Try removing the keycaps and cleaning the switches out? If that doesn't work, the switches are likely defective.

Edited for clarity. Reading my mind is harder than my post.

Got any small children, animals, siblings, parents, spouses, or other household pests around that might have spilled something on/in it?

Has the cord been rolled over by a chair? Tried using a USB/PS2 adapter to plug it into PS2 instead of USB? Different USB port? Rebooting? Checking for Drivers?

Tried rebooting. No good. I really try to take care of my gear so it don't think it's damaged. I might have to check the drivers though

If it was ANY other Razer keyboard, I'd tell you the issue is best solved with a hammer, a computer supply store, and a Visa card, but the Blackwidow, overall, seems to be at least passable, even though it isn't on par with the highest end mechanical keyboards.

I've had a similar problem to this, where pressing one key will make it spam a whole bunch of other keys. I just uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers, re-booted, and it was fine.

Can you type out "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" without deleting any extra characters that the keyboard inserts and post it in this thread? I'm not sure how this can help solve your problem but it will at least be entertaining.

dont listen to any of the kids telling you to remove keycaps and clean the switch, check the drivers, the same thing was happening to me. you need to remove the macros that are placed onto the keys.

I completely agree with this assessment.


Bought myself a Lycosa about a year ago. Any key on any given day would stop working, or randomly spam, then stop working. The touchpad was a nightmare and would randomly cause my playlist to cycle infinitely.

Send it back, got a replacement. Same problems. The keyboard was so light and flimsy it wasn't surprising at all.

Recently got myself a Das Keyboard and will never go back. I hear the Blackwidow is at least a tad bit better. Most of my problems were solved by unplugging and replugging the keyboard in. However, this is of course extremely annoying to have to do over and over again.

try uninstalling the drivers and using it without the drivers. i'd be willing to bet that the macro key software is malfunctioning in some way or another.
