Keyboards

Heyo! I am getting a Razer Cynosa Chroma for Christmas and I’m wondering, does Synapse 2 work with this keyboard? I have a Mac and S2 is supported for this machine. Thanks! ScytheDEM

So i followed steps to basically kill the razer game scanner through services.msc but it said synapse was dependent on the program to function. So as soon as i killed it my rgb settings stopped and it went to the default color shift. Synapse wont launch until i enable the game scanner which i really dont want to do. I wanted to kill it because i found sometimes when i was raiding the software was choking my cpu and i would get massive frame drops which cant happen during raid. Is there a way to control the rgb on my keyboard without running this game scanner?

Hello, guys, I buy Blackwidow X Chroma Mercury edition, can I fit wrist rest pro on it, pls help?

is it RIP or is there anyway to fix the issue? Keyboard currently inoperative.

Pretty much as per title it mutes my CSGO via a command so something in either the keyboard software or the CSGO system is binded the multimedia fast forward key to mute CSGO, only happens when I'm in game super frustrating.

Hello guys, I have been using Turkish Q keyboard with the double quotation mark on the right side of number 1 key. Today I turned on my MacBook Pro and for some reason, the double quotation key decided to turn into the left arrow key (<), even though the Turkish Q keyboard is selected on my Blackwidow Lite. Do you guys have any idea about this? Many thanks, Doruk

Hey there, On Black Friday I ordered a Razer Blackwidow Chroma V2. I had to choose which layout I wanted but I didnt really know the differences. When I got in contact with Razer Support. They said it didnt really matter what layout I choosed because they are all the same. After a conversation with support I went to order my keyboard. A few days later it was delivered but it was not the layout I am used to. I live in The Netherlands so I am used to a QWERTY keyboard. The layout I choosed was Nordic, which is QWERTY as well but has random keys all over the place. Can someone help me or tell me what to do? Thank you very much! -Djim

Can't find it anywhere. Where does one buy this? I can't stand loud mechanical keys.

I have a Cynosa Chroma (had it less than a month) and I have been trying out different effects. I was under the impression that effects could be combined such that if you set up a colour profile with, let's say, a Razer green static effect and then added a ripple effect for one key...let's say, the enter key...in yellow, that when saved, the keyboard will display green across the board but when the enter key is pressed, a 'ripple' yellow will spread from the enter key, returning to green. If the static layer is deleted the ripple layer works but if static and ripple are both active effects, It doesn't work. And neither does the reactive effect. What am I doing wrong or do I have a defective keyboard?

Got the razer huntsman TE a couple days ago and have found it very nice to use for both typing and gaming, however i have one problem, the spacebar is so sensitive just resting my thumb on the key activates it, this isn't a problem for typing but for for gaming my thumb naturally rests on the spacebar, this is causing me to have to keep my thumb outstretched during play which i am finding quite uncomfortable. With all other keys i can rest my finger tips on them without them activating no problem. I was wondering if you kind people have also experienced this? If you have found a fix? And if not what keyboard you could recommend which isn't overly clicky & loud, considering i'm very happy with this keyboard outside of this one issue? Seems a shame that i will have to sell it and replace over this one little issue. thank you all for reading!

I bought a sent back or sorted out Orbweaver and got it slightly discounted. Hardware seems to be absolutely flawless. First painful lesson: synapse 3 obviously doesn’t support the orbweaver. Ok, it’s Beta and shouldn’t be a problem. I also like the general layout and ergonomics. However, I can’t stand the feeling of the keys. I be chosen the orbweaver as it’s meant to have mechanical keys. They are really no match to my Corsair mechanical keyboard keys. They don’t even feel mechanical. They feel floppy and don’t provide a tactile feedback. I tried 2 times but always took my corsair again in the end. I heard there is a stealth version. Maybe I got this? Is there a way to find out?

new member here...This is my first back lit keyboard--a Razer Cynosa Chroma. At first I was a little put off by the multiple colours in different sections of the keyboard. So when I plugged it in, I fooled around a bit in Studio and changed the lighting to a slightly cool green...everything--the background and the keys. I saved that scheme. Now I want to go back to the original scheme but cannot find it. Maybe I saved over it? In any event, I noticed that there is an option to import a scheme. I'm hoping there is a template or a file that can restore that original setting? Even some photos of different colour schemes, somewhere on this site would help. Second question: Is there a way to turn off the background lighting while retaining thei ndividual key lights?

Hi, short question guys will huntsman te be compatible with tenkeyless fit keyboard rest?

Hey, I'm new french member so be humble with my vocabulary. When I use Studio for customize my mouse (Deathadder Elite) the white is right Normaly white is Hex: FFFFFF R:255 G:255 B:255 When I customize my keyboard (Ornata Chroma) the white is light blue !!! For the white I must change the color: Hex: FFB876 R:255 G:184 B:118 Is it the same problem on Synapse 2 ? SO WHY ?

I own both of these keyboards and go back and forth from them regularly. I love both boards, I'm curious what everyone else's thoughts are.

