Hi, I have a Razer Tarantula keyboard i have had it in a year now and never had this problem but now the mic input does not work any more. Well my program shows the mic is in but no other programs/games will allow it like skype it does not activate the mic even if i yell in it it still won't activate the mic. Please help

after i checked the preferences in winamp i found out my hotkeys were not enabled so thats why they were not working. So if you have the same problem go to preferences -Global hotkeys and check the 2nd box

I would check your Shift keys and see if they are sticking. Try pulling up on them. If you determine that they are the problem, you might need to disassemble the keyboard and clean the keys. Good luck!

Don't wanna sign-up. Exit HotTadpole.

Make sure you have the usb keyboard option enabled in your bios

Good luck

Hello , maybe your W button is out of work pf bad use, so its time to change your keyboard ^^

there seems to be alot of firmware issues with alot of razors products at the moment, use another keyboard for the minute and navigate to their site, downgrade your firmware to the one that worked. or alternatively restore your computer to a restore date that occured before you installed the new firmware/drivers.

hope this helps

check to see if the "Fn" button is stuck down, it sounds like the keystrokes you are describing are some shortcut keys to provide adjusting functions for the laptop facilities. Turn off the laptop, disconnect the power adaptor, disconnect mouse etc... and pick up the laptop and give it a gentle tap from behind the machine, and also go through all of the keys and try to press them and you may find one or more are stuck down (in particular the Fn key or similar).

Well i started having the problem with the letter 'B' so what i did was i took the key out and i placed a small square bit of tissue paper under the key now it works fine....... although this shouldnt happen with such an expensive keyboard. Im never buying a razer product again.

i tried to install the same keyboard and im having the exactly the same problem. i had a saitek eclipse before and it worked perfect. but now nither works and i uninstalled my mouse on accident as well so now im totally screwed

You must enable USB Keyboard in your BIOS.. and Turn OFF PS/2 detect if it has it. Have a look in the BIOS and see if there is any entries for USB etc... What you need to do is, boot up & then install the correct "Drivers" for your Keyboard from the CD etc that came with ya KB, then reboot and after reboot insert ya keyboard.. if it asks for drivers point it to them, on CD etc. THEN after next and subsequent boots it should be OK. I had a squiz on "Google' but didn't find any drivers? :(
