Synapse 4 gets stuck at detecting device


When I try to install/add a new device to Synapse 4, the process gets stuck at “Detecting device”.

I have Synapse v4.0.86.2503071049 installed.

 

This same thing happened with 3 different mice:

  • Basilisk V3 X Hyperspeed
  • Basilisk Ultimate
  • Basilisk V3 Pro

They have been tested on 4 different computers (one notebook with Win11, 3 desktops with Win10), with different USB connectors. The result is the same.

 

All 3 mice are detected correctly within Windows, so their basic functions work.

 

Only the default Windows Defender is used, and RazerAppEngine is allowed through the firewall.

 

The workaround “solution” is that I have to install Synapse 3 first. Synapse 3 correctly detects and installs the required mice settings. Then I upgrade to Synapse 4, and the mice now appear correctly in Synapse 4 as well. This worked for all 3 mice.

 

So with this workaround all 3 mice can be used (and apparently they do not have any hardware issues). But this is definitely not the expected behaviour from Synapse 4.

This seem to be a  software bug, please fix.

I have the same problem with my Razer Kraken V4. Funnily enough, connecting the headset to both the 2.4GHz dongle and Bluetooth 'fixes' the problem.

Did you tried to log out and in to your synapse? I had this kind of issue too. 
I used the “trouble shooting software” from Razer

Now I am stuck at the Point where my headset profile isnt synching the game-mode for my games.
