Razer BlackWidow Elite | Feel the Difference

Got mine today - yellow swtches - and at first was a bit worried. I tried the Logitech G513 a week ago and was devastated about the loud spring noise every single switch makes when released. I gave it 2/5 stars on Amazon (Germany) and another platform describing my experience and my disappointment. Now the Razer Black Widow Elite has that, too, BUT...to a much lower degree. I'm able to directly compare it to my (failing) Corsair K70 Lux with Cherry MX Brown switches. They are much louder on their own, the switch "clicking" itself is louder, but the springs don't make a noise, not even a bit. So this is definitely a thing and both companies should look into this. It seems there is still a difference between an age old company like Cherry who figured out these things over the past decades and a "newcomer" to the scene of custom switches like Logitech and Razer. Razer needs to work on it a little bit, more a matter of better quality in the future than a failed design, but Logitech need

Razer BlackWidow Elite | Feel the Difference

Sorry, I will add this to the original post: Yellow switches. And I'm not talking about the normal noise the switches make when you press them. Not the clicking. The springs, they...ring. A bit. Like I said, far less than with the crappy Logitech Romer G. But Cherry switches don't do this, at all. We have to differ here between noise that is actually expected from a switch and accidental noise and I would definitly call the spring coil noise an unwanted side effect.

Razer BlackWidow Elite | Feel the Difference

Did a little reading the "ping" or "filco ping" thing, as it is officially called. Apparently there is a name for everything. :D It seems more common than I thought and even with all kinds of switches, even Cherry switches. There are websites exclusively mentioning and informing about all kinds of mechanical switch experiences over the years, like this one: https://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/wiki/mcrip#wiki_sound_illusions So I guess I will just bear with it. I retested my older failing mechanical keyboard with the MX Brown and on closer "inspection" it got a spring sound, too. Just not as audible because the switches themselves are louder. And it is entirely possible that the spring sound was louder at the beginning, as one hint suggests: Wait for it to go away - temperature and wear can affect PING! All the other options seem to be a little over the top imho. Sound mats, lubing...nah, wont do any of that. Logitech Romer G switch users might though...tehehe. :D

Razer Basilisk LEDs stay active after PC power down

It already was a USB 2.0 port. Tried another, no luck. Though this whole thing seems a little bit more complex or let's say...rather strange. Here is what I found: if the mouse is not moved after shutdown the LEDs stay off. It's hard though, the sensor is sensitive by design... if I plug out the Basilisk and plug it back in while the PC is off, it does not light up again, even when moving the mouse of clicking the buttons So that means...what? That the ports are not powered? Impossible, the mouse has to get its power somehow. Or that they are only powered when the device is pluged in on shutdown but are not automatically powered when a device is plugged in while the pc is off? This is confusing... Well, I guess I'll wait what GIGABYTE has to say about this. The mainboard is from 2012 (old but reliable :D), hopefully they have an idea. ^^

Razer Basilisk LEDs stay active after PC power down

The GIGABYTE support answered and they were spot-on. This is probably something to add to your FAQ, so here we go. The option in the BIOS is called: ErP and it needs to be ENABLED. Its state determines whether it is allowed for the system to use less than 1 watts while powered down (enabled) or more (disabled). If enabled things like power-on-by-usb-device are automatically greyed-out and usb ports are no longer powered when the system is off. Anyway, thanks for the support, I hope this might help other people in the future. :)

Razer ultimate new firmware?

This is getting rather ridiculous. 1.02 was a step in the right direction, I did not anticipate they'd be able to make it worse again. In Germany we'd call it a proper "Banana Product". Meaning it'll usually be ripe long after purchase... This product would've needed another year but I guess they didn't want to wait this long. I will have to remember this the next time I'll consider buying a Razer product.

Razer ultimate new firmware?

I have to add the following: When I wrote that 1.02 was a step into the right direction, I exclusively meant the bluetooth lag issue. I never had it as bad as seen in some YT videos, but nevertheless 1.02 made the pad considerably more responsive compared to 1.00 or 1.01 beta while playing using bluetooth. The stick drift imho is a whole other affair. My first Raiju Ultimate had it. I went through RMA and my second Raiju Ultimate did not have it from the beginning, with 1.00 firmware. It did not change over 1.01 beta and 1.02 beta. So from my experience this may as well be a hardware issue. If you are luckly and get a good pad you wont experience it and the firmware might just help with the lag and with some of the wire problems, like hairtriggers not working while playing wired. And think about it: If it's a software problem, why is it so hard to fix? It should be easy to maintain a level of uniformity with software. But if it's a hardware issue this would be much harder to fix. No

Okay, I see. What I wonder though is...when the software is faulty, how come there are controllers that don't have stick drift at all. Is there a variance in the software?

For the love of god Razer, make this software work offline!

Thanks for the clarification. It always seemed to me as if, when profiles "vanish" or Synapse temporarily forgets the games I set up within the profiles, it re-syncs with the cloud to get them back, thus I thought the cloud would be the issue here. Well, there's been an update today, I will see if this behavior persists. I guess the "beta feedback" functionality within the Synapse software also reaches out to customer support, or do I have to start a ticket on your website?

Please just stop. On the one hand this thread was meant to talk about the software, not about religion. On the other hand I haven't had an issue since the last update, so this might be resolved (and could be closed to stop this pointless diuscussion *hint hint*).

masterblaster@Steph6n It has nothing to do with being Christian. Why does mentioning God mean I am Christian? You need to bone up on theology. And I agree religion shouldn't be a part of these forums. I didn't start it. I didn't start it either. I used a common expression in the daily communication using verbal speech between human beings. Get over it or I'll report you for deliberately derailing this thread.
