Razer Synapse

I’ve used the Razer skill to set up lighting routines for a couple years.  It suddenly stop working in Synapse3.  Went through the steps of reconnecting the amazon and razer accounts, and it completes as usual but the skill never enables in Alexa.  Installed Synapse4 with same results.

I ran into an issue with Razer Synapse 4 not showing wireless battery percentage for 2 different wireless models. Both are listed as officially supported and backwards compatible with Synapse 3 and both had the same exact issue with no battery percentage displaying. I uninstalled Synapse 4 and reinstalled Synapse 3. BAM! I can now see all wireless mouse battery percentages. I attempted to troubleshoot with support but it took way too long to get valuable responses and I’m not interested in downloading a software log capture tool. Will check out Synapse 4 at a later date perhaps.I thought I’d post this for anyone who has a similar problem as all of the threads I’ve seen are requesting PM’s and don’t show a resolution status or troubleshooting steps.

I’m here simply to advocate for Linux support. I have 3 Razer devices, headphones, keyboard and mouse and they struggle to work with Linux. Us Linux users should not have to settle for third part software like OpenRazer. While I respect their work it should not be on them to have to make these tools. We paid money for our devices, we expect support on Linux. 

So, I’m obviously not the first person to say this, which makes it even more infuriating, but Synapse 4 is the worst experience I’ve ever had with a software in my life. I don’t understand how a supposed “upgrade” to Synapse 3 is STILL a broken and buggy mess this long after it’s been launched, when Synapse 3 worked perfectly fine. If I could, I’d just stay with Synapse 3 indefinitely, but of course, Razer is forcing everyone to switch over within the next few months. I’ll just start with the main minor inconvenience I’ve dealt with: Synapse 4 takes absolutely forever to start up. So instead of seeing the custom profile that’s stored in my keyboards’ onboard memory, I see the generic ugly solid orange, green etc., until I fully log in and wait 10-15 seconds. This isn’t the end of the world, but definitely an annoyance, because with Synapse 3, it was pretty much instant and even started up when I was still on my computer’s log-in screen. What is even the point of having

Three years ago, I discovered that Razer Synapse's macro recording was completely unable to record in-game mouse and keyboard actions. Even today, after purchasing a powerful desktop computer, the latest Razer mouse and keyboard, and installing the latest Razer Synapse, this problem still hasn't been resolved!I'm forced to manually edit my macro scripts line by line outside of the game window, which is incredibly inefficient.If I can't record any actions within the game, why would I even use Razer Synapse's macro?😡

I have a Deathstalker Pro. Using it with default keybinds is fine. For programs that make the distinction between Enter and Num-Enter, it works as intended.However, if I want to re-program a key or mouse button to ‘Enter’ in Synapse 4, the software will always recognise it as ‘Num-Enter’. Input: EnterOutput: Num-EnterThis isn’t my area of expertise, but I believe Enter and Num-Enter share a code, and therefore the distinction has to be made by a secondary parameter. Or maybe you need to sacrifice a lamb to an old Macintosh? I don’t programming.  Considering how commonplace the distinction is in software, this severely limits the usability of programmable keys..QUESTION: Does anyone have a workaround? Is this something that could be solved reasonably easily?

 As shown above, Synapse remains in the dock even after I close the window. I have to use ⌘ + Q to quit it to prevent it from constantly appearing in the dock.I recently switched from Logi Options+, so I believe it should be possible to hide the icon while running in the background.Additionally, the icon does not align with the new design introduced in macOS 26.I hope the developers can work out a fix for this. My Envirnoment:Macbook Pro 14” (M1 Pro)macOS 26.0.1 (25A362)

I keep getting this error after installing Synapse 4 and trying to run it for the first time.I have tried many of the fixes I could find like disconnecting razer peripherals, using 7zip to unzip and then using the installer from the unzipped folder, run as administrator etc.Any ideas?

For a while now Razer Synapse 4 was working great and I had no issues with it but today I opened it and it started to crash over and over a few seconds after opening - at one point it looked like it was going to try to install an update but then it said installation failed and crashed. I tried restarting my laptop and also uninstalling synapse and going to the website to download the latest version of the installer and reinstalling it but this also failed. I am running on a razer blade 18 (2024) with rtx4090 and intel core i9 14900hx on windows 11 latest udate

Hey all, Synapse 4 was working perfectly fine until I decided to give it a refresh by closing it from the system tray. I relaunched it, it automatically updated, and now my laptop (Razer Blade 16 2025) is not being detected. It’s listed as ‘disconnected’ under connected devices.I have uninstalled it, repaired it, performed a windows update, and rebooted my laptop multiple times to no avail.  It seems like a random update to synapse caused this issue, since it was working perfectly fine until I restarted synapse. I use synapse for smart battery charging, etc, so I am kind of reliant on it working properly.  Coming here to see if anyone else is experiencing this issue. 

After 6 months of the preview, I have uninstalled the application on macOS. Below is a list of continued issues (that have been reported numerous times on this forum) with no resolution. Application does not run in the system tray. While there is a system tray icon for Synapse, if you “Quit” (CMD+Q) Synapse, to get rid of the window, the system tray icon (and thus background process) quits. If the window is closed, then it should disappear from the “ALT-TAB” window listing and run like every other macOS app that has a system tray icon.

I created a new profile, but when I try to log in, I get the text error "Emily 401." The app just takes forever to load.Can you tell me what the problem is?

Just bought a Blackshark V3 headset and wanted to test out the THX Game Profiles for Battlefield 6. They posted on Razer official facebook page that it was added in October 2nd. I can’t activate it. I checked several posts on reddit and V3 owners have the same issue while the older headphones are working fine with the THX profile. This is false advertising and I want to ask ,what are you waiting for RAZER TO ADD IT FOR YOUR NEW HEADSETS!!! THEY WON’T FIX UNTIL ENOUGH PEOPLE COMPLAIN ON SOCIAL MEDIA. What incompetence!! 

Using the most up to date version of Synapse 4 and have Huntsman V3 TKL and Blackwidow V4 75%. Here’s the issue I’m encountering:When I first plug in each of the keyboards, Synapse 4 shows the usual thing of the firmware getting installed and a Windows notification to restart which is perfectly fine and normal.  However after that whenever I disconnect one keyboard and plug in the other, I get a Windows notification again that a restart is needed, which should not be happening.  On top of that if I don’t restart the computer, whenever I use the volume wheel, instead of the volume going up or down it scrolls the webpage up and down instead.
