Razer Blackwidow Ultimate 2013: Spilled water on my keyboard and I need help!

Fri, 29 Jun 2018 22:02:43 -0700

I was eating soup near my keyboard and it split just a small amount, roughly the amount of water that a water bottle cap can hold. All of the sudden the computer can't register the keystrokes. I restarted my computer and I cleaned the water out of my keyboard by taking out the space key and it works fine, I tried to but back my space key back in, it was really hard and all of the sudden my keyboard spam random keys. I unplugged the power and tried to take off the back to no avail, put the screws back in and the power, but nothing works. The lights worked before I took unplugged the power and it no longer works. Essentially it broke. This keyboard is really special to me as it was a gift and I really hope that there is someway to fix this mess. Please help...

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 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 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 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 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

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 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 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
