All the keys are repeating sporadically when I type. Sometimes it has no response when depressed, such as the arrow keys or punctuation keys. I have to spend a lot of time checkingg the spelling and missing letters.
If there is any typo here it is because I gogt fed uup on correction.
Surprisingly, it's been over 2 months since another keyboard replacement and I haven't seen any problems with multiple keystrokes
I guess it depends on the batch of production
Hey did you just contact support to get the replacement?
Yes, created a new replacement request for them each time.
I've made the replacement several times. Key duplication showed up almost immediately in each swap. Except for the last one
What is the batch of the last one? It’s the first four digits in serial number (like IO2440 = 24 year, 40th week).
IO2450

Min has been doing this for over a year. Razer knows abouut it buut hasn’t fixed it or offer any solutions as to how to fix it. Pollling rate is a tmp fix thhat lasts a few hours, takkinng out of dmo moe is anoter temporrary solution that lasts a few houurs. considring both tmp fixes apply to softwar, you would think Razeer would figur out this is more likkely a software relatd issuee than a hardwar one. I obviously typd this with this ovrprid pic of trash V4 Pro, Pro POS maybe buut how anyone promote this garbage, loo at all these pople with the same issuue, it shows Razer don’t GAF.
Hi, ive got a BW V4 Pro aswell and i just finally figured out how to fix it, at least for mine.
Go into Syanapse and on the Keyboard tab, turn down your Polling Rate.
Edit: Polling Rate dindt help, tried putting electronic cleaner on all of the switches, so far everything fine.
I've got a BlackWidow V4 X that is often either not registering keys or pressing keys double.
To me this started happening after cleaning the keyboard for the first time.
Quite a hardware issue if you'd ask me. It shouldn't double press / ignore keys after a cleaning job.
Many other keyboards work fine but Razer's quality control is terrible. IMHO, they should use their own products during work for better quality control before releasing the actual product.
Peripherals should be able to survive 4 to 6 years. Not 1 to 2 years or in some cases several months. Terrible.
Other companies can make better quality products, so should Razer.
But as long as people keep buying the products, despite being faulty quickly. Nothing is going to change. This is peoples own doing.
If this continues, I'll just stop buying Razer products as a whole. I'm done spending hundreds of euro's every few years for new gear that should've lasted longer.
They just keep milking and milking because they can.

Raazer BW V4 here, same issue - braand new keyboarad. Tried all the recommended fixes with no success. Seeing the same issues on Windows 11 aand Fedora with OpenRazer + PolyChromatic. Currently have polling set to 125Hz and still seeing the issue. I can confidently say thaata the issue has become progressively worse over time.
Massively disaaappointed given the how expensive this keyboard is. As for the people who aare replacing keys aand jumping through hoops - good for you, but iin reality that shouldn’t have to be a thing.
I’ve the same issue with R & K key and probed whole net and did every solutions but still have the problem. This was my first Razer product and maybe it’ll be the last one.
It's very funny actually. Got a replacement keyboard. While mine, the ‘non-working’ one, is being delivered to Razer, the ‘new’ one has had this same problem with duplicate or missing keystrokes. And on other keys
I posted in here a while ago, and I recently replaced the razer orange switches for halo trues. I’ve had no issues since and am able to use the keyboard. Its a shame that the switches are so faulty cause I really liked the feel. For anyone wondering the halo trues are noticeably heavier than the orange switches. Its heavier than I would like it to be but I'd take this over the double typing any day. Some people in this thread have said good things about the AKKO V3 cream blues so I might give those a try in the future. But it really is pathetic that it’s pretty much a necessity to buy a whole new set of switches to even be able to use the keyboard properly. And even more pathetic that Razer has shown absolutely 0 effort to resolve this issue.
its been about 5 months with a new set of non razer switches and i have had the occurrence of a few keys starting to double type again. I really thought the switches were the issue so now im really thrown for a loop as to what is actually causing these issues. they are only barely happening now but im sure it will only get worse over time. at this point it really is seeming like the only way to rid myself of this problem is to just buy a new keyboard that isnt a piece of junk
Blackwidow v4 Pro user for almost 1 year
Double or even triple typing appeard after roughly 6 months, got worse and worse. (mostly a and w keys)
It’s pathetic and sad that users should rely on a freaking 3rd party software from softpedia. 0 communication, 0 official response or useful solutions. Oh wait, have you tried cleaning your keyboard? have you tried unplugging it??? Please try using our keyboard without using our OWN software/management solution - which might be the cause of the issue! (Jesus Christ...)
