the huntasman is new

There is a known issue with the Huntsman Mini and AMD CPUs. Check out this tread - /huntsman-mini-broke-my-windows.65606/page-7



After 2 months, no update from Razer so not sure if they will fix it anytime soon.

/huntsman-mini-broke-my-windows.65606/page-7



Motherboard with AMD X570 socket is what seems to be causing the issue

further investigation is required, whether it is just AMD X570 socket that is causing this or every AMD motherboards or all Huntsman mini?



But judging by how there are so many Insiders that have this issue, it could be all AMD motherboards. It is too soon to come to a judgment call



We need to hear from anyone with an Intel motherboard socket to raise their voice.



Otherwise there is the Huntsman v2 that is out now

This issue is not related to Windows 10 OS, its a known issue with AMD chips (as mentioned by @Sye_The-Vie as well) and the Hunstman mini h/w patch. As per the Razer's statement from before on multiple other reports of the same issue, they will are working on the root cause and will be releasing a firmware update to address this issue.

If it matters to anyone. I'm getting the same issues on my dell xps 15 and apple m1 mac mini. The keyboard worked fine for me for a couple days and then all of a sudden my space, enter and "i" keys weren't responding. I disabled the lighting effect on my keyboard and that seemed to work although I occasionally had a delay or no response at all from those three keys. I tried firmware and troubleshooting, switching cables, unplugging every time. Nothing that's officially fixed it. I too am at my wits end. I'll try to return it to my shop but I stupidly threw out the packaging for it.

this is new firmware update for this issue
What I found out is if I leave my keyboard unplugged overnight and plug it in when I use it, the keyboard works just fine. If its left in for longer then 2 days it will give me some issues with some keys not working or being unresponsive. Some people should try this and report back. For me no issues so far.
this is still happening with blackwidow v3, x570 board with 5900x.
Same here with a Blackwidow 3, x570 and 3700x
They quit helping me because I couldn't provide a video of it happening because i was not willing to reformat my pc and install using their keyboard again. Guess this issue is forever an issue with the blackwidow v3. They wouldn't take my word that the video of this poster and his huntsman had the EXACT SAME SYPTOMS down to the same damn apps messing up.
Still happen with Firmware v1.32.00 r2 for Razer Huntsman Mini

I must deconnect the keyboard to deblock explorer.exe and reconnect at each restart :(

With 2 sessions open, the windows key don't do anything for the second user.

I wait another firmware...
Stil happens with latest firmware, also my huntsman mini started to eat random letters
same thing with my blackwidow v3, still going on.
Hm... this issue looks like mine. Explorer.exe is hanging sometimes at system start (frozen desktop, when I click on taskbar it'll reload but unresponsive). After restart it's OK. But when I'll turn off comptuer and turn it on again it'll happen again (but not always).



I'm on AMD (B450m chipset motherboard @ Ryzen 5 3500X), and using BlackWidow V3.

Tested Windows 10 Pro 21H1 and currently I'm on older version 20H2. After installing older ver it was OK for about month, now the issue is back.



But I've found a workaround for this - it helped for me at least - disable fast boot / fast startup option in Windows: https://www.asus.com/support/FAQ/1045548/

@RichLilacbesttruck880 @Raider000101 @LucasWalker007 @Redbeardtpirate @VonSkull - can you check the workaround and post your feedback?

I just turned off fast startup. My main issue is that I can't duplicate the issue on every single startup. It will just be completely fine for a couple days, and then it happens again. I'll come back if the issue happens again!
Happening to me too, Huntsman Mini, Even with the firmware update from February it started happening again, Windows 10 up to date etc...



If I turn the PC off, Unplug the Huntsman Mini and plug in my Corsair K65 Mini there are zero issues, This is a repeatable problem.

Same. I just installed windows with a corsair keyboard and it went fine. Installed and started u with an old Microsoft keyboard and it was fine. Did it again with a blackwidow v3 and it hangs and errors.

Yeah whichever team is doing Razers firmware for their keyboards needs to sort this out.

Yes, I know, had the same - problem is not every single startup, but hope it should be fine now :)

Just let me know in week or two.
Hi, this video helped me with the issue.
