Hello I purchased Razerwindow v3 tenkeyless Keyboard. it was expensive one. But left CTRL key is not working sometimes. I am a programmer, so I use that key many times. L-CTRL key is not working once a minute or 30 seconds, randomly. I am not sure why. the other keyboards work well. I tested. only this keyboard doesn't work well. Could you tell me the reason?

Curious to know if you got this fixed?

A week after warranty my left ctrl is unresponsive mostly.

I will restart my pc and it will work for a few minutes then is unresponsive.

It is extremely curious that this also happened to me a few weeks or months after the warranty expired on my Blackwidow v3 tkl yellow switches, coincidence ?

Try exiting Synapse to check if it’s not some synapse bug or even try it on another PC without synapse installed. If it’s the same - I’d recommend to RMA keyboard, since you have valid warranty.

For other people that don’t have any warranty left - you can pour few drops of 100% isopropyl alcohol into the faulty key, press it few times and let it evaporate.
