Huntsman Elite vs. Synapse 3 (always the newest "stable")

Hi,

First of all, this issue is known by support, the keyboard replaced with a new one by them, but the issue still remains, not hardware issue.
Please help me to test it.

I have Huntsman Elite, I'm using Synapse 3. When I'm pushing a button that has led indicator (CAPS LOCK, SCROLL LOCK, NUM LOCK, etc) for a while (10 seconds or more), the led lights remains in the "last" state, Synapse 3 "freezing", other led visual effects are not working as intended, and nothing works, which driven by Synapse 3, for example, sleep after x minutes or idle.
Why I push a button so long? Because this is "push to talk button" in the voice chat software, but all goes wrong when I push only the buttons for a long time, without a voice program.
After I kill Synapse 3 and keep pushing this button, the led indicator is working normally. Only freezing when Synapse 3 is working. In this case, the Synapse 3 not recognize Huntsman Elite + wrist rest and not shows the led visual effects in Studio.

I need to replug the cable to the USB to get normal work. My bet, this is Synapse 3 software error.


Please test it for me.
Please push caps lock 3-4x 10-15 seconds in Windows 10. What's happening after? Synapse 3 first slow down? Led reaction time is slower and slower and finally freezing? Or everything works fine, doesn't matter, how keep pushing the caps lock button?

Thanks for helping...

Hi,

Thank you for reply. Great news, your team is on it, but I don't know why replace my keyboard...
I'm going to start a private thread for you with answers.

Thanks for the follow-up. The Support Team wants your Razer Huntsman Elite to undergo a replacement as they wanted to test the keyboard as part of Razer's investigation. Anyhow, I'll check your PM.

Ok, I see. Ty.
We have a workaround to avoid this issue or a solution to "unfreeze"? If yes, tell me, please!
I found the replug USB only, and that's pain for me.

You're welcome. There's no workaround yet. I'll update this thread once I got an update from the devs/Support Team.
