Razer Huntsman Elite Gaming Keyboard: Broke something off the PCB

Mon, 14 Apr 2025 14:02:02 -0700

Hello!

I was trying to clean the PCB and broke a small white bit off of the S key and now it won't work.

I also lost that small white bit.

Is it something that can be fixed with soldering?

Example of the white bit that broke off in blue and where it broke off in red.

Razer Keyboard: No rgb working - blackwidow v3 hyperspeed phantom edition

Fri, 15 Nov 2024 18:57:27 -0700

here is the story, I haven't done anything wrong like spilling water on it or stuff like that but the "ALL" rgb has died on the keyboard the thing is if I wait about an hour if my keyboard is unplugged but on (it goes power saving mode) all the rgb will flash white for less then a second when the keyboard wakes up (I touch a key) so I don't know if its a problem with a controller somewhere or if one key has died and that made the whole thing go haywire because all the keys and functions of eveything work fine.
I have tried everything from hard resting it to letting it fully die and starting it to spamming fn and u to turn brightness up and using a different computer from being wireless and plugged in, if anyone has an idea or if my thing is just dead an answer would be nice

Razer Keyboard: Razer TarTarus Pro Game Controller HELP!

Sun, 28 Jul 2024 13:28:14 -0700

So I am not sure if others have run into this or not, but I have purchased like 5 of the Tartarus line of keypads that allow for easier gameplay for me. However, on all of these devices, the cable seems to break or is very sensitive to connection to the computer so after like 6 months or so it will start disconnecting/reconnecting rapidly. the only solution I have so far found is to replace the cable and it goes away, or I buy a new one. I am at the point now where I would rather not keep buying into their products esp when they do not even remotely support right to repair.. I tried to ask them nicely if I could get a couple of the cables so I didn't have to keep buying new ones and they flat out said NO we don't sell those parts. Wasnt shocked but I was frustrated. So if anyone out there has a connection to their manufacturing or a way to get some of those cables, please let me know I could really use about 5. I am not asking for them for free LOL!

The other reason I use their product is because back in 2015 I broke my arm and I am not unable to rotate my wrist in a comfortable way to be able to use a regular keyboard. so I use the TarTarus line of devices to help me play video games.

Also IFix it if you have a way to repair them PLEASE let me know:)

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 Keyboard: Razer Turret keyboard not turning on

I don’t see the razer turret keyboard on the repair list and I’m just curious if it’s something y’all would accept to repair. I’ve tried resetting it, letting it die and recharge it, now it doesn’t seem to charge or turn on at all.

Razer Keyboard: Is there a way to fix this connector?

Tue, 01 Feb 2022 08:56:01 -0700

My Razer Cynosa’s spacebar isn’t working. After a lot of trying out I finally found this connector directly conencted to the spacbar on the board. It seems that it is just not connected and therefore there can’t be any input from my spacebar. Now the question obviously is, if there is a way to fix this by myself. Thanks!

Razer Blackwidow Ultimate 2013: Water damaged Razer blackwidow Ultimate 2016 down aroow

Sun, 24 Oct 2021 20:55:26 -0700

So a few months ago I spilled some soda on my keyboard. I have contacted razer support team and they said your warranty doesn't cover water damage so I took my keyboard apart and dried it with paper towels then let dry in front of a fan for 2 days and all my keys besides the down arrow key.

I tested my switches with a multi-meter and the switch it self seems fine its sending power but it's not sending input to the computer though so I would like to figure out what I can do to fix my down arrow key

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: 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: 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 Tournament Edition Chroma: Why does Razer blackwidow chroma TE miss keystrokes randomly?

Sat, 22 Feb 2020 18:06:18 -0700

My keyboard randomly misses keystrokes on different keys. Sometimes it is the ‘m’ key, other times it is the number 5 or the letter ‘s’ or spacebar at random.

The down arrow key is the worst with almost 30% hits not registered. Is it a problem with those respective switches OR is the keyboard logic board / electronic circuitry gone bad