2 years ago I bought my first game pc. I bought a Razer Ornata Chroma keyboard and Razer ManO'War 7.1 headset. Two months ago I noticed that headset cushion was damaged and parts of the material were tearing apart. Due to work I stop playing games in summer season and start on november.You can see the dust on them in the photos below. A few days later I noticed the same on keyboard cushion. Read some other posts on forum, that this was an effect of moisture in case you get sweat. Well my opinion depending on headset damage and the part that I dont sweat easy, is that the quality of cushion quality is the lowest Razer can provide. For me that was the first and last time I purchased any of Razer products. With that high cost to purchase Razer products they could definately provide a better quality for their products. Well I believe that 20$ products are better than Razer. Have fun being fulled by Razer

Hi there, I'm looking for the functionality whereby I press a key, e.g., 10 and this toggles on and off macro 1. However I also want another key, e.g., 11 that toggles on and off macro 2. Here's the rub if macro 1 is running due to pressing the 10 key, and I press the 11 key for macro 2 - I want it to toggle off macro 1. And vice-versa if macro 2 is running and I press key 10. This doesn't seem possible with the standard functionality via Synapse 3 but I was wondering if some manual shenanigans with the profile XML would allow this behaviour.

Saving up for a new keyboard currently and wondering which keyboard I should get because I don't like full size and I love Razer keyboards and these are the only TKL keyboard from Razer that I like.

I want to know if anyone else that has made a profile with macro's and not just a few I mean more than 5+ on a profile and then while using that profile had any of the macro's simply just stop working and not even able to type a single letter with the key that is assigned for that macro. Now once this problem has occurred the only way to get the macro's that aren't working is to end all task with razer in task manager and then reopen razer synapse version 3.4.1024.102510. I need to know if there are more Razer Huntsman Elite keyboards that users have bought and experiencing the same problem with it.

I just bought this keyboard, how can you sell a keyboard today that requires your shitty Synapse 3.0 software to use lightning? I just want my keyboard to have a static Red and no software, NOPE, you gotta use Synapse 3.0 for that! How can you write on your website this has on-board profiles when it only stores macros and keybinds? Maybe put an asterix like "*Not for lightning", because that is what everyone thinks. I'll return this bs keyboard and buy a new k70 rgb instead, how can we not have the keyboard with a static color without your spyware lol at the very least you could've used static as default and not a damn christmas tree "HYBRID ON-BOARD MEMORY AND CLOUD STORAGE: Access personalized settings anywhere". Yeah right!

I have a question about the Tartarus Pro default keybinds (without using software). Since there is no onboard memory on the device, I assume it defaults back to default keybinds without Synapse 3 installed. If that is the case, does the button above the thumbstick default to 'Alt' like it does on the Orbweaver? Or does it default to a 'Cycle Down Keymaps' button as seen on some YouTube reviews?

Hi there, Does anyone know if there are alternative switches for the Razer Huntsman? The keyboard only comes with the one type (green I believe, off the top of my head). They are so loud I can't game with open mic, which is what I prefer. Can anyone recommend alternative switches I could install into the keyboard? Thanks in advance.

I have the Razer Huntsman elite keyboard and I have setup two profiles for CS GO and marco's to buy all the weapons and I am always having the macro to buy a gun on the (W) key and some times the (2) key just stop working and to get the macro to function again I have to keep closing Razer Synapse to get the macro's to work again. The (W) key is the main one that is constantly the problem, the (2) is rare when it stops. I have contacted Razer Support (AU) Online Chat about 4 times so far and they can't fix this issue with the marco's stop working.I'm at the point where is this is Razer Synapse (Beta) problem or is it a warranty job where I have to take it back to the retailer, where I bought it from and get a exchange for a new Razer Huntsman Elite keyboard. I'm asking the Razer Community if this is happening to them and if there is a solution to this annoying problem. I have about 30 Macro's on the profile and it takes up 30% of stored macro's. I hope someone here knows what I'm talkin

The release of the Razer Huntsman TE came with a few changes that many fans have been requesting. Doubleshot PBT keycaps, detachable USB-C cable and a standard bottom row. All quality of life improvements with the addition of the new Opto-Mechanical linear switches for faster-than-ever actuation. What do you all think of these updates? Do you feel like meeting a standard gives the brand and fans more opportunities? Are you glad that linear optical switches are available now? Share your thoughts! This is the Thread of the Week. Good engagement may get good Silver.

So I needed a backlit keyboard of ANY kind. Not even looking for fancy features. Choice fell on Razer Cynosa Chroma because price, and I could not find any simple keyboards with normal backlit keys. Upon the software/drivers, no less than 9!! background processes is started on my computer. I was hoping I could set a basic single color static backlight and close down the software and related background processes, but NO, then the keyboard defaults back to the ever color changing, breathing, obnoxious pattern! Please tell me there's a way to accomplish what I want. Can't the keyboard internally remember my set profile and I can shut down the software? I'm running a slick clean system here, and thats how I like it. If this is not possible I'm going to have to return it. :(
