We need a demo video of the new switches PRONTO!

But yeah, it it really is silent, that sound like a nice upgrade TBH, though you should consider cutting us early adopters a little upgrade discount because we didn't have a choice back then lol... brows.gif

Any updates on pricing for existing users to change to the brown switches?

Do early supporters of the Onyx get a discount? tongue.gif

Hi guys, yea we appreciate our early supporters and will definitely offer discounts for the brown switch upgrade kit.

If you like the cap 2 design but don't feel like to spend a lot of money to upgrade the entire brown switch keyboard, we also offer the keycap kit only.

Do send an email to support@illegear.com with your serial number for enquiries smile.gif

Yeah I'd say diminishing returns, but it's pretty much the rule once you get past a certain point in anything anyway lol.

As for temps, I've actually never seen my CPU go past 95c even at full stress test temps and with Turbo engaged, for some unknown reason even without the cooler.

Maybe it's just the types of games I play, not sure though.

Prince J That cap switch offer sounds pretty nice TBH. But I'll probably reserve judgement until the brown switch demo unit is out and available for testing.

The brown is very silent, but personally i prefer blue switch when comes to overall typing experience.

True that. And hey in actual use the fans noise is not even that bad unless you're pushing the unit hard.

The massively audible KBB click of the blue switches however, is something worth thinking about (vs the more silent browns).

The blue switch + Cap 2 would be my choice of mechanical keyboard combination. smile.gif

Does the sound lessen with Cap 2 vs Cap 1?

Also as jrlogger has mentioned before, does switching to Cap 2 lessen the "ghost typing" (registered inputs with a light touch) that sometimes happens with the original combo - or do I need the brown switches also for that?
*
I haven't tested that myself. But imo the CAP 2 is easier to type compared to CAP 1.

We do have customer who paid for brown switch and requested us to remain his CAP 1 because of personal preference.

Thx bro for the info. Seems battery life isnt that good but understandable since it focus on performance. 4 hours light surfing maybe translate to less than 2 hours video/gaming. By the way I noticed this battery pack which is to replace the hard disk drive. Do you know how much battery time it can provide and how much it will increase the overall weight?
*
Hi trlnlty,

The weight is slightly reduced if you replaced the HDD to big battery.

The new battery life with big battery is about 4 to 6 hours depend on usage.

Question: Why Choose Onyx Then Raven?

Just curious want to know...
*
It's slimmer, lighter, smaller and have a better build (casing, mechanical keyboard). Raven is more budget oriented gaming laptop.

Hey guys. My friend's ONYX currently has an inactive keyboard. The backlight doesn't appear when it boots up, and the keys don't respond in any way, shape or form. I've tried uninstalling the driver, but no luck. Any ideas?

Hi Cranky,

This is weird. Can we have the system to check physically?

If say my Onyx (i7 1050Ti 8gb ram) suddenly shutdown unexpectedly with battery % around 60% ish i guess and goes directly to 0% (wouldnt power on unless i plug in charger & after switch on back battery shows 1% charging) , what could be the problem? bios ? or battery or something else? i was running adobe software though but nothing heavy rendering occur, just simple copy paste stuff. Please enlighten me on this

Hi lim,

Can you send me your serial number and invoicing name? It's our first time hearing such issue, and it's very weird. Will arrange a time for you to send in for a check.

We will definitely help on the issue and if the issue is indeed caused by the machine, we will reimburse you the parking fee for this time.

does the new onyx has this kind of issues anymore? screen bleeding, bios problem, ssd problem?

Hi xchew,

We did have BIOS compatibility issue with SSD for the first batch of ONYX back in April 2018 but it has been resolved with a new BIOS update. Hope clarify.

will the rush service affect the overall performance?  hmmm

No it won't, the tests for rush order and non-rush order are the same.

Oh ok. Thanks a lot. I will try it first.

Btw do I need to underclocking the CPU as well? I don't think it needa a full power of CPU to give the best gaming performance.

QUOTE(wookp @ Feb 24 2019, 10:50 PM)
Btw, it does have TG applied. Hence i was wondering if these temps are normal. Haven't tried undervolting both CPU or GPU before though. Any guidelines?

Hi azwn and wookp,

Can i have your EC and BIOS version? Press F2 to access to BIOS and screenshot to me.

BTW, mine has BT connection issues with my xbox controller. When i am using the controller leaning back in my chair with the controller on my lap, it disconnects. It's better when i have the controller situated right in front of the laptop though. Anyone has this similar issue?

Hi wookp,

Can we check your laptop with your xbox controller? Is your laptop working with other Bluetooth devices?
