Razer BlackWidow Chroma: Slow, delayed key response?

Wed, 09 Aug 2023 22:14:57 -0700

I’ve had my Blackwidow Chroma for a year or two, but only recently I noticed that, in games, the A key isn’t responding to presses in time. It can vary, from about a half-second delay on press, to a full 4 seconds, but it’s definitely there. Does anyone else have issues with this? Is this a common problem with other keyboards? How do I change out the switch if it’s compromised?

Razer BlackWidow Chroma: Most of my keys work except 4, r , and f which set off other keys.

Wed, 11 Sep 2019 12:45:55 -0700

i accidentally spilled a tiny bit of water on the keyboard and they flipped it upside down and let it dry for multiple days to weeks. When it turns on everything is good except that when i press 4, r, and f as described sets off a bunch of other keys even though i never pressed them. And it keeps spamming those keys until i unplug or press the button its spamming or another button that’s no broken.

Any suggestion on how to fix it?

Razer BlackWidow Chroma: How do I fix water damage making the left arrow key always "engaged"?

Thu, 27 May 2021 09:21:17 -0700

So last night my girlfriend spilt a cup of tea (not a whole cup but a little bit left in the mug) onto my keyboard. The headset was also plugged into the keyboard usb port at the time. I took the keys off and dried the keyboard where I could see the tea. Of course it was all unplugged whilst i was working on it. I then reassembled the keyboard and plugged it in to see the extent of the damage and all seemed to be working correctly. Then i noticed due to my RGB setup that the left arrow key was always flashing as if it was being spam pressed. I went on a youtube video to test it and the video was rewinding constantly as if the left arrow was being pressed. How do i fix this? ive seen threads of keys not working but not one on a key always working when its not meant to. I would also like to add that now my headset is not being recognized by any usb ports. Could that be a direct effect of it being plugged into the keyboard when tea was spilled on it?

Razer BlackWidow Chroma: Razer keyboard lighting randomly changes and some rows turn off

Mon, 17 Apr 2023 09:14:21 -0700

I have the Razer Black Widow V3 mini Hyperspeed, I got the keyboard yesterday and the lights keep being weird, sometimes they'll randomly change to RGB, sometimes the top row will go out, normally I have them as a still white yet when wireless i can still type and use the keyboard, but the lighting is acting weird.

Razer BlackWidow Chroma: single key not working but switch appears to work fine?

Mon, 18 Oct 2021 12:23:16 -0700

ok so my C key isn’t working.
I’ve checked and when depressed it reads 0 resistance, when up it shows as open circuit.

it looks like one of the pads may be not connected correctly or have a short to somewhere.

if I connect the pad to another pad in the same position relative to the key it will respond but then types X not C!

Razer BlackWidow Chroma: Keyboard Not Working , Lights Not Lighting Up, But Wires Work.

Tue, 27 Apr 2021 11:34:04 -0700

This question is not about ‘Razer BlackWisow Chroma’, but instead ‘Corsair K70 Vengence’. I couldn’t use that as the chosen device, however.

The cable to my keyboard had a bad connection, so I soldered it up. I tested the continuity of every pin and cable, and it’s fine. However, the keyboard won’t work — keyboard doesn’t register and LEDs don’t light up. The passthrough USB, however, works fine; I can plug a normal mouse into it and move it around on the computer as if it had been plugged into the computer normally.

And ideas as to what could be the issue?

Razer BlackWidow Chroma: Razer Ornata Chroma letter ''n'' not working

Mon, 27 Apr 2020 08:18:00 -0700

The letter n on my keyboard does not want to work. The uppercase ‘‘N’’ works but not the lowercase. For this text, i had to coy and paste the letter ‘‘n’’. This is a keyboard that plugs into my desktop pc. If i press CapsLock and the shift and the letter ‘‘n’’ it works as lowercase. But otherwise, my letter n just doesn’t work. Can anybody help me?

Razer BlackWidow Chroma: Is the key switch broken or is it something else?

Sat, 26 Oct 2019 05:47:57 -0700

The key is unresponsive but also when bridging the pins, the key doesnt respond.

If i bridge one of the pins with another keys pin then the input works.

Any idea how I could diagnose this issue further or does anyone know what this might be?
