I just got my Z10 today, I love it so far. Only question I have is if I can switch my LCD screen to display standard time instead of military time. Tried messing with the Unleash software but no such luck.

not that i could find, doesnt bother me to much since thats what my work uses so im used to seeing it every day

wanted to add something to my impressions over in the sticky post but since its about the included x10 figured that wouldn't be fair, so here it goes. did anyone else get their x10 with only the top part of the packaging? that's how mine came, the slider pads on the bottom were about to fall off and when i connected it it said it needed a firmware update, which is strange since the last software/firmware was from like 2015! were these left over stock that got lost or returned to evga from some defunct store? not that it really matters since it did have everything with it and worked just fine but was just wondering? BTW it did let me register it, the serial number is printed on the bottom of the mouse.

I had one of the mice show up with the packaging destroyed in 2016. The update happens on all of them. I don’t think evga took the time to update to the latest firmware after the initial order of mice.

Has anyone gotten the screen to show anything useful - like Precision X data or information from a game? If so, is there some trick to it? Thanks.

you need the newest beta version of XOC installed, haven't found the part that will show game info yet

Once you install the beta software you need to set the precision option in Unleash. Then go into precision and click on the HW button on the top left.

Anyone know if EVGA plans on combining Z10 keyboards software with it's mouse software.

Seems like you would get software you wouldn't need that way. I mean it wouldn't be that much I guess but often gamers are going to want different brands when they are not bundled together like the launch special.

Having all your peripherals (from the same company) using the same software version, that makes it easier for people to use your product. It can help you sell more peripherals too.
 
Take a look at the top brands, you will see the software they use is combined. Corsair has it's iCUE software that allows you to control almost every product Corsair makes using the same software. Having software like that will help Corsair sell more products.

Corsair kinda hosed allot of older hardware with icue, its not supported, for example the commander pro is supported but not the older commander mini or 1st Gen stuff. That's why they are still updating link. I would like to see a evga unfied software solution but only if it can be backwards compatible to older hardware.

Like you said, Corsair still supports it's older software. I can understand iCUE being for the newer products.
 
It's 2018, if you want to be a gaming peripherals mfg, all the peripheral devices you make, they should be using the same software version day one. That is the industry standard for gaming peripherals.
 
 

word in the forum is that link is short on life left as they push everyone to icue and new hardware, link will still work but not be updated. not to happy with the latest version of link either, they finally fixed the ram led issue but took away drive temperature monitoring to stop disk polling so drives will sleep, like there isnt 20 other programs and services in windows they doesnt do that lol.

Oh, God. Please consolidate the EVGA software into one package. I'm running 3 separate EVGA programs now. 

So, I just got my Z10. It's pretty nice, but I have some gripes about the software.
Version 1.0.12 seems to take over my Logitech mouse and makes it do weird stuff. Like opens each link in a new browser window. And the mouse wheel controls Chrome's zoom mode. I downgraded to 1.0.7 and the mouse is working.
 
Another problem I have is the Unleash program doesn't use the windows scaling. I use a 55" 4k TV for a monitor and it is tiny AF.
 
Still trying to figure out the Precision settings to go with it. I don't see where you can have it show the FPS in a game.

Lol I have 4 I use, 5 if I count the flow control but since I don't use it I will remove that one.

We can always dream guys.
One day maybe.

What version of logitech software are you running. That would probably help evga software team.

I don't like because EVGA didn't used Cherry MX.
Same is with Logitech. Logitech as my favorite company for mouse designed so nice mechanical keyboards as
G413 and G610, 613, PRO, almost all are nice, but they not use Cherry MX and only one of their keyboard use but Cherry MX Red only.
I decide to stick with something "old school"... WASD, Deck, Filco but huge fan of Logitech design, special G413 aluminium.
 
 

Cherry MX does make some of the best mechanical switches. The Cherry MX Red RGB switches on my Corsair K70 RGB are nice.
Anyone that's into mechanical back lit keyboards could of told evga, that it's keyboard needs RGB back lighting, if they want the best chance for the product to end up in people checkout basket.
I predict will see a $20-50 price drop within 2-6months.
 
Would you take a membrane keyboard over Logitech Romer-G switch or Kailh switches?

what version of precision are you using? you need 6.2.6 for it to work with the Z10, then click the HWM button and it will come up, you should then see a red GPU and blue system buttons at the top. they some times are hidden but that is where you select FPS and other things.
