General Discussion

Hi there,I’ve been using the BlackWidow Elite (RZ03-0262) with Yellow switches for years and I really love it. I’m primarily a programmer, not a gamer. The Yellow switches feel very fast and responsive, although sometimes a little too fast for my typing style; they occasionally register extra inputs. Overall, it’s been a great keyboard for me.I’m now considering the BlackWidow V4 Low-Profile (full size, wireless) to use in different places. I noticed that Razer offers both Yellow and Orange switches, and I’m trying to understand the difference in real-world use.My questions are:How do the Orange switches compare to the Yellow in terms of feel and sound?I wouldn’t describe the Yellow switches as quiet — how much louder are the Orange switches compared to Yellow?For someone who types a lot (programming, long sessions) and likes a responsive feel without too many accidental presses, would you recommend sticking with Yellow or trying Orange?

Hey everyone, I got something to discuss with my ROG QD-OLED monitor conflict with Axon while I'm scrolling to view live wallpaper like, constant flicker or some sort of distorted screen of my whole screen.But once I closed the program, the issue stopped. Also one more thing is, the Axon program worked perfectly fine for my ROG Scar 18 laptop except for my PC monitor.I'm a fan of live wallpaper but this kind of issue is really irritating. Does anyone know what could cause these problems? Not sure if my specs are related but I used ASRock MB.

Hello,just got myself a pair of Barracuda X headsets,was wondering if there's an issue if I charge them with my OnePlus 12 charger,it's a 100W charger. Will this damage them? 

Hey everyone, since Synapse 2.0 support ended, my keyboard and mouse have been temporarily disconnecting while I'm playing online games, and sometimes I've had to unplug the cable. I'm so used to my mouse that I don't want to look for an alternative. What do you recommend? Please help, I'm desperate. 

I have a Wolverine wired, sometimes the gun just pulls to the right and ignored input for like a split second, messing me up.Any ideas?

I’ve been gaming/had a pc since I was 10 or 2020, my brother bought me my first ever PC, It had a 1080TI is all I remember, and then he let me pick my peripherals, a Zowie Mouse and a random keyboard, and a Razer Kraken X Essential, It was great at the time, but after like the 30 day warranty expired, my Kraken X just decided to snap in two, I told my brother about it and he was very understanding, as if he knew Razer was fragile. I’ve recently got the Razer Viper V3 Pro for a birthday gift and It has been great, I don’t know why their headsets are fragile, is there any reason behind it? 

I downloaded the program from their website, which says it's compatible with Windows 11, but when I try to open it, it won't open. I have the code to validate my application so I can use the program, but if it won't open, I can't enter the code. What can I do to use that option? someone help me?

Do I use the adapter from the Hammerhead V3 to connect to Synapse to use THX Spatial Audio?If I can use the adapter to get access to the Synapse THX Spatial Audio, then I can use it for all my headphones.

I just received my mouse and there seems to be a problem with the scroll wheel. Pages scroll up and down as soon as I touch it. Is there a way to fix this? Or is this just the design of the product?I cant even click scroll wheel, it just moves up or down. I watched a video about scrolling settings but there is no " Scrolling " tab on the app. is there any way to fix this? 

Anybody know why my controller randomly doesn’t get detected ? It’s shows on the sysnapse app and on my device manager , but in game it doesn’t work . I disabled and reinstalled drivers on device manger , but still doesn’t work. It was just working perfectly fine .

Is there a way to control where the effects will be implemented? Sim hub has some fixed position for wing loading ,g accelaration ,g decalaration ,speed ,rpm,lateral g,landing. Is it possible to choose where you want it !!?? NEW USER

I got euro sign to work on M1 button with an key binding in synapse, but maybe better to put the Euro sign on the alt 5 button or better still a dedicated button on this very high priced keyboard…. :( 

I think this is due to the update, I am suddenly experiencing this static/popping sound. The headset is around 1 month old, anyone know a fix for this? it is pretty annoying.

I have had a razor keyboard for a little over a year purchasing the specific model I got for the key feature of which was that it has the onboard memory, I have tried this out and the memory only seems to work with computers that have the razer software installed and not on other devices, which feels like the feature it trying to imply. I have really been happy with the product as a keyboard for my laptop but was hoping to also use it with some of my other devices which do not support synapse.

I just got this new Basaltic V3 mouse today and got the colors the way I want them but I have to keep the software on to keep the colors from changing back to default. I never had this issue with another mouse I have owned. I am already thinking of returning the mouse after this experience using it for 30 minutes, and that software they have you install is acting like a virus adding all sorts of reg changes and startup and even path changes to my OS. Even after I uninstalled Synapsis V3 to install V4 I started going through the Reg before installing 4 and didn't clean itself up properly. I want nothing to do with this software except for setting the color to static and it being blue. Any suggestions welcome I will be returning this back to Amazon and getting another Logitech or ASUS mouse if I can't fix it. 

I've been playing Destiny 2 with this controller and love it. I'm running into an issue now, though, that while the controller works, I can't edit the Steam Input to change anything. I tried changing the response curve, and it's not affected by Steam settings. I tried another controller and confirmed that it works for that one. Any idea what might be causing this?
