I'm not saying it's fixed but so far so good, will keep an eye open and see if the issue raise's it's head at somepoint.

*no issues today after an hour or two of D2/Borderlands.


Definitely still an issue for me. I deeply regret this purchase.
Like many others, I'm just tired of putting up with the problem. I took the keyboard to the warranty department of the store where I purchase it, now I'm just humbly waiting for a decision. If will no return, I will sell this piece of misunderstanding.
This keyboard was complete garabage and I'll NEVER buy another Razer keyboard. The lack of even acknowledging the issue, let alone saying "hey, we're working on it" is beyond infuriating for a $250 product.

I had returned a roccat mouse and keyboard and bought the razer for a total of -$29. Because it's a refunded situation, it doesn't look like i can dispute anything. Best Buy's return window was 2 weeks. I THOUGHT I had noticed it a couple of times in that two week window or didn't think much of it. Maybe I wasn't gaming much during that period?

Anyways the frequency of the sticky keys became much more apparent rather quickly.

I contacted Razer Support via Twitter, they were unaware of the sticky keys issue, and then I was eventually ignored after providing a video of the issue that I telling them it wasn't my video, but same issue. The sticky keys happened often, but was near impossible to game and film at the same time.

Of course closing Synapse fixes the sticky keys, but I could have accomplished the lack of features with a random $80 mechanical keyboard. You NEED Synapse to take advantage of ANYTHING advertised with this keyboard. It's a software issue!!!

Anyways, I picked up a Corsair K100 and it's been great.

I can't sell it off, because it's defective. A return would be forced on me by ebay. And I can't in good faith attempt to trick someone into buying it.

Hopefully someone at Razer see's these and finally does something about it. But I'm extremely disappointed.
Another razer synapse update today, anyone that still have the keyboard can reply to tell if they did fix it or not?
I might pull mine out of the closet tonight and see.

For all Insiders, who are having issues with HM V2 Analog

Test your Huntsman V2 and Synapse on a different Windows 10 PC.
A device that is fresh built, with no Virus or Malwares and has the latest Windows 10 updates and dotnet framework

A friend of mine who had similar issue with HM V2, a fresh installation of Windows 10 and Synapse has resolved his issue on the keyboard.

Which confirm that his original Windows 10 OS source files was damaged (via Virus / attack); poor keyboard interactivity due to poor interface between OS and Synapse.

Also test the keyboard by connecting to its individual USB port, not a multi USB hub adapter

Sure just build a brand new computer to test a keyboard.

I did mention, "different Windows 10 PC"

Please constrain from using short Intentional Misspellings. "wtf"
As per RAZER house rules~~
Then followed it up with "fresh built".
Userlevel 7
I did not say "build a pc".
After confirming a test on a different PC (used or fresh), then we can see where to go from there.
Windows update had an HID device driver for Razer today as well. Going through Device Manager and looking at Driver dates for my Razer products. It doesn't look like anything was actually updated tho.
V2 Analog keeb in particular still shows driver date of 3/30/2021.

Of note, the phantom/stuck keys seems even worse than last time I tried this keyboard. DEFINITELY NOT FIXED.
Will toss it back in the closet because this shit is useless.

Also, to add, when I bought this keyboard I had a AMD Ryzen 9 3950X and a Gigabyte X570 Auros Master. I have since swapped to a 5950x and Asus Crosshair VIII Dark Hero. So no, a "fresh" built pc does not fix the issue.
Because... IT'S SYNAPSE!!!
Well, been many months and they dont show minimun interest into this.

I will never recommend any razer products to anyone that i know.
So I picked this up in another thread here that again Razer ignores. I forgot who suggested it, but someone suggested static color or off seemed to be working for them.
Anyways, I WAS using the Wave RGB effect.
I've had static color set to white for a couple days now and haven't noticed any stuck keys while playing New World

Can some one else confirm if static color led or no led fixes their phantom keys?

Razer - This may be what to look into fixing within Synapse. You can send us a partial refund for QAing your products and software.

