How is everyone finding the kb's feet? They don't prop up high enough to create the usual incline I'm used to. The feet tend to drop with any slight movement, too, requiring them to be re-opened and re-adjusted. Tempted to attach my own keyboard feet.
Has anyone found a fix for the synapse software????
The synapse software works only after the first reboot after the installation of the software , on next reboot it stop working.
i have to unistall and then install to make it work again.
I cant believe that a keyboard I bought for more than 200 euros has no software update to fix this problem.
none of the effects work this is very dissapointing.

The huntsman looks "Elite", its not time for me to upgrade yet from my Blackwidow elite yet. Still in love with the green switch keyboard :big_grin_:

The Blackwidow Elite is better than the Huntsman Elite - I own both and have used them extensively -
Overall the Blackwidow Elite wins - yes the huntsman is great and has slightly softer to press switches - but it kinda feels slightly gimmicky - the switches feel a bit synthetic and not real mechanical feeling like the Normal Razer switches -
Overall - the Blackwidow Elite wins
Just want to add - the new Razer Switches have ZERO key wobble - I have two Blackwidow Elites - with green and Yellow switches and both are awesome - i alternate every couple of days as i cant really decide which i prefer - Yellow or green -
For me - the most impressive thing about the Blackwidow Elite is the awesome Costar Stabilizers - they have ZERO rattle - compared to my Corsair K70's ( i have 3 ) which are now all gathering dust - I've tried to lube and mod my K70's stabilizers but it still doesn't feel as good as the Costar stabs on the Razer boards -
My only gripe with the new Razer boards is the cheap and flimsy volume Wheel ?? - it's total trash - On my huntsman its stiff and grinds like its hooking on something and on my Blackwidow Elite with the Green switches its erratic - doesn't control the volume smoothly and accurately - sometimes when I turn down the volume jumps up slightly before coming down - Razer really dropped the ball with the cheap flimsy lucky packet level volume wheels - - this is one area Corsair blows Razer out the water - the Volume wheel on the Corsair boards is on another level completely -
I'm wishing for 3 things for future Razer boards
1. High quality volume Wheel
2. Lose the gimmicky Media buttons - this is a gaming board - not a music player
3. all metal case - top and bottom -
if Razer does this - it'll be an all time best ever Gaming keyboard - Period
but if the media buttons have to stay - at least use Mechanical switches - not cheap rubber dome - after all - is this an all mechanical keyboard or not ?

I have not used the Huntsman elite yet, but this is a good compliment for the Blackwidow elite keyboards!

Cheers!
Wow that looks awesome!
Aww just realised it does not have a USB pass through (have my Basilisk plugged into it), but still an amazing new keyboard. Finally Razer has added a rotary dial!! No more awkward Function key to change volumes
Looks sick! Would love to have this in my set up!
