Razer Synapse for Mac Preview

Hi,I have a Mac mini M4 with an internal storage of 256 GB. To reduce my storage cost, I use an external SSD (named ExtSSD in log file) and place my User Home Folder on this external SSD. I have 2 users on my Mac:- BootUser, an useless user on internal storage: /Users/bootuser- Vallevert, my user on my external SSD: /Volumes/ExtSSD/Users/Vallevert I installed Synapse with the official installer, no problem here.When I launch Synapse on BootUser, the software works normally.But, when I launch Synapse on Vallevert, the software returns me a pop-up:“Software not readyThis app is installed for another user.Install it on your account to use it.”Button 1: “Download and Install”Button 2: “Cancel” If I reinstall it, nothing changes, same problem.I found a way to use Synapse on my main user (Vallevert). I go to “/Users/vallev

Thank you very much to the Razer team for developing drivers for macOS. I am a Pro Click Mini user, and I would like to know when support for the Pro Click Mini will be available?

When will you add support for the Razer Seiren V3 Chroma RGB USB Microphone?

Hello,I recently discovered an issue on my M2 Mac Studio where I was unable to open Hearthstone.Anytime I opened it, it would crash.After a lot of head scratching, digging into config files, and finally just wiping the SSD and installing a fresh version of Tahoe…I still had the problem!My post on the Hearthstone forums sat for days before there was any notice/traction and another person finally responded to say that Hearthstone worked after quitting the Synapse App.I tested this myself and sure enough, after quitting Synapse, Hearthstone ran without issue.Has anyone else run into this issue?If so, are there any solutions for it or are we just stuck with, “Close Synapse in order to play Hearthstone” until a fix is released?

I’m recently bought a Huntmans V3 Pro Mini to connect to my mac mini along side a viper v3 pro for when I decide to do some cloud gaming.  The Viper is identified and connected in Synapse (V4) but the huntsman does not seem to want to show as connected, even though I am typing with it right.  I just am unable to use any of the additional functionality ie. set the arrow keys to the right side shift keys or change the color in Chroma.I’m not sure I can do.  I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled Synapse.  Disconnected my keyboard multiple times.  Delete the devices from Synapse and let it get identified and reinstalled but it still wants to show as disconnected.  

Hello everyone, first time razer customer here. I picked up a Tatarus V2 after seeing some people online talk about how great it works for video editing (my profession).  I got really excited about it, but was sad to see that it isn’t supported in the synapse for max preview yet. My question is: is it planned to ever be supported on synapse for Mac? Will products as old as the Tartarus be included in this new software? Or should I just return the Tartarus to Best Buy Thanks 

A few days ago I was prompted to update Synapse, including a reboot for a driver update, if I’m remembering it correctly. Later, when I went to play a particular game through Steam, it started immediately crashing on launch. After trying several things to fix it, I remembered the Razer update. After quitting out of the Synapse app, the game launched without issue.Going through my library, I found four games that crash immediately on launch when Synapse is running (with or without any devices connected) but work fine if it’s not. The games that are crashing are Epistory, Kind Words, Kind Words 2, and Squeakross, and the only thing I can find in common between them is that they’re all built with Unity, but other Unity games I tried work fine.[I’m on an M1 MacBook Air running macOS 26.2 and Synapse for Mac 4.0.86.2601140839 with a Basilisk V3 Pro.]On a positive note, hiding Synapse from the Dock finally works! Yay!

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.

The title really says it all - i'm so happy that Synapse Preview finally launched for Mac, but my Naga V2 Hyperspeed isn't supported. Given that the Naga V2 Pro is supported, but not the Naga V2 Hyperspeed, I’m really hoping the team would be open to adding support for it. Is posting here the best way to pass this request on to the team?? Specifically for me, it's one of the best options for video editing software like davinci resolve. Would be great for the large Mac creative community to be able to utilize it for these use-cases, as the pickings are relatively slim, and the work arounds are tedious.Thanks in advance!!

I am curious, are there plans or any existing workarounds to support the Deathstalker V2 Pro keyboard on macOS (latest version, e.g. macOS Sequoia v15.1.1 at time of this writing)? Looking forward to your replies!  

I just bought the Razer Blackshark V3 Pro and wanted update the firmware. When I connect my headset to the Mac it doesn’t even recognize the headset in the Synapse software. What is the work around?

I am a long time Tartarus user, I used it extensively to speed up y work as a movie sound editor. I had to stop using the Tartarus when Razer cancelled Synapse compatibility with Mac Os. Please Razer! Add the Tartarus to you compatible devices list. Many professionnels like me are waiting for you! I will make a video on how to integrate Tartarus with Pro Tools and other Daws and you will sell many! 

Hello,I’d like to share a few issues I’ve encountered while using Razer Synapse on macOS.  My intention in writing this post is twofold:1. To help these issues be recognized and hopefully improved.2. To learn whether there are already known solutions or workarounds, and to share that information if available.Before getting into the details, here is my current setup:- Razer BlackWidow V4 Pro 75%- Razer Cobra ProNow to the main points. I’ve personally experienced two major inconveniences.The first issue is related to modifier keys such as Control, Command, and Option. These keys appear to be registered as if they are pressed multiple times, even when pressed only once.  For example, when trying to register hotkeys in third-party applications, having Synapse installed causes Command or Option to be detected as if they were pressed twice or more.At first, I suspected this might be a conflict with specific applicatio

 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 recently purchased a Deathstalker V2, and I was disappointed to see that Synapse for Mac does not include support for Deathstalker V2. Hoping this will be added soon.

Hey, Razer PLEASE add support for the DeathAdder essential mouse on Synapse for Mac Preview. Thanks!Love you!

In the Synapse Customize tab for the Naga V2 Pro, there are 4 pictures, 3 represent the 3 different side button panels you can have installed. The one currently installed has a green check mark, however if you change the panel out on the mouse the check mark does not move to the newly installed side panel, it stays on the one that was installed when Synapse started. You have to restart Synapse for it to recognize what side panel is installed. Razer Naga V2 Pro, Firmware Version 1.3.0.0 (latest) on the Mac Synapse 4 Preview Version 4.0.86.2504290730, on MacOs 15.5.

…. didn‘t support the Razer Naga Left Hand Edition? There are so many left-handed people! Many would surely love to use RNLH on their Macs. Please take this into account in the next update! Thank you in advance from a left-handed person who no longer wants to feel disadvantaged.  

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. Razer Naga V2 Support The only way my custom keybinds work is to close the synapse app compltelty. When open, my side buttons do not execute the action assigned in the profile. So in order to modify and test it I need to open syanpse, modify the profile, quit Synapse, test the key bind. Keys sticking Of you alt tab out of your current application while also pressing a c

Synapse for Mac is relentlessly opening the system settings, prompting me to grant it permissions that it has absolutely no business asking for.I’m using a mouse with no RGB lighting, so Screen & System Audio Recording is unnecessary. Full Disk Access? Seriously? That’s a huge ask for an app that adjusts my mouse sensitivity. I don’t even need Bluetooth access, because this mouse has a dongle. It’s one thing to ask, but when the app is open, it constantly pops open the dialog asking for these things, and if you focus the window, it will open the related pages in the system settings. It’s extremely intrusive.

So I can’t get my Razer naga V2 pro to show up on my synapse for MAC despite being on the supported items list. is this a common issue, or is there something commonly missed in dealing with synapse for macos? 

It just doesnt pop out after i upgraded my mac to Tahoe. Is there anyone else who having the same issue?
