    I am unable to access the bios. I currently have installed the bios version 213. I found misleading information some say I need to press DEL, some say ESC and the official wiki says F2.

    But nothing really works, I spammed all keys, I tried to just hold the key, I tried to press those keys only when the asus logo appears. Nothing worked. Maybe my Laptop boots to fast to get into the bios? it usually boots in 4-6 seconds after pressing the power button.

    What is the correct key to access the bios?

    Once you press the start button start pressing the f2 button several/many times. It will go into BIOS. Trust me.

    But the keyboard works fine once you've booted to Windows? And were you able to access the BIOS easily before the flash?

    You can also try hitting the Pause/Break key at POST when the logo first appears. This will halt the screen and give you a chance to look at the key legend (assuming there is one).

    And yes: F2 is the correct key.

    Boot into windows then click reset and press esc or f2 should let you access the bios.
