Using F8 from here, but there is an F8c on the gigabyte site labled Beta, which is the right choice?

Have you tried different usb ports? I had the same issue using a front usb port, and then plugged the wireless RF dongle in on of the back usb ports and it worked. I think some of the usb ports fire up after the bios so that might be the issue.

Make sure you are using the latest bios for your board which can be found here http://forums.tweaktown.com/gigabyte...beta-bios.html. Try all USB ports on the back of the motherboard. For me the only 2 ports that work to get into the bios are the 2 located directly below the ethernet port. Aslo try the front panel usb ports.

If you still can not get your keyboard to work I would contact Gigabyte directly from here GIGABYTE. Make sure to include the exact make and model of your keyboard and tell them exactly everything you tried and which bios versions you try. The more details you can give them the better chance they might be able to get your keyboard to work.

I will tell you this wireless keyboards are not that great and have a lot of issues. Your better of using a wired keyboard.

As stated above, F8, and I have tried all ports. Thing is it worked in F7. Can I reverse?

My board has 2 Ethernet ports, with two under each.

Flashing back to F7 shouldn't be a problem.
Make sure that you follow the QFlash procedure in http://forums.tweaktown.com/gigabyte...ash-guide.html and set Keep DMI Data to Disable.

Re: Wirless Keyboard Not Getting Into BIOS ? - Z77X-UDH5

Email has been sent to Gigabyte. I'll not reverse the BIOS to F7 yet. I have removed my clocking just in-case but no change so far.

Re: Wirless Keyboard Not Getting Into BIOS ? - Z77X-UDH5

I would check the version of your backup bios. If it is not F7, you could flash F7 to the backup and then it would be a simple matter to reboot to your backup (F7) bios and you'll at least get your keyboard working while you try to get the matter straightened out with Gigabyte.

Did you try either to ports under your ethernet ports? Yes you can flash back to the first bios if you wanted to. Same as flashing to a newer bios.

PJ FYI on Z77 there is no more dmi pool data option. I looked for it my self and could not find it. I did not try @bios on this board only q-flash.

Re: Wirless Keyboard Not Getting Into BIOS ? - Z77X-UDH5

Well, went back to F7 and its not much better. It gets in but screws up when trying to key around. Sigh! Yawn......... Thanks Guys. If gigabyte responds I'll post back here.

Some wireless keyboards seem to have issues. I have a Logitech EX100 kb/mouse and I've never had a single problem, knock on wood. What you need to do is notify Gigabyte so they can incorporate changes into any future BIOS. Over on OC.net a while back Sin was trying to get info on all the keyboards that didn't work so he could let GB know, but I think he's on vacation now. I would just contact them directly.

EDIT:Sorry if I missed it before, but are you using the front panel USB 3.0 ports that came with the board? If not you might try them and see if it works.
Also remember these boards have dual BIOS, you could keep your OC on one BIOS and not on the other if you wanted to.

Re: Wirless Keyboard Not Getting Into BIOS ? - Z77X-UDH5

I dont know about the other MFR's but Gigabyte has always had issues with wireless keyboards working. On X58 P67/z68 They would work in bios sometimes and/or would not work when booting holding ALT+F12 to update backup bios. This is why it is suggested to keep a old wired keyboard or even better keep a old PS/2 keyboard laying around for when this happens.

Hope they get your keyboard working for you. Dont give up keep talking with Gigabyte untill they get it working.

Yeh, I'll stay on them. The UD5H has no ps2 port. I have an old Logitech. My woes are I love the MS comfort semi-gray-semi-transparent color scheme. They are all going black and its not that pleasing to my eyes.I'll just have to keep the key (tool) board handy.

When my wireless manages to get in and I try to set Memory timings it jumps back out as soon as I cursor to the "A" channel. Ugh!

Re: Wirless Keyboard Not Getting Into BIOS ? - Z77X-UDH5

Are you sure that it is your keyboard that is the issue. The reason I ask is that I was having similar issues albeit my keyboard is wired but I eventually found that the culprit was a usb flightstick that I had plugged into one of the usb 3.0/2.0 ports in the back. As soon as I switched that device to a usb port on a pci card it all worked as expected. Also, I noticed that there are new (6/30) usb drivers posted.
