I have no idea what it is at all! Please help :/

Is Windows 11 compatible with 7.1 surround sound?

I was about to purchase the Razer Blackshrk V2 X when I came across a post claiming that Windows 11 does not support 7.1 surround audio. If this is the truth, I will not purchase the headphones because my computer has really important data.

[TotW] Naughty or Nice?

Like any normal human being playing against other people, I can get tilted. It doesn't happen a lot, but it does happen. There have even been a few times I wasn't very proud of myself after I was tilted half passed the equator. Generally, however, I'm pretty well humored and often shrug off a lot of negativity. Sometimes I find myself being a lot nicer than I normally would be outside of the game, especially when playing World of Warcraft. I often wonder if it has something to do with the progressive-cooperative nature compared to Overwatch where it's a cooperative-competitive game. What about the rest of you? Are you consistent with your offline self? Or do you find that you're meaner or perhaps, nicer when playing a game with others? This is your Thread of the Week. As we get closer to the Holidays I feel more inclined to hand out Silver :wink_:.

The Dreaded Backlog

Growing up as a kid and even up to my early college days, a huge problem was that I never had enough games. When I got my NES for my birthday the only games I had were the ones that came with it: Duck Hunt and Gyromite. We didn't have much money, so the games were far and a few between and anytime I got my hands on a game, I played the living daylights out of it. Fast forward to today, sprinkle in some hard work and whip up a batch of first world problems and I have found myself with the opposite. Now that I'm making my own money, I find myself buying games that I never get around to playing. Maybe there's a part of me that feels like I'm making up for the lack that was prevalent when I was a kid. Regardless, I have this huge backlog of games and with work and life, I feel like there's never enough time. Do you have a backlog? If so, how big? Do you think you'll ever get to it? This is the thread of the week, share your stories!

Razer Blackshark v2 - Cleaning Ear Pads

Hi guys, I'm having a dilemma over my Razer Blackshark v2 in terms of hygiene. I live in a humid environment and I do my work and gaming usually outside my house on the driveway. I've had the headphones for three weeks now and the earpads have been accumulating sweat so there's already a bit of a foul smell. I've been looking for ways to clean the earpads and I found this thread on another website suggesting to put some hydrogen peroxide. I did that but the smell is still there. Unlike other headsets- this blackshark v2 doesn't give you a very easy way to hand wash the earpads because it's being held by the adhesive on the headphones itself. Removing the earpads might make the adhesive lose its integrity. Any suggestions on the best way to clean and deodorize it? Thanks.

One Man's Trash...

Insiders, Every so often I come across perfectly working, abandoned peripherals in the office. Some are old, some have suffered some cosmetic injuries but are still in good working order and many of them aren't boxed. Would you be interested in them as giveaways?

[TotW] And Then Two Became One

Many times I find that one of our products simply aren't enough to fulfill a need. I can try to break into the secret lab the devs and engineers have locked themselves in creating the next best thing, but honestly, I'm sure they're light years beyond what I can even imagine. Back to my original point, however. There are times where I wish I could have the under glow of the Cynosa Chroma Pro and full Chroma keys on my BlackWidow Lite. Or a Firefly Hard Edition the size of a Goliathus Extended. Which Razer products would you ship to have babies to be the ultimate product? What kind of Frankenstein amalgamation would you cackle insanely for to give life? This is the last Thread of the Week for the Year, so I'm going to be super generous with Razer Silver. Be sure to check your rewards next week to see if you got something from Santa me. Ho ho ho!

[TotW] Free to Play, Pay to Win or One and Done?

During lunch, my colleagues and I were in a discussion about why certain AAA titles from major developers and publishers have flopped, recently. It seems that the past few years have been hard on big named games. It's my theory that on top of not having the original teams that bore the AAA game franchise, a lot of the games now a days are built around a revenue model instead of, well, a gameplay experience. I think when developers are forced to create around a revenue model, it can restrict gameplay systems and mechanics, which in turn affects how a person may enjoy a game. Personally, I don't mind loot boxes if they're for cosmetics only. I have huge problem with pay-to-win or stupidly RNG gacha mechanics. I'm 100% ok with paying full price for a game if I know I'm going to get a good value out of it and will pay extra for strategically priced DLC. So for this week's Thread of the Week, I want to know what your preference is. Fill the poll out and let me hear your thoughts!

