Synapse 4 Keyboard layout is wrong for mouse mapping: only US, not the windows keyboard

THE ISSUE:

My keyboard is (not US layout) > Swiss/German > e.g. ends in keys G H J K L ö ä $

Synapse 4 Keyboard function does not map “ $ ” but “ ‘ ” (physical key position on US Keyboard)

If you state that it should be a symbol “ $ “ Synapse 4 maps it as SHIFT-4  (originating position on US Keyboard)

And when you play a game with this mapped key it does … SHIFT-4 not the dollar sign, and that is for keys that are withing the US keyboard spectrum, keys like ö are not mapped.
 

SOLTION: I dont know.

 

This really bugs me that anno 2025 this is still an issue.

I have the exact same problem on my CH-layout keyboard. It’s really annoying. There is a ton of completely useless bloatware on Razer Synapse 4.0. But what i really need it cannot provide.

I’m experiencing exactly the same issue. Ever since I upgraded from Razer Synapse 3 to version 4, the key mappings for German umlauts (ä, ö, ü, etc.) no longer work when assigned to my mouse. I’ve always used these otherwise rarely needed characters for mouse buttons in all my games, and now all my carefully set up profiles are broken. This is extremely frustrating.

It’s really disappointing that such a fundamental issue - forcing a US keyboard layout — has not been addressed for months, and even more frustrating that there has been no response from Razer in this thread. What’s the point of having a support forum if obvious bugs and user reports are simply ignored?

Please fix this - it’s a serious issue for many of your users.

Hi everyone,

 

Same problem with Synapse 4.0.86.2505230700 and a French AZERTY Razer Hunstman V2 analog

.

Does it seriously seems that Razer produces AZERTY keyboards but doesn’t care at all if it works or not for some of us?

The keyboard is used as an QWERTY by synapse even though it works in AZERTY as it should in windows which makes impossible to use the optic option an configure it properly for gaming. That was why I bought the keyboad for and so it is useless.

 

Do you guys find a solution?

 

If not, we, AZERTY keyboard users, need a patch, please!

 

Thank you Razer team!!!
