Kraken V4 Pro OLED control hub

Hi there,

 

I have recently purchased the Kraken V4 Pro.

How do I make the control hub screen always on? One of the reasons I got it is so I can constantly see the battery level of the headset. I have tried tweaking the settings every which way, and it just goes black after a couple of minutes. After it goes black I feel like it just becomes completely useless, pretty much just a very expensive paper weight.

Seriously, I can’t see the point of its existence without having the screen always on? Otherwise what's the point in using an OLED screen? I have volume control on my keyboard, my headset and my mouse. Synapse is easier to use than the control hub for settings. The headset is also easier to use than the control hub for the basic settings. What is the point of this device if the screen can’t be always on? The screensaver is a complete waste without displaying some form of useful telemetry.

 

Thanks.

Since I posted this question I have figured out the sad truth: the designers chose to have an OLED display but didn’t include any possibility of setting the screen to be always on. In my view this completely neuters the purpose of the device, making it completely useless.

This is extremely embarrassing for the designers and Razer. With the current scenario being that always on is impossible, there is no point at all of it being OLED. It might as well have been back lit. And even then, I can’t see the point in this device. In it’s current state, the control hub is a silly marketing gimmick that literally does nothing. It doesn’t even illuminate when you turn the headphones on!

Certainty not “Full Immersion. Full Control.” More like “Some Immersion. No Control.”

I have also posted a 1 star review on Amazon.

Hi

I couldn’t agree more. 

I have just purchased V4 Pro and I am disappointed that the OLED display cannot be on all the time. Besides I still fighting and however hard I try I cannot send “System Information” to Home Screen Display.

A warning appears : “ HOME SCREEN DISPLAY You selected Home Screen display was not applied successfully to the device. You can revert to the previous image or retry your last selection” 

I have no idea what I should do.

I’d appreciaty for any piece of advice.
