It seems like any key is affected, no particular one

Shit out of luck. Your controller = busted.

Your only options:
1. Buy alternative controller. Expensive, hard to guarantee success (personally have never gone this route, so I can't testify), and very tricky to install.
2. Scrap it. Salvage switches and LEDs, throw away board. Depending on switches' age and type, might be worth keeping.
3. Keep it as souvenir.
4. There is no option four.

I'd choose option 2 IMO.

From your justification, seems you bought lighting rather than a keyboard since you never mention the typing feel at all. laugh.gif
Well, Razer marketing is strong. Even many green tags bought BWU. icon_rolleyes.gif

In the future, if you interested looking for a keyboard, can come back again ask for advice.
Peace. kthxbye.

yes bro.. that is my pulling factor.. i was looking for mechanical keyboard.. but not sure where to lookout until i manage to drop into this forum... oh well.. since I got none to compare.. I am pretty convince to myself that the typing feels good as well.. hahaha... flex.gif

I just casually tested other brands in lowyat so not sure how it really feels like typing a whole lot of stuff on it... so now after gotten this BWU compare to my old 9 yr old keyboard, it feels great... that is why I still have no regret.. but POISON... lol... drool.gif drool.gif drool.gif

anyone here using a palm rest on your keyboard? coming from my previous keyboard I think i missed that... Any site that have like full parts to buy so I can build one from scratch, which include those that are two parts keyboard?

See 1st page for recommendation.
Choose Ducky Zero Shine.
Reason:
- Ducky is standard layout, BWU is not
- Ducky using Cherry switches, BWU using cloned Cherry switches
- Ducky is reputable for quality, BWU is never good

Recommended to avoid BWU at all cost.

But if you insist on BWU, I won't stop you at all.  nod.gif

Standard Layout looks like this.
The bottom row modifiers are in:
1.25x(Ctrl) 1.25x(Win) 1.25x(Alt) 6.25x(Spacebar) 1.25x(Alt) 1.25x(Win) 1.25x(Fn) 1.25x(Ctrl):
Any keyboard that has the same layout considered as standard layout.
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «



Now you take a look on non-standard layout keyboards.
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


Did you noticed the difference between standard and non-standard? smile.gif

have you tried replugging the usb/ps2 cable? im having quite a similar problem to yours. heres my post back then. my temporary solution is either replugging the usb cable when the problem arises, OR plug 2 mech keyboard at the same time. currently rocking shine 3 and ducky dks9008. so far no issue but as i said, temporary solution.

Not sure if upgrade the BIOS Firmware of your DS3 will help or not...
FYI, there's a new firmware for DS3 which allow Raindrop LED mode.

Not sure if CM Storm Trigger has very good durability or not...
But, it's using standard layout with some extra macro keys which is also compatible with most keycaps(R1 to R4).

Users here mostly recommend CM Storm Rapid-i and CM Storm Novatouch(if you have money) as well as CM Storm Quickfire Rapid(but EOL already).
