    Yea hotkey you have to use the right version for the OS:

    Hotkey 6 for Windows 7 Sandy Bridge / Ivy Bridge
    Hotkey 7 for Windows 7 Sandy Bridge / Ivy Bridge / Haswell
    Hotkey 8 For Windows 8(.1) for ALL models

    too bad neither version 6 nor 7 work with my windows 7. as soon as I try to bring up the config tool, the backlight switches off and wont come back on. I'm growing a bit annoyed by this "feature".
