Razer Ultimate Blackwidow up arrow key is malfunctioning

I have a Razer Ultimate Blackwidow keyboard with fully updated drivers and firmware. All of a sudden today (no spills or anything), anytime in a text document I press the up arrow key, it either skips several spaces, ignores my button press entirely, or goes up 1 space. Seemingly completely random. The down arrow key works perfectly, as do the other keys all over the keyboard (I've exhaustedly tested most keys). No idea what the heck changed, or why this is happening.

This is going to sound really stupid, but if I was just having the exact same problem as you. I launched the Razer Synapse 2.0 program and save that my up key had a macro that did nothing. Once I changed that back to the default single up key function, it seems to be working fine.

My macally keyboard doesn't stay on even when fully charged

There are a few potential reasons why your Macally keyboard is not staying on even when fully charged:
  1. Battery issues: The battery in the keyboard may be faulty or malfunctioning. It's possible that the battery is not holding a charge or is not working properly.
  2. Power management settings: Check your keyboard's power management settings and make sure that it is set to stay on when fully charged. Some keyboards have a sleep mode that turns off the keyboard when not in use to conserve power.
  3. Connectivity issues: Make sure that the keyboard is properly connected to your computer. Also check if the keyboard works with other devices.
  4. Firmware update: Make sure you have the latest firmware update for your keyboard. Sometimes an update can fix any bugs that cause the keyboard to turn off when it's fully charged.
  5. Damaged charging port: The charging port of the keyboard may be damaged and not able to charge the battery.
It's recommended to contact the manufacturer's customer support team, they will be able to assist you in diagnosing the problem and provide a solution. If the keyboard is still under warranty, you may be able to get it repaired or replaced for free.

Why did my enter key suddenly no longer function as to enter, when pressed it brings up a toolbar instead of taking to the next line?

your keyboard utilizes keys F1-F10 as re-programmable function keys.to change your current pofile press the razer lycosa logo+functon key(f1-f10) or you can reset your keyboard to factory default settings by pressing the "Razer Logo" button for 15 seconds while the Razer Lycosa is connected to a powered on computer. NB: ALL CONFIGURATION SETTINGS WILL BE LOST WHEN YOU RESET THE RAZER LYCOSA
TO FACTORY DEFAULT SETTINGS. ALL CONFIGURATION SETTINGS WILL NEED TO BE
RE-ENTERED OR LOADED FROM THE CONTROL PANEL AFTER THE RAZER LYCOSA IS RESET.

Razer Mamba Problem

I had this same issue when the software hung. I thought my mouse was dead(no lights, no response when plugged in on my Vista machine). The way I solved it was to goto my XP machine(this may work in Vista 32bit too but I have 64bit and didn't wanna chance it) and install the firmware update software.

After installing the software, run it and get to the screen that tells you to hold down the pairing button when connecting the mouse. Then make SURE your mouse is turned OFF via the ON/OFF switch on the bottom, then HOLD the pairing button on the bottom of the mouse and connect the USB cable. When you do this, you should see a note that XP sees a bootloader and it will want to install a driver for it. Let XP install automatically. When it is done installing the driver, click next on the software screen and it should say it sees the mouse and the UPDATE button should be green. Click it and it will update. This should work, even if it looks like your mouse is dead(no lights when plugged in and not being recognized properly).

The key parts are make sure the mouse is OFF(vai the switch on the bottom) before starting and also make sure you hold the pairing button down when connecting the USB cable. If your system doesn't see a bootloader when you connect the mouse, the update won't work properly.
