    Well the deal is that only FN+brightness down doesn't work right everything else works perfect. When I press FN+brightness down it reduces brightness by 1 and then jams for a minute. Also when it is jammes then none of the hotkeys work, also interesting is that when I press FN keys when they are jammes they take affect when they are unjammed, like it would lagg. Have tried this with 2 versions of Windows 8 and like 3 latest ATK packages. I doubt that it is my fault and when are there gone be a real ATK Package driver for W8?

    Just to clarify - when you say "jammed", you don't mean the keys on the keyboard are physically sticking or anything like that, right? Just the OSD adjustment hangs?

    No confirmation on ATK package driver that I'm aware of just yet. Microsoft is pushing out W8 updates pretty zealously though, so you may find an update in the near future (maybe not until a Service Pack).

    Lol that's kind of you. No worries! In the meantime, while you wait for a hotfix, you're always welcome to play with the driver. Maybe a clean install of it will fix it. It may not even be a driver issue at all, but it's worth a go.
