    It only happens on my Qpad MK80 PS mechanical Keyboard, my other USB keyboard is fine.
    It does not click when I hold the FN key on the Qpad

    I have disabled Windows Sounds and I have tried different speakers and headphones.
    I have disabled all mics.
    I have turned off filter, sticky, and toggle keys.
    When I lower the volume the ticking noise gets lower.
    It happens in games and in Windows

    This has only happened after I installed Windows 8
    Here is a video, you'll hear the initial click and then the ticking

    Any help would be appreciated

    Thanks

    Hmm. Definitely to do with the mechanical-nature of the KB.

    Is the board connected directly via PS/2 or is it using a PS/2-to-USB adapter?

    PS/2 connection, the driver for the keyboard is the 'Standard PS/2 Keyboard'

    I enabled the on-board audio and that didnt give a ticking noise so I updated to the Beta Driver for the Creative X-fi sound card.
    No more ticking
