Peripherals (Mouse/Keyboard) disconnect many times | Razer Insider
Skip to main content
I'm really getting tired of this. Throughout the day both my Razer mouse and Razer keyboard disconnect and reconnect. I can be typing or hovering over something when it happens. I made sure that all USB power settings are set correctly. This doesn't happen if the Synapse software isn't installed. When using Synapse 3.0 it happens 3 times more than Synapse 2.0.
Anyone got an answer? Tried all the usb power stuff and it did not help. Please, there has to be a fix.

Wanted to post an update of sorts here. Since my last post a few months ago, I have been solely using Synapse 2. Zero disconnects. This is clearly a Synapse 3.0 issue, so I would avoid using that for now. Only drawbacks are limited customization compared to 3.0, but hey, I’ll take working devices over that any day. I currently have my Ornata and Lancehead directly connected to my USB ports, with my Firefly connected to a USB hub. One Chroma device per port seems to work the best, and I have 4 other things connected to the hub with no issues (unless I try to use an external hard drive but that’s another story). The fix that works for me is Synapse 2. Not sure if it’s universal, but I thought I would share.




I also found uninstalling Synapse 3 and opting for Synapse 2 to be the best possible solution. Unfortunate I can't use all my favorite customization features Synapse 3 has to offer, but I can't have my devices disconnecting every 15 seconds. I tried numerous other solution, spent hours trying to diagnose the issue and it almost certainly is an issue with Synapse 3. Very concerning Razer is not acknowledging this issue nor have deployed a fix.



I will note: that my headset (but not my other peripherals) still disconnects now then, but much less frequently as it was before. The headset continues to make a "pop" sound, disconnect, then reconnect 3 seconds later.

Yeah I guess I'll have to
truly I think the only solution any of us are gonna get is to just simply wait for razer to fix this issue.

It's just sad because it seems to have even been going on years ago
I found a permanent "fix"!



So I'm new to Razer products and just purchased the Razer Basilisk Essential... only to have it stop working every few minutes until it reconnects again. Read through a bunch of forums and tried every power setting suggested with no luck. I agreed with some of the users on here who say it has to be a power draw or something... so, I simply tried turning my LED lights off through the Synapse software. Voilá! It's working fine now. LED's shouldn't draw that much power, but there must be a setting somewhere that Razer needs to fix with this. I tried turning the LED light back on to see if the issue came back and it did. I turned it back off again and so far, no problem. I don't really care about the LED lights, so this isn't a huge issue with me and I guess I'll keep the mouse as I like it otherwise.



I hope this helps some of you.
it is now 2020, and i am having the same issue on my HUNTSMAN TE.

any fix on this till now? or isit possible that its a faulty product?
Ok so thankfully i realized i'm not the only one with this weird/stupid/irritating issue! I have an orbweaver, the mouse mat, the mamba, and an ornata chroma keyboard. i have been searching, tweaking, rebooting, disabling and just wasting a crap load of time trying to figure out why windows keeps disconnecting and reconnecting my usb ports, even on a fresh install of windows and everything ... I have tweaked so many settings in windows now it crazy. I uninstalled razer's v3 software over an hour ago and haven't had any issues as of yet.



UPDATE, it took about an hour and the devices went through the disconnect/reconnect, then I unistalled the v2 software I needed for my orbweaver and it hasn't done it since. I'm installing windows again on a larger mechanical hdd, i have not installed any razer software and I have had one disconnect/reconnect at all...



UPDATE: A week later, still not one disconnect/reconnect issue. I have not installed any of the Razer software still so my orbweaver is currently a paperweight.
I've been fighting this issue for two years now when I built my last system and unfortunately bought my Keyboard/Mouse/BaseStation and headphones from Razer.



The only solution I've ever found was to uninstall Synapse 3 and just not use the RGB lights. What a waste of money.



Swapped USB Ports, purchased a new USB 3.0 powered hub, Reformatted,

Set all USB devices to never power down

Had same issue in windows 10, turns out in an update there is a USB power management called "USB Selective Suspend Setting" that was killing power briefly and causing constant disconnects my Razer gear.

Edit Power Plan > Change Advanced Power Settings > USB Settings > USB Selective Suspend Setting > Change to Disabled > Hit Apply and do a reboot

Have a good gaming session!

Yes, thats it: no more Razer Software, no more problems. (But useless expensive devices).

Still a never ending story of an unable driver delvelopment team.

I have heard this can be happening because of an issue with your bios

I have been suffering the same issue.

I have an Asus Tuf laptop with a Deathadder Elite and a Blackwidow Elite.

Keyboard and mouse disconnecting at random moments, multiple instances of a letter/number after the key has been released, as if a key has been held down.

Tried all the suggested solutions but none worked, altering settings in windows and removing software.

Due to the lack of USB ports on the laptop, I had been using a powered docking station.

Have tried three different ones/types, and powered USB 2 and USB 3 hubs, all with no success.

Finely, tried connecting mouse direct to laptop USB 2 port, and the keyboard to a direct USB 3 connection, using the spare USB 3 connection to connect my USB 3 hub and docking station.

Reinstalled Synapse 3 software and all is working correctly, at long last.

It would seem that Synapse 3 likes the hardware to be directly connected to the computer, no hubs or docking stations accepted.

I hope this holds out, and helps you.
i am have the same connecting and disconnecting issue. now i uninstall the Synapse 3.0, keyboard and mouse are working fine again now.
Even when I deleted Synapse 3.0, the issue persisted, just not as often. Since I have moved both keyboard and mouse to direct PC connections, I haven't had a single drop out yet, even with Synapse 3.0 running.
