    Hey everyone,

    Whenever I turn off my M17x and turn it back on, only half of the keyboard will light up. After about 3 minutes the lights will switch back on and stay on. Was wondering if anyone had a similar issue or what may be causing this.

    Thanks

    Pull all power (ac, battery, etc) and hold power button for 10 seconds.

    Should clear it up...

    Hi averagejo3,
    Just switch the theme on your keyboard and everything should resolve. There are a few bugs with Command Center that have yet to be worked out.

    Thanks,
    Gabe
