Huntsman V2 Analog repeating previously pressed keys

Hi there. I’m the owner of (so far) two Huntsman V2 Analogs. I fell for the marketing gimmick of the variable actuators, but that aside, I love them to bits. I use one, and my boyfriend uses another. My keyboard will, at seemingly random, repeat the last dozen keys or so that have been pressed in the last minute. The result is an infuriating situation where the keyboard will repeat windows key presses, enter keystrokes, alt-tab inputs (which makes games more interesting), grenade key (g) inputs (which makes games slightly more interesting), fire-mode selector (x) inputs (which makes games significantly more interesting), and spewing the last few seconds of conscious thoughts I’ve just typed a second time in an instant, trashing whatever sentence I’m trying to formulate. If that happens while I’m typing this, I’ll leave it in as an example.

So it registers as actual inputs, so I immediately suspected hardware, or some kind of conflict. I haven’t noticed if the chroma lights respond to these echoed inputs, and I don’t know if that would tell me anything useful about the issue at hand. The issue has presented through a refresh of windows, driver reinstallation, firmware updates, uninstalls and reinstalls and rollbacks and port changes and every which method of restoring and repairing software I can think of. I caved, and submitted a support ticket with Razer.

They were prompt in getting me set up with a replacement unit which, of course, exhibited the exact same behavior. My PC is a $5,000 wreck from a large pre-build manufacturer who shipped it with an inadequate power supply, so I thought maybe “Hey, something on the mb is probably just shagged, I probably have to replace it, but incase something is only corrupted or something in my SSD, I’ll reinstall my OS”. So I did that, much to my chagrin. Then, my boyfriend, the owner of the second keyboard we’ve purchased, reported that he’s been having the same damn issue.

The issue is confounding, because it happens so randomly that I can’t put a nail in any one particular cause. I think it’s a software conflict somewhere, but I’m not sure how to check precisely what might be throwing the conflict on two entirely different machines. As far as I’m aware, the only applications we both have installed are the big ones that probably millions of people have installed. (Steam, Discord, Synapse 3, etc)

I believe recalling the issue repeating while synapse wasn’t initialized, which would be a hell of a thing, but I wouldn’t swear on it because my mind is shot full of holes, so this is a sort of last hurrah attempt to solve the issue before I just convince myself to tear the 3090 out of my rig and slap it into a new one when my expenses can afford it.

Am I crazy? Does this issue sound familiar to anyone else? Is someone burning toast? Please help.

Thanks bunches!

I am having the same exact issue on my Huntsman V2 Analog as well

I might see if we can have someone from Razer look into the issue. I’ve noticed it tends to occur more frequently in the evening, which is even more confounding. Do you notice it becoming any more frequent during specific times, or while doing specific things? If it matters, I’m running Windows 11 on an Intel CPU; i9-11900k. There’s just so many similarities we might have that could be the source. I know Razer has some log collecting software, that could help, but I’m not even remotely clever enough to dig through the logs. I might see if I can feed them to an AI and see if it can make sense of any log events.

If I had to guess, I suspect it might be a conflict between drivers that are proprietary to Razer’s analog system, whether it’s in use or not, and something on the OS’s side. A conflict with the analog system would explain why this might be a relatively niche problem for most people. I barely found anything online, and hardly anything in forums. If it’s related to the analog feature, then only users who are specifically using a Huntsman V2 Analog would be impacted. I doubt it’s a very prevalent keyboard, despite how novel the input technique is.

We require the wisdom of the Elders.

My Huntsman V2 Analog has the exact same issue, it randomly repeats the last word/letters I type. It started a few weeks ago. The problem occurs only when Synapse is running.

I also have this exact issue. Very problematic issue!

Recently copied a password and pasted it, then switched to Discord and typed in a public chat room. I got my password pasted and sent mid-sentence.

Also been having issues, as stated by OP, where I’m writing a text and it repeats a whole sentence for absolutely no reason.

Although from what I can remember, this issue is somewhat new. I’ve had my Huntsman V2 Analog for a year now and only really started noticing this for the past few months at most.

Same problem here, running the latest firmware and Synapse version.

Possibly related is another funny thing that can happen randomly if you spam the keyboard hard for 5-10 seconds but I’ll leave that for anyone reading this to find out. (yep it’s bad lol)

The only culprit seems to be Synapse even without installing any of its modules/addons. Once you exit Synapse everything goes away.

It also turns out after some deep googling that it is certainly a software bug happening on most of their devices. The only thing ppl have been posting in the last years is to just exit Synapse completely and never run it again. This of course is not a real solution.
Really a shame their software guys couldn’t solve these issues after so much time, maybe due to some kind of limitation or unrealistic expectations from their own hardware components, who knows.

Support will never be able to solve anything unfortunately since this is an old issue and nobody found anything to fix it yet.

