Blackwidow Elite Keyboard Problem: Input Holds

I have a similar problem. I believe it randomly occurs after using the Ctrl key since I often find it happening after doing a cut and paste shortcut (ctrl+c, ctrl+v) or when doing the find shortcut (ctrl+f). The following key pressed will sometimes "stick" and will continue to input that key until another key is pressed.

Hey DPTShingles! Thanks for creating this thread. Does the issue happen while the device is connected to a different USB port? Ensure to connect it directly to our computer's port and not through a USB hub. Please replicate the issue by disabling or closing Razer Synapse 3.0. Should the issue persists, please reset the keyboard in your Razer Synapse 3.0 settings and see if it helps.

Hi @VirtualMirage. Please let me know your keyboard's progress too.

How do you go about resetting the keyboard within Synapse 3.0?

Aside from my lighting profile, I don't have any customizations set on the keyboard and I don't have any macro keys configured.

Also, this isn't something that is easily repeatable but I do know the keystrokes that I use. It just happened a few minutes ago when I tried to use Ctrl+c to copy an item. It then proceeded to overwrite what I was copying with a non-stop input of 'c' until another key was pressed.

I also had an instance earlier this morning when working where the Shift key somehow decided to stick and I was unable to right click anything in the window and everywhere I moved my mouse it would try and select/highlight. Unfortunately, this instance wouldn't stop after a key press. I was about to kill the Synapse app to see if it would release the Shift key but I noticed there was a new update available, 3.5.1215.121019. I decided to let the update install, which it did stop the stuck Shift key when it restarted the Synapse application. But even with this latest version, I still experience the random "sticking" key, as mentioned with the Ctrl+c incident above.

I would like to add that I have the following Razer devices currently installed and in use on my machine that are all showing up in Synapse:

Razer Mouse Dock Chroma
Razer Base Station Chroma
Razer Firefly V2
Razer Basilisk Ultimate
Razer Blackwidow Elite
Razer Kraken Ultimate

Thanks for updating this thread. I'm glad that the continuous keypress was resolved by the Razer Synapse update. Please check if the key sticking issue happens while the keyboard is connected to a different USB port or while the Razer Synapse 3.0 is disabled by following the steps here. By the way, please check the reset option in Razer Synapse 3.0 from the screenshot below:

I don't know if it killing the service to apply an update, which stopped the stuck key for that particular instance, would be called resolving the issue since I don't believe it completely or permanently resolved the main problem.

I have tried different USB ports before with no difference. The keyboard and its secondary USB cable are both plugged directly into the USB ports on the rear motherboard panel. I am not using an aftermarket USB controller and my motherboard doesn't have any 3rd party USB controllers added to it. All USB controllers are coming from the CPU (AMD Ryzen 9 3900XT) and the motherboard chipset (AMD X570).

When I get a chance, I will try the keyboard reset and see if the problem returns afterwards.
