This keyboard is beautiful. Its stylish and very ergonomic. They almost made it perfect if they had of made it with mechanical keys for hardcore gamers. However this was not an over sight for them....

Sorry I can't be of any help but thought id mention my akasa 6channel fan controller is also playing up..
When I have 2 fans running its fine no problem but as soon as I crank up a third fan the lights flicker and they all slow down.. when I have 6 running the power to each fan has to be minimal other wise they don't work correctly?
Strange?

Yea, I have Coolermaster Xtraflo, which do 2000rpm, and right now, I can count the blades at full speed. Is it a psu problem?

Fixed the problem. I used the extension that used to come with the FC4. Now I directly connect it straight from my psu and it works!
