Core X Chroma and USB Power plus Thunderbolt Connection Port Question

Hi All, It has been awhile since I stopped by. I currently have a Core X but have been jealously eyeing the Core X Chroma because of its USB ports. My setup has gotten kind of messy of late and I'm trying to clean things up a little bit. I just have a few questions about it before I decide to upgrade, I've searched high and low and can't seem to get a definitive answer so I am hoping someone with the device can help. 1) Has the Thunderbolt port been fixed? On my Core X, if the Thunderbolt cable moves even the slightest bit, everything disconnects. On inspection it seems this is due to the plastic on the cable that surrounds the thunderbolt connection not sitting flush against the port surface, allowing tons of wiggle. I don't know if they could have set the port back a little further and put a cut out in the case to stabilize the cable or what, but it's LOOSE. It has even gotten worse over time and is becoming frustrating. Razer has already told me I'm out of warranty b

Windows 10 Device Connect/Disconnect Sound Playing Repeatedly

The title explains it. Here are the details: Blade Stealth 2019 model. When I first boot up, everything is fine. After a few minutes of use and being logged in to Windows 10 the device connect and disconnect sounds starts to play in a near loop for at least a few minutes (incredibly annoying). It seems to be magnified by moving the mouse or using the keyboard (both Logitech devices on the Unifying Receiver). However, neither device stops working or stutters during that time. If I open device manager, the list is refreshing over and over while this is occurring. Eventually, Windows either gets tired or the problem sorts itself out because it'll just stop. I have tried USBDeview and it has not revealed any USB devices that are connecting and disconnecting beyond the startup so I imagine it has to be something else. I have tried the Power Troubleshooter, which found no issues, and have researched the heck out of this on many forums and pages and not yet found anything that wor

BIOS Update - Razer Blade Stealth 2019

I was curious to know what the point of the BIOS 1.02 is? I presently have 1.01 installed from the factory. Is it worth it? Does it unleash the processor a bit more or does it complicate things? Anyone know? Since I have an RTX 2080 in my Core X, I'd like to make sure I'm maximizing this processor's abilities (yes, I know that it's a "U" processor). I have already installed the EC 1.01 update, as when I connected my Core X I was told it was needed. I see that it added Creator Mode to the Synapse Software. I'm not sure if this really does much but I am able to run Ghost Recon Wildlands on Ultra settings and get about 30-40 FPS. I'm not really up to date on modern techno babble but that seems pretty good for an ultrabook.

Thunderbolt 3 Dock

Hi All, First time Razer owner here, just bought the new Razer Blade Stealth 2019 4K model. Like the laptop quite a bit, however, I have a bit of a dilemma. I am trying to find a dock that is Thunderbolt 3 compatible which (preferably) HDMI out, some USB 3.0 or 3.1 Type A ports, and ideally the ability to charge the laptop. I tried a Dell D6000, but it wouldn't charge the laptop, and the display switching was atrocious (huge lag of up to 15 seconds when I would close the lid to limit graphics to just the external monitor). Yes, I had the most recent updates from DisplayLink and the Firmware on the device was up to date. I am sending that back. So I am here to find alternatives. I do not consider myself much of a gamer (at least not at the moment, Flight Sim X and some Golf are about my speed) and so I am not convinced I need or want the Core V2 (especially at an additional cost of another about 1000.00 and the space required). If that is truly the only viable option,

Best Mouse Mat or Mousepad for Uneven Surface

My "desk" (kitchen table) has fold out leaves which increase the available surface area, which has been necessary for using it as my "desk." The problem is the leaves are uneven with the main table surface, which causes my mouse to catch on the gap CONSTANTLY. So I need some kind of a mousepad to bridge the gap and get a smooth surface back. The total mouse area I have available is about 6.5"(W) x 8"(H). Alternatively, if get something the keyboard can rest on as well, I can sustain about 26"(W) x 8-9"(H) (anything more would destabilize the Chroma Laptop Stand). If I put the entire stand on the mat, I can handle about 31"(W) x 16"(H). Any ideas? I thought about one of those gaming mats but am concerned the cloth won't be enough to address the edge and i'll be left with the same problem and a fancy mat. Your recommendations, please! Thanks!
