Hi everyone,

I've got a REALLY annoying issue which i need to fix basically I'm really into my gaming, I bought a razer Black Widow 2014 keyboard, I love the keyboard but from some reason i cannot press control (ctrl) and ANY of the top row of numbers, which means I'm lucked out in game if i want to crouch and switch to another weapon, this is in and out of game, so far i have had the keyboard replaced, I have re-installed windows (after this it worked) and now all of a sudden its doing the same thing, this keyboard has 10 presses at a time feature so it cant be hardware limitations especially as it worked before. could this be due to a windows update? as it worked when i first re-installed my OS (windows 7)

Sounds like the board is dodgy or it could be the connector. Re plug it, the 10 key rollover is only on ps2, not usb. That board uses chinese khail switches and is just inferior to other mechanical boards. If re plugging doesnt work test with another keyboard to see if that board wont work. If it does return your board

Ah thank you for that ps2 information. I might have ps2 socket on my mobo with a bit of luck and i'll use an adapter, I'm pretty sure the switch are mx cherry (reds i think?) in the 2014 black widow version? the annoying thing is im going to be walking back into the shop for ANOTHER replacement, but I have the same issue on my PC and my laptop, I have also tried a different usb socket as my motherboard have 2 manufactures, 4 of them are via (yuck) the other 4 are intel which I primarily use for mouse and keyboard.

I have tried other keyboards with no issue.

No the 2014 model has the new "razer" switches that are made in china. Is it clicky or non clicky?

yes so its the khail blue one (switches are green tho), reds are not clicky. Test with another board and see if it works. Are you sure you havent just messed up your keybinds in your games

no this is in and out of game, I have now replaced the keyboard twice reinstalled synapse, tried an older version of synapse, reinstalled OS and im starting to lose patience, the only thing is I dont want to get rid of this keyboard, I actually like it I just want to solve this problem.
