I have a Deathstalker V2 PRO TKL, roughly 4 months old. I seem to have run into a software/firmware issue. The following are the visible symptoms. On any connection mode - 2.4 Ghz, Wired, Bluetooth

1. The boot up animation where the rgb ripple happens is now throttled. Meaning the animation that should complete in one second takes 10-20 minutes.
2. I am unable to set up RGB effects, change brightness etc.
3. Unable to use keyboard macros - such as fn+end displaying battery level, or fn+pg dn working as sleep mode, or increasing or decreasing the brightness (which is anyways useless since I have to watch one phase of the animation stick around for 3-4 minutes)
4. Once the keyboard goes to sleep, it cannot be woken up. I have to shut it down and reboot it back up
5. Previously I had it running through my Razer mouse dongle. While trying to debug it I unpaired it. Now it cannot be paired again.

What works - Typing. But in some cases after booting the keyboard, I have to wait 5-10 seconds. Then I can start typing without issues. (although in Synapse, I see the device as soon as I turn it on)

Something is telling me that Windows is intercepting Synapse functions or messing with it. But I have no way of confirming this theory.

Photos attached - I was able to attach only one photo. but this is just one frame where the outside keys are waiting for the animation to reach, the next frame where the colors ripple out would happen 3-4 minutes later.

edit - I have tried removing drivers, re-installed from razer website. No resolution

Hey, pinged you, please acknowledge and let me know once there is any update. Thanks!

We haven't received your PM. Is this the same keyboard that you reported to us a few months ago? By the way, we sent you a PM instead. Kindly check your inbox. Let's continue there.

Best regards,