Real Fix for Double Click Mouse Problem

Double Click is a very bad, widespread problem affecting all Razer Mouse The Solution is simple Windows Settings > Devices > Mouse > "Additional Mouse Options" Look for "Double-click speed" and set it to "Fast" As simple as that.... Double Click Problem Solved If this Solution doesn't work, you probably have a bad Switch. As we all know by now... below the overpriced, over-hyped fancy design. Razer uses very low quality, cheap hardware in their products. Its also amazing how Razer Support can be so extremely bad... they will waste your time with pointless, useless troubleshooting like Reinstalling Synapse, Drivers, Firmware, Trying different USB ports... none of that works, its just a complete waste of time. Razer simply doesn't care about the frustration of thousands and thousands of users, they will never acknowledge there is a BIG Problem with a whole line of their products, and will never ever help fix it... even if its hurting their brand reputation really bad and m

[TotW] A Wireless Standard

Who's the cutest little mouse? Yes you are! Surprisingly, the mouse that brought me into the wireless world was the Atheris. I say surprisingly because this was before Razer™ HyperSpeed Wireless. Don't get me wrong, it was still our tech, but it was unassuming like the mouse was; powered by batteries, great for travel, no Chroma. But it showed me that having a wireless mouse wasn't an issue when it came to gaming. I'm no pro gamer, and I certainly didn't notice any issues with lag. So when we started dropping new mice with wireless tech, Razer™ HyperSpeed Wireless tech to be exact, I was already on board. I would miss my mouse bungee terribly, but it was worth the new Chroma mouse dock and wireless gaming. Are you still wired? Is it a choice? Have you encountered any problems? I'd love to know your thoughts. This is your Thread of the Week. Like and comment for a chance at the random "Great" achievement. Two additional comments with great feedback will get the repeatable "Nice"

[ICYMI] Shut Up, October and Take My Money!

In Case You Missed It The World’s First Optical Laptop Switch Available in our select Razer Blade 15 Advanced Model. Every keypress delivers satisfying mechanical tactile feedback, and each keycap is individually backlit with Razer Chroma RGB lighting. Clicky, clicky > Razer Raptor I've used this one myself. It's gorgeous! Vibrant colors and deep rich blacks; the Razer Raptor's IPS display supporting HDR400, an insanely wide DCI-P3 color gamut, which surpasses the sRGB standard along with life-like colors and WQHD resolution is the missing piece to your Razer battlestation. Tartarus Pro The Razer Tartarus Pro is fitted with Razer Analog Optical Switches which can register scaling levels of input in the same motion depending on how far you press. For example, a half press will cause your character to walk, while a full press will get them to run. This type of control is similar to how you might move your character using analog thumbsticks on a controller. Razer Tetra Enter

[TotW] The Reason for Razer

The first time I laid eyes on a Blade My first encounter with Razer was filled with skepticism. There existed a somewhat cognitive dissonance about a decade ago where PC laptops were sci-fi induced nightmare machines and MacBooks were these super streamlined, beautifully crafted pieces of technology. It made no sense to me. The hardware was similar enough, PC manufacturers had the ability to create the hardware necessary to put out beautiful versions of their laptops, but they didn't - or at least it didn't seem like they were trying. I had friends jumping ship to Mac merely for the fact that the Macs looked better. As a devoted Windows user, this hurt. I mean, where's the freakin' right-click, man!? And when it came to gaming? Forget it. Then I discovered Razer. They were doing the thing that we as gamers needed. They understood. They, got it. I thought it was a joke at first, but I soon came to realize that this was the real deal and since then, I've been obsessed. I eventually

[TotW] And the Winner is...

The Game Awards announced it's nominees for Game of the Year. This is always a great time for me, first because of the holidays, but also because I feel like it's a good time to end the year of games with games and a celebration of games (the holidays are a good time to catch up and play games). So this week's question is a two-parter. What game do you think will win Game of the Year? What games are you playing over the holidays? This is the Thread of the Week. Good responses may get you over 1000 Razer Silver!

Stadia and You

With the recent announcement of Stadia, Google's new gaming platform at GDC, I'm curious as to how that will affect console and systems owners. Is this something you'd switch over to, or do you like having your own, physical systems? Do you think latency is going to be an issue? /discuss

Razer Blade 15 Base Touchpad Stiff and not clicking

So I've had the Razer Blade 15 Base Model for just over a year, and the touchpad has been super inconsistent. Right now, I cannot click on the touchpad unless I use the bottom-left corner and press extremely hard. Is there a solution? What the heck is wrong with this laptop? I cannot click anywhere on the rest of the touchpad; it is as hard as a rock.

Xbox Charging Dock - Blinking Light

Hey everyone I wanted to get some feedback on an issue I've been having. I recently bought the Xbox charging dock and right out the box, when I placed the controller down it started to rapidly blink orange. I've looked over the manual and it only says "Solid orange light = charging & Solid white light = fully charged". I know when most things blink it means that something isn't working so I assumed that there's something wrong with the dock. I tried to look online but couldn't find anyone else with this problem. I also have this separate issue where after turning into a white light meaning fully charged, it'll randomly go back to orange even if I leave it on the dock. Anyone have any ideas? TL;DR: Rapid blinking orange light on Xbox Charging Dock
