Razer Huntsman - L key not working | Razer Insider
Skip to main content

Hi there,

I’ve been using my Razer Huntsman keyboard for almost 3 years and recently it started to have an issue. My L key suddenly stopped working so I tried to fix it or at least identify the issue but it seems to be all in the PCB. 

I’ve tried these things:

  • hard resseting the keyboard - did not help
  • interchanging the mechanical parts of switches - did not help, the part is definitely working 
  • cleaning the sensor with compressed air and with an solution for cleaning internal components and motherboards - did not help 

By this I figured it is probably the sensor on the PCB since the switches are linear optical. Did anyone else encounter this issue? Ive seen a few reports here about L key specifically not working but noone provided a solution. Thanks in advance for your answer, hope you have a wonderful day.

Probably sensor is dead.

Probably sensor is dead.

There probably isnt a way to get new pcb from Razer right? I no longer have warranty but I’d like to keep the keyboard alive for as long as possible. 

Thank you for your response anyways!

Nope.

It’s still possible to ‘revive’ it, but first you must check if it’s 100% sensor issue (and not some pcb - circuit issue), still you need replacement sensors from damaged keyboard (or from key that you don’t use, and solder it into L key).

I’ll try to check the PCB properly and then I’ll decide what to do with it. Thank you for your time mate. Have a nice day.