Edit: Got my first phantom key about 3 minutes after posting this. This wasn't the fix. But it does seem to have greatly reduced the frequency of the issue.

You have mentioned on this post, your pc uses AMD architecture.

In the following thread~~~
/huntsman-mini-broke-my-windows.65606/page-18

We see many Insiders having issues with Huntsman Mini, those their PC utilize AMD system.

I was able to test my HM Elite on an AMD (FM2) socket architecture, it crashed my Windows 10 system, but when running on an Intel system, it works fine. My friend runs on Intel i7-7700K, which show no issues when using HM V2 Analog.

I spoke to one of the ELITES who confirms an issue with AMD architecture against RAZER peripherals.

Something which the AMD developers must look into upgrading their BIOS configuration. I do recall, my AMD PC ran fine with RAZER products before upgrading to Windows 10.

I'm no CPU / motherboard expert.

Somethings I know is, Intel and AMD sure are in serious competition regarding clock speed, number of cores and threads; but what many people don't take to an account is, how the data processing protocol within its architecture work.

The reason why I chose Intel over AMD, is its architecture support wider applications and hardware. The more resource it supports, the more flexibility it delivers in terms of how the data gets processed.

Lesson I have learnt on my first and last AMD architect PC.

The protocol of how the data processing works~~~~ ?????
Intel and AMD secret~~~

I suspect this is why some Insiders and many RAZER users are having issues when using RAZER peripherals on AMD.
windows 10 pro, 10700k, z490 aorus master and i have phantom/spamming keys. Also i have a problem with not working gaming mode after profile swapping. So i think this's not only AMD users problem. i had phantom/spamming keys problem on 2 razer v2 analog(only in games) and on the razer hunstman elite(everywhere). i choosed to try third keyboard after i rma my last rv2 analog and if i'll get same results i gonna use my old 7 years keyboard.
just sad.
I have already bought a fourth keyboard, the first was Huntsman Elite, the next 3 is a v2 analog. the last keyboard lost a defect - when switching profiles without using the internal memory, the keyboard began to work with delays of about half a minute after each profile switching.
phantom keys, not a working game mode (the Windows button is not blocked after changing profiles), all this is present on the new keyboard. this is complete rubbish that is not worth the money 4 out of 4 keyboards and they are all defective. I believed until the last that I could get a fully working keyboard, but apparently not destiny. do not buy this rubbish and do not waste your time on it.
Keep in touch, the store where i bought this keyboard sent its to the service center and from there it was returned with "no defective was found". Now all I have to do is sell this slag.

P.s. I have system based on i7-7700 and board gigabyte ga-z270xp-sli

I already use a static colour, red and as you’ve found still experience this issue. Although for me it’s very rare, maybe once in several hours of gaming. An additional press of the button for whichever direction it is that’s ghosting clears it.

As it’s so intermittent and so far in between I’ve never been able to properly test with and without Synapse.

and whilst I think of it. I see Razer have released a new version of this keyboard the Huntsman V2 with Gen2 optical keys, 8000Hz polling, no USB pass through and no edge RGB. I wonder if this new version experiences any issues with the keys ghosting?
Huntsman mini with analog switches would be great

I am looking at this thread and I see tons of posts with unhappy people regarding the "sticky keys" issue. Yet when I posted a potential fix and asked you all to test it, there is no answer, for more than 7 days in a row.

I dont have the keyboard anymore, but as i said its a problem related to synapse 3.
hi, razer support told me that
Version: 3.6.1010.101113
Version: 3.6.1010.101113


  • Synapse Bug Fixes

    • Fix key stuck issue for analog function for Razer Huntsman V2 Analog and Razer Tartarus Pro Series


But i still have a problem with a game mode after switching profiles (not blocking windows key after profile swapping with enabled game mode)
Yea, I'm not intentionally installing a random exe and registry flags to turn on a keylogger - officially from Razer or not.

That said, Synapse 3.6.1010.101113 is seeming fairly promising.
