The issue here is that the Razer layout isn’t *quite* standard - specifically the bottom row of keys. 2.4G Portable Mini Computer Keyboard, Quiet Click, 12 Media Keys. For example, the Huntsman Elite ships with ABS keycaps, so I spent the first day with my new device popping off their ABS caps and replacing as many of them as I could with PBT caps, since those take a beating a bit better. The hardware has been great, although I’ll admit to some of the tradeoffs being a bit frustrating at times.

I recently decided to take a dive into the Cult of Razer by overhauling my mismatched setup of variously branded bits and unify everything under the 3 snakes. Hope this helps anyone else out there trying to find a solution.I will admit to having a weakness for quality PC peripherals, from mechanical keyboards to 4K monitors and everything in between. If you decide to go this route, you can use compatibility mode (right click->properties) to make a program always run as admin. This can cause problems with controls while you're in non-admin programs though (the problem goes both ways). This is probably the best solution.Īnother option is to escalate all the relevant programs to admin status to match the game (ie run your media player as admin). Other than that piece of broad advice, google is your friend. If they're installed in "Program Files" they need admin rights to edit the files and apply patches.

The big culprits are MMOs and MOBAs like league of legends which need to patch a lot. Otherwise you can see if there's a way to run the game without needing to elevate it to admin status.

The most straightfoward is to just log into your computer as the administrator account (google how to do that). So you have a few ways of tackling the issue.
#Windows mediakeys work with league drivers#
Microsoft intellitype drivers for my old MS keyboard had the same issue. After elevating it to admin, mouse function was restored. This program is run as the user (not admin), so I couldn't use my thumb buttons in admin'd games.

My ASUS mouse "driver" is actually a program that runs when the user logs into the program (which is really annoying BTW, since I have to wait a few seconds while it disables and re-enables my mouse). This is also why sometimes you can't use extra mouse buttons in games. So if your admin'd game is in focus and you hit the play/pause key, it sends that to all other admin'd programs, but not the normal-user programs like your media player. Please note that disabling UAC does not fix this issue.Įssentially when you hit an input it's sent as the user of the active window, and other users ignore that input. However if I run BOTH programs as an admin, my media keys work again!
#Windows mediakeys work with league trial#
Media keys working in some programs but not others (like games) is a windows permissions issue.Īfter a whole lot of trial and error, I realized that my media keys don't work when one program is being run as an administrator but the other isn't.įor example if I'm running a game (let's say league of legends) as an admin, but I'm not running my music player as an admin, the keys will not work.

This doesn't seem to be specific to any particular brand of keyboard, I've seen this problem with pretty much every brand out there. I would have posted this here anyway, but it seems like fate that I am since I bought a K70 today (literally today). I've finally figured out why this happens and found a solution. This is one of the first results when I google "media keys not working in game".
