Volume wheel for Blackwidow V3 Pro not working properly


Hi everyone, 

I am hoping that someone has already run into this issue. I have a Blackwidow V3 Pro keyboard connected via cable to a Windows 11 Pro laptop. When I try to use the wheel to adjust volume up or down, I can rotate the wheel several times without any affect. When I push down to mute audio it works fine. I am on the latest version of the firmware, so I am kind of stuck on what to try next...

Did this topic help you find an answer to your question?

Same here, with the difference being that my volume wheel doesn’t work at all when unplugged. Win 11 desktop with the latest Synapse. Edit: Going in and out of “Demo Mode” seems to have done the trick for me:

  1. Switch the keyboard off.

  2. Unplug the USB cable.

  3. Press and hold “Escape”, “Caps Lock”, and the space bar.

  4. Plug the keyboard into a USB port or switch it on. (You are now in Demo Mode.)

  5. Repeat

I went through the steps a couple of times, but no real change.. When the keyboard is plugged in via USB, the power switch is set to off.

I tried following these steps but no change. Interestingly enough if I set both clockwise and counter-clockwise to volume up or volume down the keyboard works perfectly fine.

Just Clean the contacts and it will work properly again! (contact cleaner or air!)

Sometimes it helpes to spin the wheel as fast as u can in both directions (worked 4 me several times).

Does this also work with the BlackWidow Elite?
