Cynosa V2 Media Keys Hold-to-Volume Broken on Windows 26200

Hello Razer Support,

I am experiencing an issue with my Cynosa V2 keyboard where the volume keys no longer support holding to increase or decrease volume after updating to Windows 2026 Preview Build 26200.

Details:

  • Keyboard: Cynosa V2

  • Firmware version: 1.0.2.0

  • Synapse version: 4.0.86.2601201054

  • Windows build: 10.0.26200

Problem description:

  • Pressing the volume keys works for single taps, but holding the key no longer produces continuous volume changes.

  • I have tried remapping the volume keys in Synapse, adjusting Windows keyboard repeat settings, and checking all Synapse profiles. The issue persists.

  • Other keyboards on the same machine work normally.

  • This indicates the problem is likely related to Cynosa V2 + Synapse interaction with Windows 26200, rather than Windows itself.

I would like to know:

  1. Is this a known issue for Cynosa V2 with Insider/preview builds?

  2. Are there any recommended settings, patches, or firmware updates that restore hold-to-volume functionality?

  3. Is a fix planned for this issue in Synapse or future firmware releases?

Thank you for your assistance. I hope this can be addressed soon, as it affects basic functionality of the keyboard.

Best regards.

I also have the same issue with my Hunstman v3 pro mini. If I close Synapse, hold volume works, but when running it only works by tapping. Hope they fix it.

      Having the exact same Problem on a Blackwidow Chroma v2. Closing Synapse completely removes the Media funcionality for me though.

      Windows build: 10.0.26200

      Synapse version: 4.0.86.2601201054
      Keyboard: Blackwidow Chroma v2

      Firmware version: 1.01.00

            A month has gone by, and still no response from Razer.

              Hey guys,

              If you continue to experience the issue, please send me a PM with the serial number of your keyboard so I can verify it in our system and look for troubleshooting steps that might address the volume key hold issue you're currently experiencing.
