General Discussion

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 

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 

I'm looking to replace my Razer Basilisk V3 Pro 35K with the Razer DeathAdder V4 Pro. I've had nothing but bad luck with the scroll wheels on the Basilisk series, and as far as I can tell, the Razer DeathAdder V4 Pro is the closest thing to the design and features of the Basilisk while doing something different with their scroll wheels (optical scroll wheels). I do a lot of scroll wheel heavy gaming, so the wheel holding up is important to me.Has anyone had one of these for a time longer than 3mo that can comment on their experience with it, especially the scroll wheel?

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

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.  

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... 

I’ve got a x870-a gaming WiFi and 3 NZXT F360 fans. I want an easy way to control the RGB syncing through razer chroma for gaming RGB profiles. Thoughts on the easiest way to do this? Through software or a fan controller to hijack and bypass into Synapse or is there another way…? Google hasn’t been very helpful sadly.ASUS x870-a gaming WiFi.3 NZXT F360 fans 

Hey everyone,Lately I've been running into storage issues because my devices keep filling up with videos, screenshots, project files, and backups.I've been trying different cloud storage services to keep files organized and accessible from both mobile and desktop devices. One of the platforms I've been using recently is Terabox for storing files that I don't need locally all the time but still want easy access to.So far it has helped reduce clutter on my devices and made it easier to access files when switching between systems. However, I'm still interested in learning how others manage larger collections of files and long-term backups.Do you rely mostly on cloud storage, external drives, NAS setups, or a combination of different solutions?I'd love to hear what has worked best for you and whether you've found any good strategies for keeping everything organized.

how long are razer restock their silver items.

Hey guys,I was wondering if Synapse is better now ? A few months ago, it was a nightmare to try to use it. It made my games crash constantly and other issues.Is it better now ? I don't have any lights on my keyboard anymore for some reason and Synapse seems to be the way to get it back...Thanks

I am planning to buy the Razer Blade 16 (QHD+ 240Hz OLED, GeForce RTX 5090, Black) and found options on https://www.razer.com/store/gaming-laptops or https://www.orangehardwares.com/ and https://www.ebay.com/. Since it is a premium and expensive gaming laptop, I want a safe and reliable purchase. The official Razer website seems safest with full warranty and genuine product guarantee, but prices are higher. eBay offers cheaper deals, but I am unsure about seller authenticity and warranty support. Third-party sellers like Orange Hardware also have mixed reviews. I need advice from users who have experience buying from these sources.

I have a 2023 Blade 14 [RZ09-0482x] and I recently found out that there a BIOS update for 2.0.I ran the BIOS updater, got the "BIOS will be updated from 1.06 to 2.0" pop up and the usual prompts. However, upon rebooting, it seems I'm still running BIOS ver. 1.06.While searching for a fix, I read some posts on this sub about how undervolting has been nuked and causing systems to run hotter but is that the case for Blade 14 update?

hey experts specially for those who use blackshark v2 x, do you have eq settings for cs2? i can barely hear footsteps but sometimes not like maybe low sound for footstep so like maybe there are settings for it? ik theres no eq settings on razer app...

I recently purchased the Razer Seiren V3 Chroma to use with my Macbook. The Razer Synapse 4 does not work with this mic and Razer Synapse 3 is not only unavailable but is only for Windows. OpenRBG does not have this mic listed as a compatible mic.Does anyone know what software I can use instead?Thanks so much. 

I have used an orbweaver chroma for at least 8 years now and love it. I wanted to upgrade and see what else is out there but I don't see any keypads with as much customization as the orbweaver. My biggest worry is that they wont be nearly as comfortable and ergonomic(thats what i care about most) as the orbweaver has been for me. I am open to other brand suggestions as well.

Been thinking about getting the Blackshark V3 after hearing good reviews about it, and wanting to get something that would be like an all in one gaming headset for me to use on PC, Xbox, and PS5, but I wasn’t sure which version would cover that (heard the Xbox version of the headset does this), or if it would be possible to flip between those 3 easily.Will this cover exactly what I’m looking for?

I want to free up a USB slot on my Laptop and i have a Belkin extension lead with 2 USB A's on it as well as plug slots my question is would plugging the stand into it work? and it if it did would it be better in the USB A's or with a USB plug in the plug sockets? I ask cos i read somwhere that they only worked plugged into a computer USB or an XBOX one but since its essentially a charger than doesnt sound right. 

I really enjoy seeing modern gaming setup ideas on Razer Insider because a clean and organized space can completely improve the gaming experience. A lot of people focus only on hardware and RGB lighting, but modern furniture, smart storage, and minimalist desk setups also make a huge difference during long gaming sessions. I personally prefer contemporary interiors with functional furniture because they create a more comfortable and stylish environment for both gaming and productivity.What kind of gaming setup do you personally prefer, minimalist and clean, or full RGB battlestation style?
