Razer Synapse

Blackwidow V4 Pro and Synapse 4 installed.If Synapse is running and I run other certain apps, like a music streaming app, multimedia keys don’t work there and volume control stops working. As soon as I exit the music streaming app, volume control shows up reacting to the roll bar with significant delay. But sometimes it stops working at all. Only if I exit Synapse, it’ll be working.I tried all the steps proposed by support documentation, like rei-installation of the keyboard driver, Windows update and clean re-installation of Synapse, but they didn’t work.

I’ve been dealing with a Razer Synapse 4 issue affecting the Tartarus Pro for over a year now.Functionality that worked reliably in Synapse 3 — especially 8-way directional input (diagonal movement) and simultaneous key combinations — is no longer usable in Synapse 4.This is not a minor issue. It represents a clear functional regression.The currently suggested workaround (switching to 4-way input) is not a viable solution, as it significantly limits the usability of the device to the point where it is no longer usable for its intended purpose.At the same time, there is no option to return to Synapse 3, as it has been discontinued.This issue has not only been observed by me, but has also been reported multiple times across the community.At this stage, the question is no longer whether the issue exists — but:Is this a known, unresolved problem —or a deliberate change in functionality within Synapse 4?Given the repeated comm

I have a razer cobra pro, and I was wondering whether i could bump up the brightness during the wired mode and have it reduced when it is wireless. I’m pretty sure the best way to do this is by profile swapping (I mean the cleanest way) but any other way also work. I’m willing to go through any extent in order to make this work so even if it involved other softwares count me in. Thanks!

I just cannot fight version 4 anymore, its absolute trash. Went back to 3 and will deal with any issues after Jan. 20th 2026 or just replace all my gear.

After updating to Razer Synapse 4, my internet connection started dropping for ~30 seconds approximately once per hour. Other devices on the same router (Wi-Fi) worked fine during the drops, confirming the issue is on the PC side.After extensive diagnostics using Windows event logs, I identified the root cause:The following Razer services spam the Windows network stack with hundreds of "hostname changed" events every minute, which eventually causes the connection to drop:- Razer Chroma SDK Server- Razer Chroma SDK Service- Razer Chroma Stream Server- Razer Game Manager Service 3EVIDENCE:With Razer services running (April 23, 2026):Windows event log Microsoft-Windows-NetworkProfile/Operational showed dozens of Event ID 4004 firing every single minute — hundreds per hour, all with "hostname changed: true".With Razer services stopped (April 26-27, 2026):Only ~40 events over two full days, all corresponding to normal

When i try to upload on workshop Chroma effects it dosent upload it works on profile  and macro but not uploads i dont know if its on my side or if its the s4’s problemDid razer stop doing razer chroma effects fixes?I try to find more Chroma effects profiles but its none. Does none buy v4 (Yes i know the switch problem but still)Edit: Tried even with a brand new chroma profile dident work still. Restarted the program also i did.

I’ve already sent this to support but I thought I’ll put this here too.This is an issue I have only on Synapse4.Basically, when ever I cycle keymap(I use 1 as main and 2 for some obscure shortcuts) and use it, Synapse can randomly overwrite the 2nd keymap with the mapping of 1st’s.Here’s a video of me reproducing this issue by spamming keys while cycling, but this has happened multiple times when I’m using Tautarus normally and I don’t spam keys.My temporary solution for this is to dupe the preset so I can switch to it when it happens, delete the original and dupe the dupe for next time...

