    Works for me on a Z77 Sabertooth, you have to time it right after the RAID screen.

    Ya, there's a knack to it. I was very confused initially. Also, if you kill your computer at the wall for 10 seconds and start up, it might work first time for you (it takes longer to go through POST process).

    Don't hit NUMLOCK until it lights up, then tap it and quickly tap DEL.

    I never realised how much I use the arrow keys until I got this keyboard!

    What connection are you using?
    I have a CM Quick Fire Rapid and never had any issues.

    How are you connected, usb or ps/2?
