Huntsman V3 HE Magnetic TKL freezes after latest firmware – requires USB reconnect

I am experiencing what appears to be the same issue reported by other Huntsman V3 HE users after the latest firmware update.

Keyboard: Razer Huntsman V3 HE Magnetic Tenkeyless 8KHz
Model: RZ03-0592
Firmware: 1.02.0_r1

Since installing the latest firmware, the keyboard randomly becomes completely unresponsive during gaming. All key input stops registering, but the keyboard remains powered and the RGB lighting stays active.

The only way to recover it is to physically unplug the keyboard from USB and reconnect it.

I have reproduced the issue in multiple games, including Call of Duty and Kingdom Come: Deliverance II, so it does not appear to be game-specific.

The keyboard was stable before this firmware update. I was previously using 4000 Hz polling and have also tested at 1000 Hz while troubleshooting.

Other users appear to be reporting a very similar failure pattern after the same firmware update, so this may be a firmware regression rather than an isolated hardware or USB issue.

Could Razer please escalate this to the firmware/software team and confirm:

  • whether this is a known issue with firmware 1.02.0_r1
  • whether a hotfix is being investigated
  • whether an official rollback to the previous firmware is available

I am happy to provide Synapse logs, system information, or any other diagnostics that would help reproduce the issue.

Hi ,

I am experiencing the exact same issue described in this thread. It happens consistently and multiple times while playing Call of Duty ever since the recent update.

Here are my specific hardware and software details to help the support/dev team track this down:

  • Keyboard Model: Razer Huntsman V3 Pro TKL (Razer Huntsman V3 HE Magnetic Tenkeyless 8KHz - Hall Effect Magnetic Esports Keyboard - US Layout)
  • Firmware Version: 1.2.0.0
  • Synapse Version: 4.0. [removed by moderator]

Please let me know if anyone has found a temporary workaround for Call of Duty, or if Razer support needs me to submit my Synapse logs to investigate further. Hopefully, this can be patched soon!

Hey guys,

Let me assist you with you keyboard. Can you send me a PM with the serial number so I can verify it in our system and use it when I forward your case to our Technical Team so they can further check on the issue?
