Huntsman V3 HE TKL – Frequent Input Drops and ESC Key Becoming Unresponsive During Games

Hello,

I am experiencing serious input issues with my Razer Huntsman V3 HE TKL.

Problems

  1. Dropped key inputs during gaming
    • Key presses occasionally fail to register.
    • The issue occurs in multiple different games, so it does not appear to be specific to one game.
  2. ESC key sometimes stops responding during games
    • While playing a game, the ESC key can suddenly stop responding.
    • However, if I Alt+Tab to a browser and press ESC, it works normally.

Current Firmware

  • Firmware: v1.01.09_r1

Troubleshooting Already Tried

I have tested the following settings and configurations, but none of them resolved the problem:

  • Rapid Trigger: OFF
  • Polling Rate: 1000 Hz and 8000 Hz
  • Actuation Point: 1.2 mm and 2.0 mm
  • Razer Synapse: tested with Synapse running and closed
  • Razer Synapse Web version: tested
  • Disabled the keyboard's gamepad/controller device in Windows Device Manager
  • Tested with multiple different games

The input drops and ESC issue occur regardless of these changes.

Has anyone else experienced similar issues with the Huntsman V3 HE, especially:

  • dropped/missed key inputs during games
  • keys becoming temporarily unresponsive
  • ESC becoming unresponsive only in games
  • input problems that persist after changing the above settings
