Hello Wolf. yeah the issue is solved. the solution is to install synapse on the razer website and not from the auto installer from the razer devices.

Good to hear it's solved now. Let me know how you like GameDog in general and what you're missing!

Sorry if this has already been answered previously, is this working on the Stealth?

What isn't working? There shouldn't be any update needed for 1.18. If you're experiencing issues with wrong keys lighting up, then that's a failed update and you might need to uninstall synapse and the SDK via programs and features then download and install latest version from the razer website.

Yes it should work on the Blade Stealth (if that's the stealth you mean) 🙂

oh thanks for the info.. after an update from synapse it stopped working completely, so i thought maybe gamedog wasnt compatible.. but your suggestion solved it for me

Awesome, thanks! If you ever need things tested on the Stealth I'd be happy to help out. I'll be tinkering with the SDK as well.

weird after the new update not working on my blackwidow chroma

What exactly isn't working?
When you open it, does it play the green starting animation?
Does it do anything once you start the Game?
I'm testing with a blackwidow chroma and the update didn't change anything related to that, so it's really weird the update would cause anything like that.

EDIT:
Or do you mean the Synapse update? Cause that can cause issues which are fixed by uninstalling Synapse and the SDK and reinstalling from the Razer website.

Hi. I'm kinda new here. I have just installed my new razer mamba and firefly aswell GameDog v2.0. I've followed all the steps but somehow it doesnt work at all with my cs:go. Do you suggest to uninstall SDK and razer synapse completely and then just install razer synapse from website? If so will SDK install automatically ?

and btw which one is better for cs:go GameDog 2.0 or ChromaSync

As a new install you should take a look here for possible reasons:

Even so there isn't a competition going on as both tools are good for their own purpose, asking that here is a bit like asking Nvidia if AMD is better for playing CS:GO ;-)
All I can say is: Let me know if you miss something when using GameDog and I'll see if I can help you archiving what you need. 🙂

I think it's funny you are Nividia and ChromaSync is AMD, that was definitely on purpose 😉

seems like there's a bug.. my brand new deathadder chroma sometimes completely 'dies' while using gamedog. I have to un and replug it to have it work again. I wonder if it has something to do with trying to do more fancy animations for mamba?

Hm. I don't have a Deathadder here to test but I doubt it's a bug in GameDog directly as the SDK itself doesn't distinct between Devices. It sends Effects to all Mice connected no matter what kind of mouse it is. But it can be an issue in the Chroma SDK itself.
How often does this happen?
Are you doing anything special like do you turn off the game and it breaks or is it just random?

There are a few things I can think of:

1. As there were issues lately with broken SDK updates I'd suggest to uninstall Synapse AND the SDK via Programs and Files and reinstall it from the Razer website. I haven't heard of an issue like that before but the SDK gets in a weird state when that happens so everything might be possible.

2. If that doesn't help try enabling "Keep chroma focus" in Settings which disables the switch between Synapse and GameDog for now as it can be that the Deathadder has troubles with the switch yet.

3. Are you using an USB Hub?
Maybe something is interrupting the connection between the mouse and your computer. Try if a direct connection works better.

Please let me know if any of that fixed it for you. Maybe it's a faulty device but I'll try to get this tested within the next days.

Thank you for your thorough reply.
I will test it some more and see if I can determine when exactly it is happening.
Playing competitively I have chosen not to use it for my official matches atm for obvious reasons :p
So I will play a bit more casual to test.
Will come back to you!

That's really intresting as it's the second report of the DeathAdder to freeze.
I will see if I can find out what is causing this.
Take a look at my response here and try to test these things if possible:

@wristdrake @sirlouie:
Does the Deathadder lock up completly as in becomes unresponsive or does this only affect the lighting?

Is the Chroma SDK Service running? You can check that via Task Manager -> Services. And take a look for "Razer Chroma SDK Service". It should have the "Running" state. Otherwise take a look at C:\\Users\\USERNAME\\AppData\\Roaming\\GameDog\\logs there should be an error logged. Send me this error via Conversation here and I'll take a look 🙂

Hi,
Yes it completely freezes during or while in-game and not responding to any clicks and the lightings are static but keyboard is responsive (ctrl+alt+del, etc.).

I will try your recommendations from the link you provided and will report back.

Having the same deathadder freezing issue in Dota2. I actually just lost a ranked match because of it and I had bet 1K coins.

fuck.

If you unplug and plug back in it fixes. but by then you are dead. and It will freeze again later.

Sorry for that. It seems like the Razer SDK is having troubles with the Deathadder. I'm trying to figure out what the problem is. How often does this happen?
