General Discussion

I'm completely shocked! I just joined the pack and was working hard to reach the Insider rank before the March deadline. I just got a DM saying I'm one of the winners of the 2,500 Razer Silver Reward, so the hunt was worth it!This is the best thing that could happen to me right now as I work toward a career in Software Engineering and set up my first real "pro" setup. I've been sharing my projects here, like my Gaming Family Tree and my Linguistic Lore world-building, and the community and staff have been so welcoming.Thank you so much to @Njord, @dekades, and the Razer team for the voucher. To all the other "Minis" out there: Keep posting, keep talking to each other, and keep the hunt going. It really does happen!Now is my time to redeem this and get one step closer to that dream Razer setup.I'll see you all in the forums! 🎮🌌

the power button on my leviathan v2 is flashing green. what's wrong

Yesterday, I casually opened Synapse3 and was fooled by the red triangle and pressed the "Update to Synapse4" button. That was the beginning of all the tragedies.My Razer Tarutarus V2 lost 3 layers and over 30 macro assignments. I can't remember which macros were assigned to which keys and I have to reassign them one by one by hand. This has devastated my CAD, illustration and video editing productivity. Razer is kind enough to call this a "seamless experience."After a few hours of fuming, I discovered that I could downgrade to Synapse 3, but then the macro module itself stopped working. It was working fine before I pressed the "Update to Synapse 4" button, so it's definitely related to the update to Synapse 4.There's an old saying that goes "If it ain't broken, don't fix it." I am painfully aware of how right this was. If you are not suffering with Synapse 3, do NOT upgrade to Synapse 4, no matter what threatening message you are being shown.Synapse3 is

Can a razer blade 18 charge on usb type c? I was looking online and it looks like it can but I can’t seem to get mine to charge. I have tried multiple cables and bricks non of them seem to work. Is there a setting I’m missing that I need to enable to charge via usb type c?

This is the first time in a while I’ve genuinely been impressed by Razer products, namely the 2026 blade 16 which seems to have gotten everything right. At $5k for a fully specced out version, however, it’s pretty damn far from cheap. It’s actually about $1k more than the MacBook Pro M5 Max I was considering as my alternative - and honestly I need some input here. The biggest concern I have with making the purchase is the support aspect. I’d like to keep this laptop going strong for the next 5 years or so, and I’ve always heard terrible things about Razer support and age durability with their products. I’ve also been told that’s changed a lot in recent years, so I’d love to hear from y’all what you think if it’s worth the price. 

Hi Razer team & community,I've recently noticed an odd issue with font rendering inside Razer Synapse on my Windows 11 PC. Some of the text appears blurry, slightly pixelated, or just not as sharp as the rest of the UI.I’ve already tried the usual fixes—changing DPI settings, enabling ClearType, reinstalling Synapse—but the issue still shows up occasionally, especially on high refresh rate monitors.Has anyone else experienced this? Not sure if it's a compatibility issue with Windows 11 or a display scaling problem. Would appreciate any help or confirmation!Thanks in advance! 👊Henry

I need a new mouse and I have been thinking about getting a Razer DeathAdder V3 Pro however I've seen some people complain about the scroll wheel. Is it a common issue with this mouse? Are there any other consistent issues people get? 

I’m using a huntsman v3 pro mini and have the rgb colour setting to white in Razer chroma. Now when I set the colour white it will stay like that for the duration of however long my computer is. However once I turn it off, when I turn it back on the rgb is reset back to the default rainbow instead of the white I had chosen. I was wondering if there was any fix to this issue to I don’t have to keep setting it manually every time I turn on my computer. 

Ello. So i have a blackshark v2x headset and for some reason the people im in call with/when im in class, they can hear themselves. This is the exact reason why i got a headset in the first place, to avoid echoing. it gets really annoying. someone please help 

I ordered the Razer Thunderbolt 5 Dock from official site and it delivered yesterday. Connected a Skydimo RGB strip to it's USB A port and I got the windows "Power surge on the USB port" message. The RGB I have is for a 27 inch monitor and it covers 4 sides of my screen, so it does require some power. When I lower the brightness then it works as usual, but once I set the brightness back up to anything more than around 70%, it just turns off completely. I tried the other USB A port and got the same results. But if I connect it to the usb c ports via adaptor (including the non thunderbolt 5 one), its able to light up as usual.I tried searching on the web but it only says the USB A ports support 10gb/s data transfer and didn't mention anything about the wattage available. Normally I would assume its just what it is but just want to know if it's possible my dock is faulty because (1) it is a somewhat premium product, and (2) my old Dell dock that doesn't even uses thunderbolt 4 c

I got a pair of Razer blackshark v2s of off fb marketplace and wanted to ask what I should do software wise to make them sound better.I heard synapse is really bad and I should get another software for them but idk which.I also have this issue where if im not using the USB card and plugging in js the audio jack, sound only comes out of the left side.

