General Discussion

Hi everyone,I've been using Razer Synapse for a while, but recently I've been wondering if I'm underusing profiles. Right now I have one general setup for everything, but I play a mix of FPS, RTS, and RPG games, and I'm thinking about creating game-specific profiles.For those of you who use Synapse regularly:Do you create separate profiles for each game or just one per genre? Which settings do you usually change between profiles (DPI, macros, lighting, key bindings, etc.)? Does Synapse switch profiles reliably when launching games automatically, or do you still change them manually? Are there any profile features that you didn't start using until much later but now can't live without?I'd love to hear how other Razer users organize their setups, especially if you play a variety of games. I feel like I'm probably missing some useful workflow tips.

I bought the BlackShark V2 HyperSpeed, but I feel that the mic quality and sound volume are lower over the dongle connection than when using it via the USB cable. Also, I hear crackling sounds from the mic when listening to recordings in wireless mode!? What should I do somebody faced the same issue?What should I do? Has anyone faced the same issue?

The Razer Wolverine Ultimate has been the only controller ive used over the last almost decade now. The extension the re-bindable back triggers gave allowing for better faster inputs and less thumb off the joysticks action in a way that still left for a comfortable claw grip. What on earth happened? How does anyone play with these back button arthritis machines?The page for the Razer Wolverine Ultimate is still accessible https://www.razer.com/console-controllers/razer-wolverine-ultimate, how do I purchase one?

Does anyone know of any future plans for a new Razer ARGB/Fan Hub.  I have their current ARGB hub, but would love if they made one that was both ARGB and a PWM fan hub in one.  Anyone else that would be interested in this as well?

Hi,I'm having a strange issue with my Razer Huntsman V3 Pro TKL.The keyboard randomly disconnects and reconnects for 1-2 seconds. It happens completely at random: sometimes twice within an hour, sometimes once every 4-5 hours.Things I've already tried:Different USB ports on both the motherboard and the caseUSB power saving disabled in WindowsDifferent cablesI know Synapse can sometimes cause issues like this, but running without it isn't really an option for me because I use custom mouse side-button bindings that depend on Synapse.Has anyone experienced something similar with the Huntsman V3 Pro TKL or other Razer keyboards? Did you find a fix?Thanks.

Hi Guys! I’ve ordered a 2026 Razer Blade 16 5090 ( Model RZ09-05819EN4-R3U1 ) and I will likely need to purchase additional chargers.On the page for the 2026, it lists the OEM Charger for it as 20v 12.5a 280w (weirdly, this calculates only to 250w, so I don’t know what is wrong - the watts or the amps listing).https://www.razer.com/gaming-laptops/razer-blade-16/RZ09-05819EN9-R3U1In searching the store, I found this item: https://www.razer.com/gaming-laptops-accessories/razer-280w-power-adapter/RC30-05280200-B3U1?srsltid=AfmBOoppkDnJvEX-JPV14S5PPJfLQPE70Y6ZPNdnml1sdgM85tXuoR8hIt lists itself as: 20 V, 14 A, 280W. It lists the laptops they say are compatible with it. That list does not include the 2026 5090 Blade 16 Model (RZ09-0581)Could anyone tell me if Razer just hasn’t yet put out the charger as available to purchase separately? Is this linked 280w charger the right one? Does anyone know the actual specs on the 2026’s charger?Thanks in advance. 