Please dont waste your money on this keyboard. For me it was also the last Razer product.
I now hate words with the letter “a” in them, thanks Raazer (i left thaat sentence uncorrected)
-200bucks, -1 customer, lesson leaarned :)
Adding to this. I have a Blackwidow v4 Pro and I have a few characters that repeat (a, t, d, s are ones i remember off the top of my head). I have tried on new computers and with my Macbook Pro for work but still seeing the same issue hard wired or through a USB Hub.
I have the same problem 
(BlackWidow V4 Pro)
Same issue. I am annoyed.
I am also having this issue. Mostly when pressing the keys: e, i, s, and space. It’s really not helpful when trying to learn how to program. I have tried a new USB port, removed and cleaned those specific keys/switches (helped temporarily), and deleting and re-downloading synapse. Nothing has permanently fixed the problem. :( It makes me feel less crazy to see everyone else having the same repetitive keys. It takes twice as much time to type anything since I have to go back and correct frequently. Do not recommend.
Really not encouraging to see how long this issue has been going on with no official response. I’m having the same issue on two different computers and really reaching the end of my rope. I’ve tried most of the fixes mentioned, Synapse reinstall, firmware updates, adjusting polling rate, etc. Is the conclusion that switches need to be replaced or is it just faultty hardware?
Today I swapped orange faulty switches with new AKKO blue cream ones. So far no issues detected.
It costed me ~ $25 https://en.akkogear.com/product/akko-v3-cream-blue-pro-switch-45pcs/
They feel even better than oranges to me (also Tactile). Hope this helps someone as the keyboard itself is very good except switches.
did this fix the problem? i am going to do this myself if it did. just bought a new steelseries keyboard today and want to see if i can salvage my old one since i did love it before all my issues with it
After seeing all of the comments here and my problem returning after a couple of days (N key and the O key) .. I returned it.
I have replaced it with a Corasir K100. Very similar functionality .. let’s see if it lasts more than a couple months
I am on my 4th Blackwidow v4 pro. The firstone never had this issu (it had a different issue) the last 3 have all had this issue and it has beeeen different keys for each keyboard
I was having issues with the ‘N’ key repeating, or not working.
I tried the various software resolutions without success.
The fix for me was to use the switch remover to pull and re-seat the N key switch.
Pulled the CAP, pulled the switch, pulled the N swicth (didn’t need to pull all the way out, just jiggled a bit)
This problem is still getting worse. Spacebar is doubleclicking or not responding very often. I have tried everything including USB 3 ports and nothing works. Sometimes I have to press spacebar 7-8x to get response.
Now I will show you how it looks like when I will type the same thing again with my V4 PRO:
“Thisproblemisstill gettingworse.Spacebarisdoubleckicking ornotrespondingveryoften.IhavetriedeverythingincludingUSB3portsandnothingworks.Sometimes Ihavetopress spacebar7-8xto getresponse.” (spacebar reacted only 3 times out of 34 times) - 125 POLLING RATE
And no, its not a hardware issue, but software issue. When I change the POLLING RATE from 125 to 8 000 in synapse, then spacebar is only sometimes double clicking, but always respond.
This is a serious problem and I am very disappointed with this very expensive keyboard. RAZER keyboard = never again!
(Space issues below arent being correctedon purpose as an example)
I purchased a Blackwidow V4 pro (full sized) and i have issue with the spacebar.
Sometimes you get 2 spaces with one press and sometime you get no space.
Ihave tried using different computerand changing all kinds of settings.
Its a hardware issue.
I am surprisedthat Razer has not made a recall to correct this
Razer Executives, please pull your head out of your butt
This keyboard has been out for awhile now and I am sure many people have compained.
I have decided to end my long term relationship with Razer - I have spent thousands over the years and a $230 keyboard with a silly spacebar issue that you refuse to fix is the cause + your lack of giving a damn
