Spilled Soda on Razer Cynosa Chroma, How to Clean?

A few days ago I was having a nice gaming session until I was reaching for some Coke and accidentally spilled it on my Cynosa Chroma, now it's getting sticky and I'm having troubles pressing the keys without having to wait for it to slide back into position. How do I clean my keyboard? I've tried to pour a bit of water into the keyboard (as it is apparently spill/water resistant), but I've had no luck in getting the water underneath the keycaps. Is there some way to remove the keycaps so I can clean them? Help!

Changing razer ornata lighting on Xbox

I have a razer ornata chroma that I use on my Xbox, the keyboard is great but I can’t customize the lighting through my Xbox, it just goes back to default, I was wondering if I could use a usb splitter to connect the keyboard to my Xbox and laptop at the same time and be able to customize the lighting and still use the keyboard on my Xbox. I’m thinking that this might work because if synapse is not connected on a different device then the lighting will god back to default, if it is still connected to the laptop with synapse then the lighting should stay right? If it does, then the question is if you can use it on the Xbox. Has anyone tried this and did it work? Or if anyone has a razer keyboard and a usb splitter would you be able to try it for me?

Switchblade iTunes remote control App

Greetings everyone! I wrote a very small application to remote control iTunes playback from your switchblade device - that is, the Deathstalker ultimate, SWTOR keyboard or some older Razer Blade laptops. You can find more out about the project and browse its sources here: https://github.com/Asten99/BladeSong A prebuilt binary for testing can be downloaded here: https://github.com/Asten99/BladeSong/blob/master/BladeSong.zip At the moment, it works in such a way as that you need to start the application (exe file in the zip, leave the folder structure intact) from your desktop. Exit either by the exit button on your keyboard or by just pressing the application launcher button on your keyboard. The application is very limited in functionality at the moment, letting you pause, as well as continue playback and skip to the next or previous song in the current playlist. I plan to expand this functionality to include playlist selection and song browsing. However, i am not a very skilled p

Lighting for Blackwidow X Chroma randomly restarts

so i recently built a new computer and i have purchased the blackwidow x chroma mercury white. i have not had any issues with its functionality but i have just now noticed that the lighting i have set will just turn off and start right back up as if nothing happens by just fading back on. i uninstalled/reinstalled synapse and went as far as removing mystic light as i heard it used to cause an issue as well. i tried to sit back and watch to see if it happens while nothing is being done and could see its not related to what im doing on the screen or on the keyboard. it doesnt really hurt me because its not like im looking at the keyboard 24/7 but it "urks" me knowing that it is doing this. i would really appreciate if i can get some help to solving this problem faster than i could on my own.

Light up macro keys when pressing the Hypershift key?

Hey all, As per the title, when pressing the Hypershift key on my BlackWidow Elite, it turns off lighting for all keys, and lights up the F9-F12 keys, and pause/break -- can I change this to also light up some other keys, like keys i've assigned macros to? Thanks!

Help! Tartarus V2 "Alt" key too hard!

Greetings, Recently I acquired a Razer Tartarus V2. According to the Razer official support of the product it says "features Razer's mecha-membrane keys, a soft cushioned touch with a crisp tactile click." Most of them follows through that description --although the "Spacebar key" (numbered 20) get's sticky sometimes-- . But my principal issue here is the "Alt" key, which doesn't follow the "Soft cushioned touch" support describes. (I attached a pic if you don't know which key i'm talking about) I posted this on Support Forum but no one answered. I thought that maybe someone knows an easy fix to this issue? :(

Blackwidow Chroma V2 LED Problem

Hello, I have a Blackwidow Chorma V2 and it's amazing, I have no issues with it other than when I open up Streamlabs OBS my LED effects which is set to wave in Synapse it stops, like the LEDS freeze and as soon as I close Streamlabs the LEDS work as they should. Is it because Streamlabs uses so much resources? If anyone has any info it would be appreciated, thanks. My Specs: Intel i7 8700k @ 3.70GHz 16GB RAM RX 480 8GB