Hey I am looking to upgrade my huntsman mini. I've tried some other kayboards of course but I got quite used to dampened feel of the mini.I even got a cheap hall effect keyboard (very nice one mchose jet75) but I am not sure I like the bottoming out of the keys being so sharp.Any ideas? Was the mini the only one ?

what are the games available for optimization on razer cortex

Hi, I came here because I play Star Wars: The Old Republic (SWTOR). The game has been sold to BroadSword and is getting ready for it’s 8.0 release of the game.  I think that would be a good time for Razer to rerelease the SWTOR Naga mouse with SWTOR crystal codes. It’s something that many of us players would love to have access to all these years later. Thank you for your consideration.

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.

How many of us with intermittent working issues ? Has anybody resolved this or already received a replacement which doesn’t have this problem ? Thank you 

Why on earth does the very latest machine - the Next-Generation Razer Blade 16 (2026) only come with Windows Home? Its the latest of everything spec and then anyone likely to buy it will need to features of Pro. Very strange. Thanks Trevor 

My battery health is at about 50% at the moment and lasts a measly 50ish minutes off charge... Where abouts do you guys recommend getting a replacement or is it worth just doing myself?Im not too scared of replacing the battery but just wondering if there are any things I should be looking out for in terms of buying a replacement and if there are any lil upgrades I can do along with it... Or do I just get one done under warranty and let the shop take care of it? 

3-22-26 I was playing on my razer blade 18 5080 earlier today with no issues. Now all of a sudden when I open it up again it looks like its starting up. And then I get nothing. The best I've gotten is a screen flicker on my log in page and then it goes black. I can't follow the troubleshooting guide with no display at all. I dont have a second display to connect to it. Any help would be appreciated

Dear Razer Team,I’m a long-time supporter writing regarding the Wolverine V3 Pro 8K and the lack of macro support for controller users.Many in the community are confused and disappointed that macros are restricted on controllers while the vast majority of Razer keyboards fully support macro recording and advanced customization. This feels inconsistent and biased — especially when 99% of your keyboards allow it, yet controllers do not. It creates an imbalance within the same ecosystem, where one group of users has full customization and another does not.It’s also worth noting that you already released a wired version titled the Tournament Edition. If a tournament-focused model exists, it would make sense for the Pro version to allow broader functionality.A simple solution would be a firmware update with two selectable modes:Free Mode – Enables macro support and advanced customizationTournament Mode – Disables macros for competitive compliance

I’ve installed the driver from nvidia on both gpu. Laptop and egpu. I installed synapse and can control my rgb. Computer switches back and forth from internal display to egpu connected monitor and occasionally it will stick on the egpu monitor. But my performance is actually worse on my gtx 1080 in the razor egpu  ftw which shouldn’t be the case. I have a fresh out of box thunderbolt 4 cable and updated drivers on my thunderbolt port. Any thoughts??

Hello, I have a Late 2020 Razer Blade Stealth (i7-1165G7, 1650ti, 1080p-120hz) (RZ09-0327). It’s starting to get to that point where I’d like to replace the battery (partially out of inflation fear). Are there good 3rd party options for a replacement battery or does Razer make any? I’ve taken it apart before to swap storage, re paste, and clean the fans, so I have the battery model# (RC330-02810200). I did a quick search the other day and only found one Amazon link with no reviews. I’m not as knowledgeable with laptop hardware, so I figured I would ask here. Would appreciate any and all help/advice!! Thanks! 

Hello i dont have acces on my old phone number and back up codes or email trying to call support hard to find where the number is

I can't figure out how to turn off the RGB lights while the kraken v4 pro is in Bluetooth mode. It's an unnecessary drain on battery life and it's really frustrating. I have tried turning off brightness on synapse but the moment my headset isn't connected to my PC anymore, the RGB resumes. Does anyone know how to trim them off and keep them off while in Bluetooth mode?

personally i like both theyre both good for different reasons what ur opinion?
