    EDIT:

    Does anybody else have issues with their keyboard typing too fast? Sometimes some keys doesn't simply show up when I write too fast.

    Hey,

    Does anybody else have issues with the keyboard? I have to hit the keys really hard for the letter to work. Same goes with the mouse button: it simply doesn't work sometimes.

    Another issue that keyboard keys seems to get stuck (although I can't see it) and the letters repeat itself a lot.

    Thanks

    Sounds like your keyboard has a defect! I'd ask for a repair/RMA from Razer.

    I agree with Ellyidol, have had no such issues with my RBP

    Thanks for your reply guys. You have absolutely no issue with the keyboard/mouse buttons? Does the keyboard sometimes crash (Synapse crashing and restarting the whole keyboard/mouse pad)?

    I managed to fix the first issue with left button click freezing! Does anybody else have to hit a bit harder than usual the keys of the keyboard so it works?

    No issues at all on my side to compare with yours, sadly. Is it a physical problem (keys literally hard to press or seem too 'soft' as if not connected) or a software problem (where it just doesn't detect)? Haven't had issues with the SBUI in terms of sensitivity either.

    (Really sorry for dredging up an older post.)

    I actually found this thread from googling the Razer Blade keyboard after setting mine up today. I have this exact issue. I have found that when I type I have a tendency to 1) press very lightly, and 2) tap the edges/corners of keys instead of the center of a key. The Blade keyboard works fine for me if I take care to hit each key dead center. This massively reduces my typing speed. I'm able to very consistently reproduce the missed keystroke issue if I type the way I usually do, by pressing on the edges of a key.

    I don't type using the home row. My WPM on my previous (ASUS) laptop was 112 with no errors.

    Highly disappointed, may have to look into getting a separate USB keyboard. I assume this is more of an issue of incompatibility with my typing style, and not a keyboard defect.

    I agree those two facts combined make the keyboard skip some keystrokes. Just for advice, if you install linux this problem becames horrible because the USB 3.0 linux driver cannot handle the high performance features of the keyboard. One way to fix it is to recompile a linux kernel without the kernel module USB 3.0 (xhci_hcd) and modify usb 2.0 to sample every 1ms to match the 1000Hz frequency of the razer antighosting keyboard. After this, the keyboard actually works even better than in windows, you can type damn fast.
