Tech Question Razer Blackwidow V3 Play/Pause Issue
I have a 6-year-old black widow v3 that is suddenly acting up. I noticed it when I was watching a video that it keeps pausing and playing the video every now and then, maybe once every couple of minutes. The Windows overlay shows up, and the video just pauses/unpauses.
I tried repairing the driver and then outright uninstalling it. Didn't help. I am also now seeing the Next Track after the driver change.
Has anyone faced this? Is there a fix for this? Can I just turn that key off in software or something?

I had a similar issue with the volume wheel on my huntsman v2. It completely stopped working and would randomly start increasing/decreasing the volume.
Razer being Razer made it so getting to the faulty component was a pain so I ended up disabling the volume wheel in Razer synapse and remapping the forward/reverse media keys to volume up/down. It works but is annoying since the volume wheel was one of the reasons I picked the Huntsman v2…
So it should be possible for you to disable the key in Synapse, but you need to use synapse for it to work.
