:49pm

If it is suggesting there is an updated version to download; then I would have to assume (as I can't run that to check) that the software has a "Check for Updates" within it's Options/Settings area.

ive got a 64-bit system having a similar issue, after initially installing and toying with the driver i was getting delays (through the windows defender issue) but when i later went to change some settings it was like the driver and the hardware were speaking in different languages, nothing i did in the driver software had ANY effect on the actual hardware (macros etc all stay the same unless i used "live" recording function)

when i go into my windows settings device manager it recognises it as a roccat isku fx but for some reason there is just a communication block between the driver and the actual device,

have tried all usb slot in my computer and have tried starting up computer/driver before and after plugging in the device.....

i haven't changed anything since the original period of mucking around with settings when it WAS working so i can't understand why it's not listening to the driver now.....

am on the 1.10/1.06 driver/firmware versions

any help would be appreciated as i had just finished exploring the keyboard shortcuts in some of the engineering programs i use at uni and would like to be able to set some of the extra profiles up accordingly

Those delays you speak of seem to be an issue in Win10 1607, once I disabled Windows Defender and UAC; this all went away, systems are snappy as a race car when these are disabled. They are both trash features anyways.

Get a good AV Suite and Malwarebytes paid if you need that kind of protection on your system.

no i had already tried running as admin and had made all the windows defender exceptions,

the problem was i went in to assign new macros and change a profile colour and nothing i did would take effect, not a delay a total lack of response, but if i closed and re-opened the driver the changes would keep in the sofware fine, they just werent communicating to the keyboard

i was only having those delays when i first got the keyboard 2 months ago before i found out about the windows defender slowing issue

i have since gotten it working by totally uninstalling the driver, then going into windows device settings and "removing" the device then starting all over again with a fresh install

Did you reboot after you installed your Drivers/Software?
Did you click APPLY when you made changes?

yeah was clicking apply when trying to make changes,

i always do a reboot after installations unless they have the option to "start program at end of install" and even then i usually do reboot