So, I’ve ordered the 2026 Razer Blade 16 5090 ( https://www.razer.com/gaming-laptops/razer-blade-16/RZ09-05819EN9-R3U1 ). The specs show the charger for it is “280 W AC Adapter, Output: 20 V DC, 12.5 A, 250 W, Input: 100-240 V AC, 50 / 60 Hz universal”.I currently have (1) a 2023 Razer Blade 16 4090 and (2) a 2020 Razer Blade 17 2080 Super that are used between 2 users between 3 desks and a travel briefcase from the office. (I keep a spare of the 280w 19.5v from the 2020 Blade 17 in another bag when both need to be out and about). To handle both laptops at every location, I have 4 of the 330w chargers that were OEM for the 2023 Razer. Those 4 chargers are 19.5V 16.92A, Model #RC30-0484. They are the same voltage as the OEM for the 2020 power supply - so I’ve been able to setup the three desks and my laptop briefcase to just carry the 330w to cover using either of the 2023 or 2020 models.Now, I’m faced with either (a) buying 3 more chargers for the 2026 Blade 16 and keeping BOTH charger

I have a razer basilisk x hyper speed I love my mouse, but the rubber sides are done for I want to keep using my mouse cuz it feels nice in my hand, but I don't wanna buy a new one what should I do 

I told myself I wouldn't buy another game until I finished the ones I already own... then the Steam sale started.Now I've got a library full of games I've been meaning to play, but I always end up going back to the same few multiplayer titles with my friends. Every time I think, "I'll start that RPG this weekend," something else comes up.I'm curious how everyone else handles it. Do you actually finish a game before moving on, or have you accepted that your backlog is never going away?What's the oldest game sitting in your library that you still swear you're going to play "soon"?

I almost bought a new game this weekend, but then I remembered how I was completely hooked on Elden Ring when it came out. I barely touched anything else for weeks.Now I catch myself putting off certain games because I know they're going to become my "one more hour" game, and I don't always have that kind of time anymore.Does anyone else do this, or do you just jump into a game if it looks fun and deal with the consequences later?Also, what's the last game that completely took over your gaming time?

I wish it came in white but yea alot of people compare these 2 but what are yours thoughts?Can get razor below $100 so price doesnt matter.Mainly want 8k + Wireless 

So I play on console and haven’t messed with the firmware on the mouse or anything, but I was playing Fortnite and join a game and out of nowhere my two side buttons aren’t working at all and my dpi button won’t change my dpi or even register that I’m clicking them, & I didn’t slam it or anything it just stoped working entirely, is there a fix for this? 

Hey all, I've been using the Kraken TE for many years. It's starting to break now & I'd like to get one that has similar earcup size & comfort. I've tried few headsets i.e. Steel Series Nova 5, Corsair HS80, DT 770 pro but they are all kind of small for my large head & ears.Kraken TE sits around my ears & the clamping force is not that strong either. I can wear them all day. I'd really appreciate any suggestion. Thanks 

Hello. I'm trying out the BlackShark V3 Pro headset currently, but I'm having some discomfort on the ears. I think the depth of the earpads is not enough, allowing the cushioned driver stuff to touch the ear causing discomfort.Do you recommend picking up some slightly thicker and wider aftermarket earpads, or just going with a different headset all together?I'm pretty happy with this headset otherwise. It seems to be an upgrade over my HyperX Cloud II on which the microphone finally fully died. Battery life seems good, modes are cool, ANC is cool (although I can hear faint heartbeat, it does kill tons of fan noise which is a huge win), wireless is great.My only complaints are the above comfort issue, and the THX stuff is basically unusable. Also, there are some annoying Plex issues where the PC thinks it's a 5.1 system, so you won't hear sound unless you are using THX but the THX sounds worse than stereo.What would you do?

StarCraft: Remastered is randomly crashing on my Razer Blade 16 (2024).In some cases the game simply disappears to the desktop. In other cases it causes Windows itself to crash and automatically reboot without displaying a traditional blue screen.I’m hoping someone can help me determine whether this is a StarCraft issue, an Intel 14900HX issue, a Hyper-V/VBS issue, or a hardware/firmware problem being exposed by StarCraft. System:• Razer Blade 16 (RZ09-0510)• Intel i9-14900HX• RTX 4090 Laptop GPU• Windows 11 Home• Latest Razer BIOS (1.08) Symptoms:Originally, while playing StarCraft: Remastered, the entire laptop would occasionally freeze and then reboot. Windows would display a message indicating it had encountered an error and needed to restart, but no traditional blue screen was shown. I analyzed the resulting crash dump with WinDbg and found: • BugCheck 0x3D (INTERRUPT_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED)• PROCESS_NAME: StarCraft.exe• Failure bucket: nt!HalpHvTimerArm• Hypervisor / Hyper-V refer

