Recently got the KM780 RGB keyboard, fantastic hardware, software is not the most intuitive but usable.
Everything seems to be working fine, except one minor issue: the keyboard app does not survive a computer sleep. When the computer wakes up from a sleep, the app is shutdown and gone from the task list. Consequence? if a macro is to launch an windows application then it will not work anymore. My workaround is to use a 3rd party application AutoHotKey. And program each macro key to emit a special sequence of keys (e.g., WIN+ALT+CTRL+SHIFT+letter), then define a hot key in AutoHotKey to intercept that key sequence and perform whatever action. Not the most convenient way but it works, and I actually feel this may be a better way as AutoHotKey is quite powerful compared to G.SKILL built-in macro key definition tool.
I am running the latest software. The issue happens on two system: desktop (ASRock Extreme7+, Windows Server 2012 R2) and laptop (Microsoft Surface Pro 3, Windows 10 Pro).
