Cyborg V7 Keyboard Installation Not Working

Hello, for Christmas I got a Cyborg V7 keyboard, and when I plug it into my laptop (7 64bit), it tries to install the drivers and I see "Saitek cyborg keyboard FAILED". I don't know what to do. I tried downloading the drivers "Saitek_Cyborg_Keyboard_SD6_64_Drivers_pfw.exe", but when I launch it, it doesn't detect the keyboard. It gets stuck on "Installing driver: connect the controller to update."
And now I don't know what to do.
Thanks in advance.

    Moi je peux t'aider, alors tu télécharges bien les drivers 64 bits Windows 7 et tu suis ça (fais pas attention à la formulation, c'est de la traduction anglais à français), j'ai eu le même problème que toi mais t'as pas fouillé bien loin, moi j'ai trouvé tout de suite.

    Marche à suivre :
    ENFIN ! Voilà la solution ! Le texte suivant est anglais et je l'ai traduit du mieux que je pouvais.

    Avec le clavier branché (et ne répond pas), allez au Panneau de configuration > Système > Gestionnaire de périphériques. Vous devriez voir deux entrées pour le clavier accompagnées de points d'exclamation dans la section Interface Homme. Faites un clic droit sur l'une des entrées et sélectionnez le pilote à jour, puis sélectionnez Parcourir mon ordinateur pour le logiciel pilote. Sélectionnez "Me laisser choisir parmi une liste ..." Dans la liste vous sont présentées, sélectionnez Interface Device USB-humaines ou périphérique HID et cliquez sur suivant. Répétez l'opération pour l'autre entrée et l'ordinateur devrait maintenant voir votre clavier comme une base de clavier USB. Cela vous permettra de réinstaller le pilote Saitek pour le conseil.

    DERIEN D'AVANCE !

      How do we do it for PCs running Windows 8?

    Hello,
    for those interested, I just spent an hour on this after the Windows 8 update.
    So, I have 7 devices in the manager for my Cyborg V7 keyboard, with 5 in "Human Interface Devices" and 2 in "Keyboards".
    Actually, I first installed each of these devices with the most basic driver possible, just the USB thing, the first choice in manual installation. Then, once everything was recognized, I reinstalled everything with the SaiK0728.inf located in C:\Windows\Temp\Saitek\Saitek_Cyborg_Keyboard_SD6_64_Drivers\00000011\0728, which is created with the driver from the website, you know, the driver that doesn't work.
    Hoping to have helped some of you.

      Hey, hi everyone,

      A few clarifications:
      In "User Interfaces" we have user choices,
      we need: 2 from "USB Input" to "Saitek Cyborg Keyboard (USB)"
      then there's one that can be updated from "very long thing (HID)" to "... Hot Keys (HID)"
      and finally the other two have a choice "thing shorter than the one above (HID)" to "Gaming Keys (HID)"

      Thanks a lot Olletroll, I already had a hard time with my RAT 9, I would have freaked out if it was worse with my keyboard =D

        Hello, just to clarify, we can indeed connect and use a Mad Catz keyboard on a laptop that already has a built-in keyboard? Thank you in advance.

    Hello.
    I found this beautiful keyboard at a flea market, and for 3€ (after negotiating... I saved 1€!!! lol) I brought it home. Once I got home, however, it didn't work. Driver problem... while searching, I finally found the solution.

    First, you need to download the driver:
    http://www.madcatz.com/downloads/
    the product to select is Mad Catz V7 Keyboard.
    You need an extraction software like 7zip for example.
    Once the driver is downloaded (a file named "V7_Keyboard_SD7_0_23_0_x64_Drivers"), you actually need to unzip it. So right-click on this file > 7zip > Extract to "V7_Keyboard_SD7_0_23_0_x64_Drivers". You now have a folder named "V7_Keyboard_SD7_0_23_0_x64_Drivers".

    Plug in your keyboard. The drivers... do not install (you get that famous message "failed")
    Then, right-click on Computer > Manage > Device Manager (you can also reach it through Control Panel).
    You have two exclamation marks for your keyboard. Right-click on the 1st one > update driver > search for a driver on my computer > choose from a list... > choose the model containing the name Saitek.
    Do the same manipulation with the other exclamation mark.

    Now your devices are at the top of Device Manager.
    Right-click on the 1st one > update driver > search for a driver on my computer > search for drivers at this location: browse: select the unzipped folder from the very beginning: "V7_Keyboard_SD7_0_23_0_x64_Drivers" > next, Windows installs the drivers, and now it works!!!
    Do the same with the second one,

    And there you go, your keyboard works...

      I did what you told me, but I get an error message saying that a necessary entry is missing in the installation file for this device's driver. The INF file may have been written for Windows 95 or a later version.

    I had the same problem.
    I went to the madcatz website and downloaded the "DRIVER DOWNLOAD" and the "SOFTWARE DOWNLOAD"
    Everything works very well now.
