Eight around the keyboard assembly, and two that hold the cable clamp in place. We got about another ten screws to remove. As long as his keys are fully functional.

Thankfully this is a free repair and I donвЂ™t think that kid is really going to care about a hairline fracture on the side of his board. This makes these keyboards much harder to service and keep going for years to come. This is actually poor engineering on RazerвЂ™s behalf because even though I understand why the plastics clips exist which is to pass certain FCC testing. If you pry too hard on one side or start to use tools, youвЂ™ll get damage like you see above. With enough time and effort, you can pry these clips apart using your fingers. I screwed up! Razer uses two interlocking plastic clips on each side of the keyboard. This is the most annoying part of the disassembly procedure because as you can see.

You can now remove the six plastic tapping screws on the bottom of the keyboard. Be gentle as you pry up on this as the latches can break easily. Using a box cutter of knife you can undo the two plastic clips that guard the upper two screws on this keyboard. Start slow so you can keep the adhesive material on the pad so you can re-use them once we are done assembling. Start by flipping the keyboard and removing the four pads in the corners with your fingers.

Magnifying glass because some SMD components are really flipping tiny.Дisassembly of the Razer Blackwidow 2014 keyboard.

Braid is only used for clean-up after the component is removed. Do not use solder braid on your keyboard.

Solder sucker (this is very important.

Curve or pointed tip for working on finer components like SMD mounted chips.

Soldering Iron (30-40 watts should be fine).

Multi-meter with a continuity tester which is useful to checking the mechanical switches and tracing leads.

(nice to have for extracting keycaps for cleaning and replacement. To open the keyboard you will need the following: Well, only one thing to do, lets tear this apart. and the lights are all operational as you can see in the video above but when switching to reactive mode вЂњ0вЂќ and вЂњ.вЂќ never fired. When pressing on the keys I can hear the click of Razers mechanical switches. All of the RGB lights including the вЂњ0вЂќ and вЂњ.вЂќ on the numeric pad were operational. Who are we to judge right? :D All keys on this keyboard were fully operational except for the вЂњ0вЂќ key and the вЂњ.вЂќ key on the numeric keypad. Apparently he plays lots of вЂњaccounting of the deadвЂќ and вЂњMinecraftвЂќ which obviously requires a $150+ dollar keyboard in order to do it right. We received a Razer BlackWidow Chroma 2014 edition keyboard from one of our friends which said that this was their kids keyboard.

Optical switches don't make much difference for me and as mentioned above analog is useless./core/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Razer-Key-Test-Fail.webmДЄs you can probably see in the videos that weвЂ™ve attached above. If those were implemented on the black widow line I would switch back to the black widow. I'll be honest I liked the huntsman because of the lighting, the wrist rest, and the dial wheel. Both are a hassle and negate the purpose of having the keyboard out and ready to use for games that support analog.

A workaround for this is to either unplug the huntsman or disable the driver that treats it as a controller. 2k is a prime example, it will let you go through menus on controller but won't let you actually move in game with a controller.

Games that only support one controller will not work with the keyboard plugged in while trying to play on an actual controller.

Or don't use it because of the next item: It's also not advertised by the game so ultimately I forget about it and don't use it.

Razer software doesn't lighten that load at all. The games that support it make it annoying to have to rebind. Ive never really used the analog features.Happens about once a day, occasionally in message chats where it just sends that nonsense. Occassionally when I type, it will randomly insert whatever the last 20 or so characters I just typed were and then hit enter.Sticky keys in games that apparently support analog > things like strafing where I let up but the character continues to move in that direction and is only fixed by pressing that button again.
