BlackShark V3 X HyperSpeed stuck in Bluetooth mode – won’t switch back to dongle automatically

Hello,

I’m experiencing a connectivity issue with my Razer BlackShark V3 X HyperSpeed headset.

When I switch the headset to Bluetooth mode, it connects to my Bluetooth device normally.  
However, even after I turn off Bluetooth on that device, the headset **does not switch back to the 2.4 GHz dongle connection** — it stays stuck in Bluetooth mode, constantly searching for a Bluetooth device instead of reconnecting to my PC.

The only way to reconnect it to the dongle is by **plugging the headset into my PC with the USB-C charging cable**, waiting a few seconds, and then unplugging it.  
After doing this, it connects properly to the dongle and works perfectly.  
If I power it off and on again, it continues to connect to the dongle with no problem.  
But once I use Bluetooth mode again, the issue repeats — the headset won’t detect the dongle automatically until I do the cable trick again.

Since the BlackShark V3 X HyperSpeed has **no physical button to manually switch between Bluetooth and dongle modes**, I understand that this process should happen automatically (with dongle mode being prioritized when the dongle is plugged in).  
Right now, that automatic switching doesn’t seem to work.

Is this a **firmware or software issue**, and is there anything I can do to fix it or reset the connection behavior?  
Any help or official clarification would be greatly appreciated.

I found the solution. You’ve just needed to press the power button once to switch between modes. In blackshark v3x hyperspeed this is the way.

It sounds like a firmware issue. Try updating your headset using Razer Synapse or the Razer Audio app — a recent firmware patch fixes connection-switching bugs. If it’s already updated, do a full reset by unpairing all Bluetooth devices, reconnecting the dongle, and holding the power button for 15 seconds. If the issue continues, contact Razer Support ,they can push a firmware reflash to restore proper auto-switching.