Hunstman Elite suggestions for Chroma Lighting

This can probably apply to all keyboards, mice, or anything that has the chroma lighting. One thing that I do find a bit annoying is that during boot, when I lock my computer, and when the software occasionally (one time being too many) doesn't see the keyboard that it defaults to a gaudy rainbow effect. I am sure there are a few people out there who like it, but I find it just annoying. It would be really great that if the lighting that I spent some time tweaking and making it exactly the way I wanted it to be, be the default all the time unless I specify otherwise. I can't be that hard to have the keyboard store the current lighting setup as a default boot, idle, etc, option. If I lock my screen the lights on the keyboard should stay exactly as I left them, when I boot my computer the lights should be exactly as I left them. I don't see how that is an issue or how it could be difficult to implement.

2 questions for Razer Huntsman (slippery rubber feet and wrist rest problems)

I'm almost certain that I will get a Razer huntsman, but have 2 questions to ask before I decide between the regular or the elite: 1) for the regular, non-elite, if the rubber feet are raised, does it slip around much? I saw some reviews that said it slips a bit, so I'm worried that it may slip too much in an intense match 2) for the elite: I heard that if the palm rest is misaligned, it will cause stuttering keys. I heard there is a firmware to fix this, but I saw Reddit posts just this month saying it still occurs. Has the latest firmware fixed this yet? Thanks!

Kana keycaps for JIS Huntsman Elite?

Hey! I want to purchase the JIS layout of the Huntsman Elite, but it doesn't come with kana keycaps and I can't find anywhere that sells them.(It's hard enough to find keycaps that fit normal Razer keyboards, let alone the JIS version) The closest I can find are the ones on this Cooler Master keyboard https://apac.coolermaster.com/jp/peripheral/keyboards/masterkeys-mk750/ but alas, the bottom row doesn't align.(Corsair also sells keyboards with them in that layout, but I dislike the font.) I could replace only the character keys, but I'd prefer to have a matching set if possible.

The Razer Huntsman's Switch "Reset" Time + Keychattering

I am considering getting a Razer Huntsman for the new optomechanical purple switches to play Tetris with. From what I know, it is light, has low travel distance, fast actuation, clicky, tactile, and free from wobbles. Its heavier keys, like space and shift also seem to use superior stabilisers compared to Cherry, which does not make it mushy. I also heard that it solves the problem of 'hysteresis', where now, the actuation point is the same as the reset point. However, when I went to a store to test it out just now, I found out that in order for the key to click again after pressing down, you have to lift your fingers up to the point of clicking, before you can push down again. The sample was not connected to a computer, so I cannot test it by seeing if I can 'wiggle' the key switch, such that my continued double or triple tappings are below the 'clicky/tactile' point, to see if the key can continue registering presses, just like on my Cherry MX speed switches. As such, I am worri

Tartarus V2: D-pad switches failing (4 devices failed in < 1 year)

**Update 11/15/2018 - 4th device just failed with same issue (d-pad microswitch fails). See below for more details. **Update 7/12/18 - 3rd device just failed with same issue (d-pad button). See my new post below for the details.** Hi - I'm not certain if this is the right place to post this, but I'm hoping to bring attention to a quality control issue on the new Tartarus V2 Chroma d-pad switches in the hopes that it will get fixed in a new revision of the product. TLDR: the d-pad micro-switches are failing way too fast (~1-2 months of use). After a bit of research, I'm 99% certain I found the switches that are being used (http://www.kailh.com/en/Products/MS/MN/389.html), which claim to be rated for 3 million clicks. There are 4 of these switches (one for each direction on the d-pad) on a little daughter board inside the device. First Failure (JAN '18 - mid FEB '18, ~1.5 months) - the "right / east" d-pad button fails. Switch starts to stick in-game and loses it "clicky" sound.

Does Razer not sell this product?

I was looking to buy a new keyboard, and came across the Blackwidow X Chroma. The problem is, I wanted to buy it in mercury white, and with the UK layout. However, this was not an option in when I tried to buy it in the store. Does razer not sell this product?

Any chance of us synapse 2.0 users importing lighting effects into 3.0?

Title, or is this a false hope I should give up on? I don't want to lose the effects I see when typing if I can help it. Running the old software is "fine" for now.
