Hey guys!
I have had to recently send in my first Razer marauder because a few keys stopped functioning on them. Mainly E, R, H, and N. They gave me flawless support and even sent me a brand new keyboard in exchange for that one. +1 for you Razer. 2 days after using the new marauder I received, my enter key is doing something I've never experienced before. I pulled up my on screen keyboard to see what was going on with my keystrokes. And when i pressed enter on my Marauder, the Shift + Ctrl key would be registered as locked. And i would have to press each of those 2 keys individually to make it stop. If i don't do that, the keyboard will not type at all, after that all is good until i press enter again. However the Enter key on my Keypad to the right, functions perfectly normal.
This is where I get completely confused...
I updated both the driver and firmware to the keyboard, i have switched the USB slots it was plugged into, i have restarted my computer. Nothing fixed the issue. Now i plugged the SAME keyboard into my second computer, and it worked absolutely flawless. So there's the problem right? My computer is messed up correct? That's what i thought too...
I plugged a completely different. normal everyday microsoft keyboard into the same computer that was having the issue before, and every key on it works perfectly fine. I am very much confused as well as a little fed up one could say. Has anyone ever seen something so odd? Or atleast know a solution for me?
Thank you!

maybe you recorded a macro and are playing it back?

Welcome to owning a non-mech Razer keyboard. Hell on earth. You'll continue to have random trouble, ranging from build quality issues, to firmware, to drivers, to configuration software, until the day that you get pissed off, run it over with a car, exorcise the shattered bits, and throw them into a sewer.
I hated my experience with a Lycosa, which, theoretically, was outside the range of S/N's to have all the trouble I had. I now swear by mechanical, with no fancy extraneous features that I won't really use anyways.

Sucks that you had issues with your Lycosa; like you, I'm now a mechanical convert, but my Lycosa was a joy while I used it.
As for the OP, it's strange that the keyboard works perfect on another computer, and yet a normal keyboard is fine for both.
First, I know you said you tried different USB ports, but have you tried a USB-to-PS/2 connector? Also, you said you updated the driver and the firmware, but did you completely remove the driver first? In my support experience, it's always good to clear it once or twice before you freshly install the latest driver and/or firmware to be sure that it's not the issue.

Well i thought this was an obvious question, but impossible because i did NOT ever open the Sc2 driver...
Anyways i opened the config and was checking stuff out and getting familiar with it, and i noticed when i scrolled over the enter key on the layout, some weird functions were off on it. So i just made sure it was set to default, and it was fixed. I think Driver software 1.02/Firmware 1.02 are faulty and are in need of a patch because it switched on its own. Unless i opened the program for the first time in my sleep and clicked it by mistake :S.
Anyways THANK YOU ALL!!! for helping me solve this and trying to not actually do what that one guy said and run it over lol...
Take care!

Jackel, I own the same keyboard, and if you by chance hit Fn + Alt ever, it will auto record a macro, even if you don't open up the Config for the computer. Might have been the issue.

Glad you fixed it. Now you know that the razer keyboards have macro funtionality hardware sided. I've known like 5 or 6 people who have run into this same problem and returned their keyboard only for me to tell them they're an idiot and to open the drivers and reset the profile. Try disabling the right alt key in the drivers so it wont ever happen again.
