Switch Lighting with Global Hotkeys (eg with a Stream Deck, AHK, etc)

PT.SingerI've tried some stuff, but the biggest thing right off the bat was that in the Global Shortcuts window, it specifically says that the input must come from a Synapse 3-enabled device. Even though it let me SET the shortcuts using a non-Razer laptop, it wouldn't let me fire them off from anything except my Blackwidow Chroma Stealth. Even when I mapped Ctrl and 7 to my Tartarus v2, so I could use the same keys that you tried, pressing those keys on my Tartarus did nothing ... but when I pressed the mapped Ctrl button and the key on my Tartarus that was set to "3" by default, it switched to another lighting profile. When I tried another key combination (CTRL + 5) as the hotkey to switch profiles, it worked from my Tartarus v2, since the number 5 is one of the default keys on that unit. Strange that even though it was a Synapse 3 enabled device, CTRL + 7 wouldn't work, since 7 was a mapped key. The weird thing is that CTRL on my Tartarus v2 was ALSO a mapped key, but that keypres

Switch Lighting with Global Hotkeys (eg with a Stream Deck, AHK, etc)

PT.SingerHey, @__elev8__ , I'm really curious about this, as I use a StreamDeck for work all the time. I have a couple of questions about what you've got set up while doing your testing. What OS are you using? What version of Synapse? Did you have your Blackwidow connected when testing, or was it your Cynosa, and did you use that same keyboard to program your hotkey in the StreamDeck software? Did you try using a different combination for the Global Shortcut: something more common to all keyboards (e.g., "left ctrl + numrow 7") Have you tried any other software to attempt the same thing? We use a program called Bitfocus Companion to do ... a whole bunch of stuff ... at my work. It was built from the ground up to work specifically with the Elgato StreamDeck. I'll mess around with lighting control tomorrow in the office with my Tartarus v2 and my BWCS, and my StreamDeck, and let you know what I find. Hey! Thanks for the collaboration on this - it certainly had crossed my mind that I’m

RazerThe_FiendI'm not aware of any way to do this through streamdeck, but you can setup something convinient like this using "Global Shortcuts" tab on Synapse dashboard. Okay, so I tried it, and the Global Shortcuts only work from the keyboard. I set it up so that "right ctrl+numpad 7" would change the lighting preset. When I do that manually on the keyboard, it works fine - however, when I send the same command via the stream deck (or I'm guessing via AHK or something similar) it is not converting that to a "hotkey" and activating the command. I know synapse can 'hook' in to external software and API's, but I need an external device to be able to 'hook' in to the synapse hotkeys. It doesn't seem like there is a solution at this time, beyond Razer being a bro and developing that ability for us. Since it's technically in beta, hopefully that means something like this could be for us. Can you imagine how many people would use Synapse as their primary lighting software if they could s

I don’t generally poke around in synapse too much, lest i break something real important - but initially, this looks like something i can use as outside hooks for the API! i will try after work today and report back for the other google gremlins looking for answers out there!
