I recently started having trouble with important keys like ESC that would stop working a few minutes into a mission. The odd thing was that they would work as expected initially, but then after a while they would cause the program to lock up and eventually crash back to the desktop.
It took a lot to track it down but it turns out that it was not a bad keyboard, but simple interference from the PrecisionX 16 OSD server software. I was not using the on screen display function at all, so I didn't even think about it possibly being the cause for a long time, but it still was causing trouble in the background whenever the process was running.
The main EVGA PrecisionX 16 software that I use for custom fan speed control by itself was fine, but the OSD software would always run concurrently and you couldn't kill the OSD process without it immediately restarting itself as long as the main program was running. Killing PrecisioX 16 entirely solved the keyboard problem, but set the fan control back to the defaults.
Eventually I discovered that the OSD software has an exclusion list, and adding cfs3.exe to that list was the solution. The process is still running along with the main program, but it now stays out of the way, and I still get the benefit of advanced fan control.
