Hi , i wrote a guide before about 4 months ago on how to change from French AZERTY to UK QWERTY by editing the synapse software files because you have NO option to change the keyboard layout in the software and it doesn't read the layout from Windows it takes what it is set to on the original keyboard firmware which isn't available online so it can’t be edited that way either!
What this means for users like me is that if you were to change all AZERTY keycaps physically with UK QWERTY keycaps and then select a UK QWERTY layout in windows 10 or 11 the keyboard will work fine in every program on windows except ironically Razer Synapse itself.
What i mean by this is that if you go to the MACROS section of the keyboard menu in synapse you will STILL see the keys listed as if it’s still on a AZERTY layout which is really really annoying if you want to set MACROS!!! There should be a option in Synapse to change the layout from within the RAZER software to match what you set it to on windows instead of just blindly following the firmware info for the layout.
If i was able to mod the older version of the software 4 or 5 months ago to do this then the devs can certainly make this a official feature/option in the synapse software and would be a massive help to those who maybe bought a AZERTY/QWERTY by mistake and swapped the keys over.
Question
English UK keyboard layout in Windows is NOT reflected in the synapse software!!!!
I have figured out how to change it again and updated the guide i wrote before but would still like this to be a option that can be changed on synapse instead of having to dig around in .dat files to find the QWERTY layout.
