So my blackwidow ultimate just randomly starts sending key strokes to my computer in the form of macros that I never assigned without prompt. I was just staring at my diablo III auctions and all of the sudden it started minimizing, closing windows, etc without me typing. attempting to type makes things worse as it executes more macros. I change the profile of the blackwidow in the software config and all problems stop for a bit, then it picks up again at a random time. It seems to be software related and an issue with the macro functions. I've reformated my computer and it still does it. Has anyone else had this issue? The red M on the keyboard will randomly light up without me hitting it I've noticed as well. I'm starting to get really frustrated with razer. First their razer mamba 2012 just randomly stops tracking right half the time and now their keyboard just starts mashing keys without prompt. It also locks me out of actually typing and certain keys only trigger the toolstrip bars of applications (such as highlighting the file menu, etc). Is razer just a crappy company all of the sudden? Their products use to always work without fail for me.

Well, it's not exactly "all of a sudden", their keyboards have always been subpar :/

Ya know - with all of the products they have, even multiple products in the same market - one would think a non-biased review would have come across here once or twice. But TBH I dont remember even seeing one. I have no use for their products so I cant answer towards the quality - but the problem you're experiencing would drive me insane.

Yeah, the other day it just decided to mash the s key. I unplugged the keyboard 3 times and it still did it until I left it unplugged for 10 minutes. I don't eat over my keyboard, it's nice and clean. I don't abuse it either and it doesn't move. I don't see why it has all of these issues. For $129.99 you'd think a keyboard would work better then a $15 one you can pick up at Walmart.

I had this once on mine, remove all software and drivers for it and reinstall the latest razer synapse software if you just got it the software in the box may be out of date. As for mashing yer had that but my enter key was weird when I got it not too much of a problem normally.