Every time I boot up my computer, my wireless headset starts quiet, and then doesn’t kick into its full loudness until I swap EQ Profiles in the Synapse app. This workaround works every time but it’s also annoying that it doesn’t this because then I have to keep synapse on my computer just to do this every time I play.I’d love to truly just turn the headphones on and have them work. Anyone else notice this issue?

Hi.My mouse broke down and I want to buy a new one.I saw the basalisk v3 x hyperspeed and it seems great for me but I have seen a lot of issues with it.Is it really worth the risk and if no which one should I buy for 60€ and under

I lost my phone and now i cant top up. I also don't have backup codes but i can access my registered email.

i got this razer black widow v4 after using the v3 for years and it seems to be double typing keys alot of the time, i saw a post on this aroound three years ago, wondering if theres any actual fixes whether its from the firmware or just whatever, are there any fixes oor do i live with this, its not awful just slightly annoying on a brand new keyboard 

I killed my keyboard with a cup of coffee! In fact, I also killed my Naga Trinity mouse at the same time by knocking off my desk while trying to clean up the spilt coffee! UGH!!! I really like the touch of my Black widow, before I start looking at wireless replacement for it, I need to know which ones have the same key touch as this one does. One of the reasons I bought a Razer keyboard is I KNOW I’m hard on them. I learned how to type on an old IBM manual typewriter back in the early 80s. You  really have to pound on the keys to get them to work back then! So, while I save for a new keyboard and mouse, I’m looking at means to prevent this issue from happening again. I’ve already ordered a cup holder that clamps on my desk so there’s no way to spill anything on my gear anymore. I’d also like to know if there’s skin I can cover the keyboard with, as I also have two cats, and often remove enough hair during regular maintenance to knit a blanket! LOL! Lastly, I’m on SSDI….a very tight bud

I have Razer 14 2025 and unsuccessful trying to use HDMI to the external Asus VG32WQ3B monitor.  Seems when I run with HDMI the screen repeatedly blanks out for 1 sec periodically, annoying and unusable.  I have tried all sorts of configurations to include all possible refresh rates, HDR on/off, multiple color bit depths, various resolutions in Windows and nvidia control panel settings, updated all drivers, reinstalled drivers.  no JOY :(I can successfully run the Asus external monitor on an USB-C to DP cable to get 144hz, but that uses the AMD graphics card. From what I read and paid for, I want to use all the nvidia 5070 give me, that would be though the HDMI.  Does anyone have any solutions?Additionally, when I have external monitor plugged in any port, I had to disable “turn off display”, because the Razer 14 screens do not come back on.  The Razer runs, keyboard lights, and requires a 10 sec power-press cold-boot.  Welcome thoughts on this too.  

Does anyone have a privacy screen to recommend for the razer blade 14 2025?I want something for the planes or waiting areas that will prevent others from seeing my screen.Appreciate your insight.

I made a mistake 5 years ago when I switched to PC and learned to play MnK only with this device. Binding WASD to the thumb-stick. I dont know how to play without it.Is there any other alternatives or updates coming to the keypad?I have gone through 2 already and thinking of buying a few as backup just in case it gets discontinued

Why does the left button on my Razer mouse sometimes stop responding when I use the CPS test on avif to png?

Hey everyone, i have a bit of an issue, i've completely lost the headset's microphone.I attempted to search for a new one on the internet and found nothing. Then i attempted to get a new one by asking razer, but they told me they didnt have any new microphones. I also attempted to contact amazon support but they were not of any help either.Does anyone know where i could buy a new microphone? i could really use the help as the headset was expensive...
