Razer Chroma fails to work on one key

Hi all, my first post here. Recently I've noticed that the hash [#] key on the built in keyboard fails to light up with any effect through Chroma. I have a 2019 Blade 15 (RZ09-0288x) so I'm aware the secondary functions don't light up, but this is different. I have a Blackwidow Elite keyboard too and all keys work fine there. In the Chroma software the key remains black no matter what effect I apply (see screenshot).
Anyone else noticed this after a recent Synapse update possibly?
Thanks

Yes - I've noticed exactly the same problem following the software update. It's a UK keyboard layout.

Thanks for the update! I've replied to your PM.
The latest Synapse update (3.6.430.42101) seems to have fixed it. I now have a lit up # key again. Thanks!
