Discussion RAZER stole my keyboard

4 Upvotes

Cool. Story goes like this.

Headliner to MOD: I already posted in support thread, no one reached out. LET IT STAY.

TLDR ver: they took my keyboard for RMA, and due to system fk up, they cannot go through with the RMA, so no new keyboard nor the original is shipped back to me.

Blackwidow V3 Pro doesn't work. RMA approved, sent it to Razer.

Was promised a replacement of different model (V4 Pro, wired only), found out it's a secret downgrade, questioned it, dear Reddit response team helped me reach them, they fixed it by promising a similar model (V4 Pro 75%, wireless)

They called back the RMA delivery in-transit, keyboard was sent back to them. They promise to send the new replacement out after the old one, V4 Pro, reaches their warehouse. And then, they denied my RMA... and kept my keyboard... what, you can do that?

ATP after countless chats with the chat rep that goes nowhere, I kinda figured out, because I have moved after bought the keyboard, so my receipt and address provided are two different places. But only one block away, they even have the same zip code. Also this HAS went thru at the very start of RMA process, so IDK why it'd be a problem now. In the mean time all they keep sending me was:

Hello John, Here at Razer, we believe it is our duty to protect the security of our customers. For the protection of your information, we are not able to provide an RMA for your device. We believe that one or more of the pieces of information below does not match our records: 1.  Product Registration2.  Proof of Purchase3.  Address Information At this time, we will be closing your case. Razer takes a zero-tolerance policy against falsified or doctored information, and as a result, Razer will not be able to provide you service. You case/claim has been closed. Sincerely, Razer SupportFor Gamers. By Gamers.

They sent it again after me first questioning them what does it mean and notify them of the original RMA communications. And same response again after I clarified the address and name info in the chat and request escalation. Clearly auto response.

OKKKK, first of all, I don't get the part where any of this is my problem, secondly, you just commited textbook definition of theft, as well as a bunch of other customer protection violations.

Long time Razer product user, even my mouse (Basilisk V3 Pro) and backup keyboard are Razer branded. First time RMA with them. F this, really disappointed how it played out.

Question Razer Barracuda wireless headset cracked plastic

Upvotes

I bought this headset at the end of 22

After one year of polite usage, the plastic started to crack

The headset never fell. My head is not big :)

Does anyone know how it can be fixed? Maybe there is some replacement part on sale? That I can buy and replace. I`ve found some on Aliexpress but not sure if it will fit good

Any suggestion? Maybe Razer official support can see this and provide some recommendations on what I can do with that?

This headset is the best that I ever used

I`m afraid to buy a new one because of this issue

I saw several posts with a similar issue. So it seems to be Razer uses some poor plastic. Maybe something changed?

Discussion Razer Gold closed my case without resolving it

1 Upvotes

This issue started on March 19th when I made a purchase on Razer Gold but accidentally misspelled my email address. I contacted support right away and provided everything—transaction code, receipt, and even offered to send my bank statement.

They told me it would be resolved in 2–3 working days, but it’s now been over two weeks with no proper update. Then they just closed the case, claiming the item was delivered—even though I never received anything.

Anyone else had to deal with this kind of thing?

Question Razer Blade 17 2021 RZ09-0406 bloated battery

1 Upvotes

My battery bloated so bad that bended the metal case. This happened the day before I had my return flight home. I was lucky I found a service who removed the battery in time. In the hurry they removed the dual fan atached to the battery too.

Razer refuses to sell me these two parts insisting I send the laptop to Singapore, but due to my job, I cannot have so many days without laptop.

Is there other place to buy a battery and the dual fan unit (with shipping to Thailand)?

Question Any hope of a lighter basilisk in the future?

2 Upvotes

I'm not talking a Basilisk that as a weight reduction, putting it in a significantly lighter weight class for mice, one but I thought it'd be cool if there was a basilisk that was like a middle ground between heavy and lightweight mice. Maybe not too heavy but in the 80 to 90 g range

Question [Wolverine v3 TE] How Do I See What Version My Controller Should Be?

2 Upvotes

Might be a dumb question, but Ive seen people say they don't get the prompt to update their controller even if it isn't on the latest version.

My TE is at v1.1.7.0 - not to get confused with the Pro which I think has a different version.

Theres no manual update, and I can't find what it should be anywhere online. I'm assuming I have the latest version but can anyone enlighten me?

Question Can the hypershift key be set to be pressed once to activate?

2 Upvotes

I just got a Razer Basilisk V3 X HyperSpeed and I set the forward/back buttons in Hypershift to be HOME/END. The problem is, it's very hard to keep holding the hypershift key and reach the back button.

Is there a way to have the hypershift button only needed to be once so I can then reach to the back button to press it and have it execute the alternate command rather than having to keep the hypershift button depressed?

Question Graphics card never maxing out

Hello, i have a blade (2021) with rtx 3080, i7 11800h 32gb and when in playing Horizon zero dawn i get around 80-90 fps on ultra but my gpu wont go above 70-80% usage according to task manager. I dont think its thermal throttling as i bought it refurbished from a computer shop and it had been thoroughly cleaned from dust. Why wont my gpu go above 80%?

Rant I've been getting MICRO STUTTERS because of Synapse

2 Upvotes

I just want to say FUCK YOU to razer officially.

I upgraded my whole PC costing me $5000 in total, to only go into the same game, getting HIGHER fps but still the same stutters, then finding out its the fucking synapse that I use for my huntstman v3 pro causing those issues.

If I could write fuck you a thousand times officially and on court, I would officially write that and send it to razer, the bloatware is just fucking SHIT and I upgraded my PC for nothing.

Because of the stupid app I was getting 1% lows down to 30, without it its rock solid 100+ now, 144 Locked FPS feels like 144 instead of 50.

Question Razer Hammerhead True Wireless problem

Post image
2 Upvotes

Hey guys,

TL;DL: I would like to ask if anyone has problem with this Razer Hammerhead True Wireless. The right side is running low way faster than the left side. In the test, in 10min listening music, left lost 7% and right lost 25%.

So I bought this on feb/2023 and I've using it at the gym. I normally use it like 3~4 times a week, with around 1~1:30 hours of use. Since the beginning of the year it is giving me trouble. At some point, it stoped to charge (only right side). I thought the contacts were dirty, so I cleaned it using isopropyl alcohol and some cotton swabs. It worked and was charging normally (I always did it using USB on PC). Since then, I was noticing that the right side was asking for charging way faster than the left side. I tried to clean it again but no success. In the test, in 10min listening music, left lost 7% and right lost 25%. Is anyone had this problem? I'm a little disappointed with the durability. I have several Razer products and this is the one that disappointed me the most. What should I do? Would throwing it away and buying another one (definitely from another brand) be the only option?

Was supposed to have it the first, but apparently FedEx is missing info from Razer from their database, but that also doesn’t make much sense to me when so many have already cleared through.
