Keyboard lag during games | Razer Insider (2025)

I used to use the Razer Cortex a lot on the PC, it always left the games with good fps and good functioning, but it started for some reason to have a horrible problem, when I play any game with the razer cortex boost, my keyboard is very laggy, in shooting games for example, my character walks after 3 seconds. When this happens the ping is not high and nothing of the kind, but when I close the razer cortex or stop the boost, back to normal.

Specifications:

My keyboard is not from Razer, it is Havit brand.

Only on the keyboard, is not in the control or mouse.

My PC is Windows 10.

Happens in all games, especially these: Valorant, Apex Legends, Fortnite, League of legends, and More.

I use Razer Cortex must do 6 months.

I always keep the Razer Cortex updated and never get this bug

It's always only during a Game, it doesn't get problems in other programs (Example: Discord and Browser).

My Boost Settings:
CPU core activation, Disable CPU suspend mode, Clear clipboard, disable automatic updates, explorer.exe, clear RAM, Windows key, grip key.
Processes:
Java Updater Scheduler and Task Manager.

Services:
BDESVC, DPS, EFS, fdPHost, fdResPub, font cache, PcaSvc, Spooler, StorSvc, SysMain, TrkWks, VaultSvc, WbioSrvc, WdiServiceHost, WdiSystemHost, WpdSystemHost, WPDBusEnum, WSearch.
(I use boost prime only in Fortnite)

I don't know if this is important, but the clean system I use is this:


Application Junk Files, Games Junk Files, System Junk Files, Recycle Bin, Browser Junk Files and Browser privacy

I really wanted to get back to using the razer cortex so I came to ask for help, I do not know if this is a problem that is happening only to me or if it is really a bug in the platform

Oh, it worked!
When I turned off the windows key, it felt worse than before, but when I turned off the grip key, it was amazing, I was testing in fortnite, it felt like the keyboard was even better lol, I think it's because of the FPS.
Thank you very much, I had this problem for a long time :D
