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!
