So its supposed to be keyboard reactive but im not getting no effects at all upon clicking my keys could it possibly be my keyboard?

Same issue here. Logitech G815. Not sure when it started, but it had been working a couple months ago. No conflicts or issues with my devices otherwise.

I have same issue on with Corsair K70 Pro. Everything works fine other than the keyboard reactive elements.  
Have even gone as far as playing with the effect source code and putting console output onto the onCanvasTapped(), still nothing.

Here is a silly workaround - in Macros create a macro with “key pressed” as the trigger and set your hotkey to something you won’t typically use with an output action of nothing. I’m guessing something isn’t being intialized right? My reactive keypresses started working imediately after creating this macro. I guess you could make a legitimate macro too with a keypress. I tried some other macro types which did not work to actvate reactive keypress.

We have identified the issue with the keypress and is being worked on
