Tartarus Pro D-Pad Macros Reset When Binding Other Keys – Only Fix Was Downgrading to Synapse 3

Hello Razer Support Team and Community,

I’m experiencing exactly the same issue that others has with my Razer Tartarus Pro after the latest Synapse 4 and Windows update:

  • If I reset the device to factory defaults and define macros for the D-Pad first, these functions work perfectly — immediately after remapping, everything is fine.

  • However, as soon as I assign functions or macros to any of the other keys on the keypad, the D-Pad macros are reset back to default (up/down/left/right), even though they appear correctly assigned in the software.

This is clearly a software bug specific to Synapse 4, and not a hardware issue.

The only workaround that actually resolved it for me was to completely uninstall Razer Synapse 4 and reinstall Razer Synapse 3 (legacy) — after doing so, the D-Pad macros work properly, even when assigning functions to other keys.

Given that Razer has indicated plans to phase out Synapse 3, right now, Synapse 3 is the only version that actually works correctly with the Tartarus Pro.

Razer — please fix this in Synapse 4. The current situation is highly frustrating, as users are forced to downgrade just to have basic functionality of the D-Pad.

Thank you.

Same issues here as of 09:45 8/11/2025. This put the final nail in the coffin for razer for me.
