I just bought the huntsman mini which I totally love in terms of look and feel... but I'm returning it right away :(
This is the 2nd time I buy a razer product and have to return it, both times the product had so much potential and both times seems like "lack of test" is the reason the product is barely usable, a real pitty cause I truly love the look and feel.
Well, I go to the point. Got the keyboard yesterday and I wasn't able to use the "onboard" profiles, synapse lets me load them and all that but when I cycle trough them in the keyboard with synapse turned off they do not work (I always get the same "Spectrum cycling" lighning no mater what I loaded into the profile).
So I headed to the support page for the keyboard and found that there is firmware update, I though "Great! this might fix the issue"... After installing the driver the keyboard FN combos were messed and the windows taskbar unusable, the FN combos were fixed once I launched again synapse but the windows taskbar is broken for the span of 4 to 5 minutes every time I start windows (that is simply unbearable, I have to reinstall windows now but I cannot keep a keyboard that I know can cause that, not the keyboard itself, but the support attached to it).

Well, that firmware update crashed my pc, bluescreen. Am now installing windows for the third time since i bought the huntsman mini a couple of months ago. There is no way i will connect it to my pc again. Will return and buy another kb, not interested in keeping my viper ultimate either.

Huntsman TE TKL here. Still broken after trying everything. Also have a Ryzen CPU (3700x on B450 board)
Shows that Razer does not even have a clue on which products are affected. It is hardly imaginable coming from Razer but I think most have accepted that and moved on. Maybe that will take another 3 months.

Just tried the firmware update, seems to fix the issue.

Testing it now so far so good on the intel system that it was having trouble on before. I wish they would tell us what the issue was though.
Yes, works for me now as well! No need to refund then

It certainly is improved. Still seems a little off.

Confirmed this solved the issue for me as well. My support person still hasn't sent this to me so I appreciate the group effort here. Take care all.

This fixed it, Thanks for sharing
I hope Razer is aware that this problem is also on the Huntsman Tournament Editon TKL and issues a fix as well. It is a joke they do not even know which products are affected to only issue a firmware fix for 1 variant.

Mind sharing the download ? The rep I spoke to said to download the firmware he sent but he forgot to include a download link XD

The taskbar is not an AMD only issue. It is also happening on my Intel Z390 and my friend's Intel Z590 with the same Huntsman Tournament Edition TKL keyboard.
The taskbar issue may be amd only but the keyboard will also glitch out and double or triple spam key presses or have random keys stop working at times. I've tested that aspect on both a zen3/x570 build and an intel z370 build.
I know the keyboard itself isn't faulty though because i can plug it into an older machine and it works flawlessly. So it's some sort of software/firmware issue.

Just bought a Mini and have AMD laptop, was going crazy all day and found this thread.
This is crazy that they have yet to fix this issue....
a keyboard having issues out of the box is a no starter with me I guess I return this and go back to using my Huntsman elite.
Think this will be my last razer product. it's insane thinking they waited all this time with zero fixes.

I have the same issues (super slow Windows boot/freeze, keys not working) with the Huntsman Mini on my Ryzen 5 1600 on a A320M-K mainboard. I unplugged the keyboard and tried it with my Windows Surface laptop and it works without any problems. I will wait for that firmware fix for a bit longer right until my warranty expires.
Man, with all the people having this issue I can't believe this isn't a higher priority. Sorry, you had to join this merry band.

Right!!!! When it first started happening I thought for sure it was just Windows being stupid. I mean in the 15 years I've been doing IT I've never seen this issue. I was so surprised when my troubleshooting led me to the keyboard being the issue. I remember saying out loud, "you've got to be f-ing kidding me."
I know what you mean, Been building computers since roughly 2007 and upon finding out the keyboard was the root cause I was like "what in the actual shiznits is this ?!?!?!"

If this isn't solved soon then I'm selling it on ebay and steering well clear of Razer products going forward and warning others not to buy Razer, It's a keyboard, 1 of the most basic things in a computer setup, This shouldn't be happening XD

Well, I ended up buying the Razer Blackshark V2 Pros at the same time as the keyboard so I'm definitely worried at this point. I feel kinda silly dropping over $300 on two peripherals and having issues with one of them right off the bat.
