How to Bind a Keyboard Key to Work as Hypershift Key for My Mouse?

I just got a Razer Ornata V3 X keyboard and a Naga V2 Hyperspeed MMO mouse, and I love them both. I’m new to Razer products, having ditched Logitech since they quit making the G600 and mine finally quit working, and frankly, I wish I would’ve switched sooner. I *love* Razer.

And after some research and a lot of caffeine, I think I finally understand the (complex) concepts involved in the amazing Hypershift system, except for one (major) issue. On my G600 I just used the G-Shift button to extend the functionality of its buttons, which was straightforward, and it was very easy to reach using my ring finger. Compared to Razer’s Hypershift it’s simple and less customizable, but it’s also more straightforward. (I can’t believe I’m saying the G600’s 40 buttons are limiting lol!). The only problem with Hypershift is understanding how it works, but as I said, I think I finally do...at least 99%.

The only issue I’m having in that area is that I’ve read (in a few places) that it’s possible to bind, for example, a Synapse keyboard key to Hypershift and have that activate my mouse’s Hypershift function; that is, binding a keyboard key to act as the Hypershift key for my mouse. I know that’s a complex functionality, and may seem like asking for a lot of my new hardware, but then it is Razer.

The reason I want to do this is that I can’t find a single key on my mouse that, when bound to Hypershift, provides access to all the other mouse buttons, which limits the number of alternate bindings I can use. So if I bind Hypershift to a “top” mouse button, it’s awkward to press another top button, and likewise with the side buttons. Thus, I thought of using a Synapse-compatible keyboard key as my mouse’s Hypershift “proxy”, if that makes sense. And after reading around the Web, realized I’m clearly not the only one who thinks this would be a good idea.

But I have yet to find any way to do so. I’ve tried the Inter-device and Hypershift tabs on the binding modal, but there isn’t a Hypershift option on the Inter-device one, and it doesn’t specify an option for another device on the Hypershift tab, so I don’t know how to do so. Firstly, do I just bind a keyboard key to Hypershift and then it activates my mouse’s alternate bindings? And secondly, if so, does that mean it would also activate my keyboard’s Hypershift binding set, which could prove awkward depending on profile settings?

Anyway, I apologize for the lengthy post, and hope it’s not too boring or tedious to read, but it’s a complex issue (or at least seems so to me) that I can’t seem to solve after a week of trying very hard, so any help from my fellow Gamers would be greatly appreciated! Maybe it is asking too much, but I don’t think so...?

Well, Happy New Year’s everyone, and thanks in advance! o7 =) <3

Hi! Hope you all are doing well! Happy New Year to you too! Apologies for the delay.
I haven't visited this forum for a while.

Without wanting to seem arrogant or overbearing, before I answer you I need to introduce myself so you understand that I know what I'm talking about:

I have been using Razer products since 2019.
I love the concept that Razer brings and it has always been my dream to have their products.
However, since there isn't much information about Razer products in more depth, I felt the need to explore their limits.
And in these more than 5 years using Razer, I have explored and learned a lot. And today I still feel that there is still a lot to explore and try.
And on this path that I took, I felt that I could do more and help people to know everything that Razer can do with games. That's why I've been trying to explore Razer's software and games to the fullest for all these years.


So let's get to the action:
You have two options to do what you want: the temporary option and the permanent one.
Hypershift is the temporary option, while Inter-Device is the permanent option.
Both can be bound to almost any key on your keyboard [except the essential ones like the Windows key and, if your keyboard has one, the fn (function) key and the left mouse button (if you haven't bound another mouse button to act as the left button)].

 

Hypershift is a feature that changes all devices that support it, not only a specific one. But, it only changes while it is pressed, after release all devices come back to "normal mode".

Inter-device is a feature that changes a specific device. So if you want to change only the mouse, you can. But, it changes to another profile, not to the "Hypershift Mode" in that same profile. If you have a lot of profiles, you need to bind two keys with Inter-device, each with the "specific" profile you want to activate. But if you have only two profiles in the mouse, you just need one key with Inter-device with a "cycle up" or "cycle down" profile mode. Of course, there are more options you can use with Inter-device, but I think you can start with one of these two and see if it works well for you.


Trivia: one of my keyboards, a Razer Huntsman, has a "fn" key, this key works by default as Hypershift. So, maybe your keyboard could have this default function too.

Trivia2: I love these keyboards so much that I use 3 keyboards at the same time: Tartarus Pro, Huntsman and now Black Widow V4 Pro 75% (thank you Razer Team 💚🐍)

Have a nice gaming!
