I have absolutely no idea, other than reading reports of people having a working keyboard until the Windows software updated the firmware. The website says: "Razer Synapse 2.0 downloads driver and firmware updates for your Razer devices automatically, so your products are always in optimum condition for winning."

Maybe try re-programming it? Sorry. I know naaathing. For some reason it also registers as a mouse, just as my new Logitech mouse also thinks it's a keyboard. Before running the Python script I mentioned earlier, some keys don't send any events at all. AFAIK the script sends some sort of initialization sequence that enables them. If you can tell me how to find out in a way that doesn't involve ripping the keyboard apart, I'd be happy to tell you. Petter -- "I'm ionized" "Are you sure?" "I'm positive."
