Does anyone else have issues with this board when using in a dual boot set up? It does not work until the OS boots up. Cannot enter bios and cannot select the OS I want from my grub menu. Have no problems like this with any other USB keyboard on my machine just the Varmilos.

jjuelYou might have to set legacy USB options in your BIOS.

ClifakI had hoped that was the case, but unfortunately I do already have legacy USB options enabled in my BIOS.

jjuelHey jjuel,
Are you still having this issue? Are you certain it's the keyboard? I'd like to order this, but if I can't use it for dual boot it's pretty much a nonstarter.
Thanks!

dddlarsYes I am still having this issue. After doing some research it could be due to the keyboard having NKRO enabled with no way to shut it off. It is very annoying, but dang the keyboard is nice.

jjuelDoes this affect only the VA87M version? Or also the VA87MR? Also I read that the VA87M version isn't fully MAC compatible. Some said it doesn't work in the pre-boot environment (UEFI).
I want to find out if the VA87MR version works with my PC before booting into windows. I have an UEFI system and in the case that something goes wrong with the disk encryption, the keyboard must work in UEFI-type environment to enter the 48 digit unlock code.