I’m having this issue too. It seems to happen more when Im typing fast. If I purposefully try to recreate it I cant seem to.
I was even looking into windows shortcuts to see if there is one to copy paste the exact past so many letters that you typed, but then I remembered my keyboard is Razer and to check the forums here first.

Just adding that I tried to raise a support ticket as I thought the more people raise tickets the more likely they are to notice the issue.

Turns out that I can no longer raise a ticket as my keyboard is outside of warranty period.

So if anyone else wants to add a support ticket to bring awareness of this issue you will have to do it under software>synapse category if your keyboard is out of warranty period.

The retyping previous sentence problem still isn't fixed. Updated the firmware and synapse but still happening.

I found out today (watching a video on Youtube) that the Wooting software warns the user that "when tachyon mode is enabled, increasing your brightness may result in unwanted key presses"... so I tried decreasing the brightness on my Huntsman Analog V2, just in case. At the moment it seems to me that the problem has reduced significantly ... but maybe it's just a coincidence.

Same issue. New firmware. No Macros. Don't know why. Noticed it for a few months now. Copies at least the last several words typed and then pasted onto the end. Seems to happen when I make a mistake typing too quickly. Perhaps when I hit a few keys at once. Hard to tell exactly though because it feels quite random if it happens or not and I can't replicate it consistently.

Same issue here, for a few months too. Support told me a fix could come in the form of a synapse update but still nothing

D

I have the same issue. 
Have the newest firmware V1.04, but this did not fix it.
Seems like a keyboard over €200,- is not worth it.

Nevermind. Nothing changed.

This started happening to me what feels like a few weeks or months ago.  It doesn’t happen a lot, but when it does, but when it does, its really annoying but when it does it’s really annoying.

 

See what I did there?  Perfect example of the issue.

Just installed a new patch. The patch notes did say bug fixes for huntsman V2 analog.

 

FIngers crossed.

Which version? I have Synapse 3.8.731.72514, 20230731. It didn’t fix anything.

Yeah same version.

Havent noticed it yet but then again its completely random so doesnt mean it isnt still broken.

I wouldnt mind so much if Razer would just say “yes there is an issue we are working to resolve it as soon as possible” or similar. Every time anyone has an issue though there is a distinct lack of Razer presence. You have to submit tickets and answer many copy paste e-mails only for them to say you have to RMA despite everyone having the same issue and it obviously being software.

It was the same when the huntsman V2 first came out and everyone had the sticky key issue but only when synapse was on.

Razer, I love you, I love your hardware, but your software leaves something to be desired and you refuse to accept issues with it. PLEASE listen to your customers and just be straight with us :’(

Well as suspected this did not solve the problem. It has happened another couple of times.

I wish the patch notes were specific about what was repaired other than “general bug fixes”.

Oh well, back to waiting and hoping something happens when I’m not even sure they are aware of the issue or not. #Razerlyfe

Hi guys,

Since three or two updates ago, I have the same issue with my Huntsman V2 Analog, It’s Synapse problem 100% if you close it, doesn’t occurs. Please fix it!!! your overpriced devices needs a better software.

As Ros6777 said, I just tried decreasing the brightness to 20 and seems works

Dont worry I’m sure a representative from Razer will talk to us soon to let us know they are working on it……..

 

OR as Lilith said to Inarius “Silence is their Judgement”

Huntsman V2 Analog here also, same problem, it copies and pastes half a sentence randomly while I am typing, it also goes crazy when in bios, like is 3 to 5 keypresses behind, I have to hook up a cheaper keyboard to do any bios edits on the PC.

If they would at least allow you to roll back to previous versions of Synapse, we would temporarily fix the problem... but you can't downgrade. There are also rumors of a Synapse 4 in beta... I hope it's something decent and not what we have now. I repeat again Please fix it!!! your OVERPRICED devices needs a better software, if you have a quality hardware Why degrade your brand image with this bad software?

We’re still at it people; I’ve been in contact with Razer support since I opened this ticket, and I sent in some logs from Synapse log collector. they pushed one update in an effort to rectify the issue, which had no effect on the bug. Do people experiencing this bug also use chroma on their keyboards? It’s a snowball’s chance, but really the only thing I can think to do is share commonalities. 

So far, more often than not the issue seems to manifest most often when:

  • typing quickly
  • making a mistake when typing
  • making multiple inputs
  • using the keyboard later in the evening
  • Chroma brightness is set >20

 

My keyboard has a Chroma Studio setup with Static, Ripple, Spectrum Cycling and Audio Meter. No macros running. Anything here ring true with anyone else?

I’ll update this thread once I hear back from Razer’s team on this. They’ve been assuring me they’re waiting to hear from their software team on the issue.

Thanks  Cody0866

About your points:

  • typing quickly → Same for me
  • making a mistake when typing → Same for me
  • making multiple inputs → Same for me
  • using the keyboard later in the evening → Nope, occurs always.
  • Chroma brightness is set >20 → Same for me, tested with brighness < 20 also occurs but  less