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

Hello,I would like to report what appears to be a regression in Razer Synapse 4 regarding macro execution speed, compared to Synapse 3.I am using onboard memory profiles with macros created previously in Synapse 3.When Synapse 4 is completely closed, the macros execute instantly with no noticeable delay, exactly as configured (0 ms delay). However, as soon as Synapse 4 is running, a significant delay appears between macro actions - even when the macro itself is set to 0 ms delay.I have prepared two videos that clearly demonstrate this difference in macro execution speed:• Synapse 3 (fast / no delay): https://youtu.be/NsiYelsQUrk• Synapse 4 (noticeable delay):

Queria entender porque o Chroma não reconhece o meu mouse razer se o synapse 4  reconhece

Hey everyone,First off, big thanks to the Razer team for finally bringing Synapse to macOS.I recently bought several Razer products, but I just realized that not all of them are currently supported in the Synapse for macOS. Here’s what I’m using on my setup:MacBook Pro M3 (macOS 15.5)Kiyo Pro Webcam (RZ19-0364)Seiren V3 Chroma (RZ19-0506)Goliathus Chroma Extended Mousepad (RZ02-025003)BlackShark V2 X (RZ04-0324)Basilisk V3 Mouse (RZ01-04000)BlackWidow V4 Keyboard (RZ03-0469) I really hope these devices will be supported very soon as well.  Thanks. 

after installing Zeeray, chrome connect and chrome studio nothing happens and the xiaomi smart lightstrip pro does not appear.

Isopropyl alcohol with a brush or toothbrush helps a lot in maintaining durability and removing all types of residue. I hope this helped.

I’ve got Asus Vivobook laptop, Windows 11 and Synapse 4 installed.Almost everything was just fine until one of the Windows updates.Sound became crackling, distorted with unstable loudness levels.I’ve tried everything, have texted to support: they just said that my earphones were faulty so I got to return them on warranty… I did it, got a new pair and..The issue is still there.Whenever I turn off “Turn on audio enhanements” in Windows settings the problem dissapears along with better sound, eq and stuff. So it’s not an option.So I tried the following:removed everything with razer tool installed synapse 3 instead of synapse 4Everything WORKS JUST FINE.Installed Synapse 4Issue came back.Also I’ve reinstalled every sound and chipset driver in System, manually clean registry and still no results.Seems like Razer Software can’t work properly with Windows up

Sound quality on my Razer Kraken headset has become completely terrible. I’ve tried uninstalling Synapse 4, turning off all effects in the control panel, etc. I’m about ready to throw away this headset and buy a new one from a different company. Is there a cleanup tool that will delete everything and then I can try again before I throw this in the trash? This is so disappointing considering how expensive this headset was.

With a lot of people moving from Windows to CachyOS and other Linux distributions, I am yet another person asking the question of Razer:When will you provide official support for Razer products and Synapse on Linux?

I want my CTRL key to also send U key presses, but I want it to keep it's original behavior. My Corsair keyboard has an option called "retain original input" which makes it exactly do what I want.I tried to setup a macro on my CTRL key in razer synapse but the issue is it will send CTRL and U but then I cannot "hold" CTRL (to crouch in-game for example), it blocks the original behavior completely.Is this not possible in synapse ?

I'm using a Razer Blade 18 2025 laptop. How do I set Razer Synapse 4 to not overwrite the icm color profile I added in Windows 11? I set the color profile via color management in Windows 11, save it as the default profile. After restarting, whenever Synapse 4 starts, it overwrites my profile with the default profile in Synapse 4. It worked fine for me on the previous installation, but I don't know why it's not working for me now? I noticed that I previously had a custom color profile filled in directly in Synapse 4, but now there is an empty field, see the picture. I'm using a graphics card in optimus mode. Can you please help me? Thank you! 

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.

So, I currently play gta online and hear to music while I play, I currently have a razer huntsman v2 as my main keyboard and I use the razer sypnases 4 software since I also have other razer products.The issue is that when I play gta online, for some reason the media keys act as a other keys. For example: The previous song acts as a Q, which makes me to change radio, a bit of annoying sometimes. The Stop/Resume song, acts as the G, which makes blow C4’s, also annoying And the skip song, acts as to pause the menu, which is more annoying.I have found out that is mainly the razer sypnase 4 software since I have tried to play gta without and it doesn’t happen, and no, I don’t use any macros and either my default profile of the keyboard has no change.I honestly don’t know how to fix this, maybe I should go back to razer sypnase 3 and wait till this issue is fixed?
