Finally got myself a new mouse. the same one! But the old one was tired, the rubber was almost completely gone. and the side button broke. The scroll wheel was bad too. So it’s nice with a new. And it was a lot cheaper then when I bought it back then!

I had ordered a completely different keyboard on Amazon that was on sale, went to Walmart the next day and found this on sale for $69!! Immediately canceled my Amazon order.

Ive been using this headphone(Razer Blackshark V3 Hyperspeed) for the last 1-2 years and now its broken. I was using it by gluing the broken part but now the glue cant keep it together anymore. Is there any headphone suggestions that is better/near this one or a component that i can buy for the upper part of the headphone?

what are the differences? V4 Hyperspeed can get up to 8000hz polling rates? Does that make it a V3 35K replacement?

V4 Pro crazy price hike, i think Razer is being opportunistic in todays AI inflation view, everyone expecting to pay more, but why do it Razer?

I've been working on CPUnity:R-Helper, a free, open-source continuation of R-Helper (the lightweight Synapse replacement for Razer Blades). I built and tested it on my Blade 16 (2023).

What it does:

- Performance modes, CPU/GPU boost and overclock, and an AC/battery profile

- Fan control: auto, manual, max, and cooling-pad speeds with presets

- Keyboard lighting with built-in and custom presets, and a battery health optimizer

- Sensors tab with live graphs and CSV logging, with named, dated log files

- Synapse Standby, which parks all the Razer background software and can keep Chroma lighting running (Inspired by NxRoot - SynapseKiller)

- A built-in Help tab, and new skins and backdrops in options

What's coming next: a Shop with its own in-app currency, mini games, an achievement system, and a branching storyline. Yes, in a Razer fan-control app. I'm building it all in the open, so you can watch it grow, and I'd love to hear what you'd want from it. I couldn't help myself once I started...

v0.6.0 is out now, and bug reports and feedback are very welcome, especially from other Blade models.

This is my first venture into the Tartarus playstyle on a PC. Got it for a fresh start for Forever with a new way to play the game. I was waiting on the firmware upgrade before purchasing and it’s working perfect for my needs now. Same with the Naga 3, never used a MMO mouse. Before this I was an icon clicker so there’s going to be a huge memory muscle hurdle to get over lol.

Has anyone else noticed the BlackShark V3 chat channel is much lower then the game channel? I can never find the good balance of game audio and chat audio even using the knob. I feel like when my knob is in the center and get in a game I can barely hear folks on discord and I have their volume at 200%. But then when I push for more chat the game volume isn’t enjoyable anymore. Would be interested if anyone else has found this aswell.

First time posting. My Razer customer service experience was so bad I had to write about it, but here’s a general overall review to go with it. Written on my phone so I apologize in advance for any typos.

I’ve owned a handful of keyboards since I started gaming on PC in 2019. I haven’t kept perfect track but I’d guess I’ve purchased maybe 20 different keyboards since then. My purchases were mainly from Best Buy since they have a pretty straight forward 15 day return policy but I also tried a few Amazon budget boards and online store purchases from brands like Ducky and Glorious. I played around with sound dampening and lubing switches but have to yet to make the leap to complete custom keyboard fabrication like a lot of the awesome keyboards I’ve seen on this forum. I play all kinds of games but mainly gravitate towards shooters like CS2, Valorant, Apex Legends, etc. but I also have a few thousand hours of RuneScape and slower paced games. That being said, I’d say I have a pretty exposure and knowledge of keyboards and customer service.

When I saw the Razer Huntsman HE Magnetic 8KHZ for $120 at Best Buy I have to admit I was pretty curious and intrigued so I figured why not, let’s give it a shot. Terrible mistake.

The Razer Huntsman HE Magnetic 8KHZ built quality was decent. The case is plastic but the top mounting plate is aluminum and pretty sturdy with a nice black brushed finish. I prefer little to no give while typing so the sturdy foundation felt nice to me. The switches sound okay, with that somewhat signature Hall Effect switch sound but seemed overall hallow to me. The key caps are high quality ABS with a matte finish that avoids fingerprints, which I liked. I’m not a huge fan of lighting but the default rgb cycling looked standard overall. I’d note that previous Razer keycaps I used had a hard time passing the light through the lettering, but these keys lit up nicely even at lower brightnesses. The provided cable it is sturdy and feels high quality as far as type C cables go. But that’s bout where the positives ended for me.

I plugged in my new keyboard, downloaded and installed the Synapse software, and started looking at different settings. By now I’m sure everyone is familiar with settings like snap tap, rapid trigger, snap flex, etc. so I won’t go into detail other than to say it has all the settings available through Synapse and the online Synapse Beta, but you can only access certain features like individual key calibration through the installed Synapse software only. I’m not a fan of Synapse running in the background so I updated the firmware and uninstalled, opting for the online beta.

During initial typing tests I was disappointed to find I couldn’t go lower than 0.5mm actuation due to ghosting and stuck keys. This model also has a switch dead zone setting that sets a buffer with the options being Responsive, Medium (default), and Stable; I had to use stable below the default 1.2mm actuation for the same reason, ghosting and stuck keys. As I typed I felt as though I was missing key presses but then realized the keys were not registering at all. Entire words would be omitted. I typed for a few minutes, tweaked settings, and could not get the missed keystrokes to go away. I made sure I had the latest firmware and performed factory resets to no avail, it simply kept missing keystrokes. I took to the Razer Insider forums and created a post that was followed by a new firmware v1.03.0_r1. The missed keystroked continued.

During the same time I daily drove this keyboard to get a full feel for it, occasionally switching when it became too frustrating. During RuneScape, a relatively slow paced mmorpg, the keyboard would completely freeze. I guessed it might have been the polling rate so I set it to the default 1khz profile and tried a handful of other setting tweaks but it was persistent. I have a an AMD 5800X cpu, not the best, but I didn’t notice any frame drops or stuttering at all, so I don’t believe it was a hardware issue on my side. I thought Steam might have been the culprit so I set the Idle Gamepad Shutdown Timeout to Never since steam recognized the keyboard as a controller (a feature I believe is consistent across most analog keyboards) but it was not the solution. I made sure there were no redundant services running in the background such as razer game inputs and windows inputs, along with every other suggestion I could find in forums and through Google Gemini (4 Argon with extended thinking) and nothing has yet to work.

The worst part. About a week after reaching out to support through Synapse Insider I decided to open a Razer Support case through their AI support chat that eventually asks you to provide a video demonstrating the problem and proof of purchase, which I did. I received an email with basic troubleshooting steps, to which I responded that I had completed the steps and needed further assistance. The follow up from Razer was to wait up to 3 business days, after which I received a response to provide a video demonstrating the issue. I sent the same video as before and waited another day for a response. Razer followed up asking for proof of purchase, which I provided and waited another day for a response. Razer came back with the response I attached to this review. No suggestion of a replacement, store credit, or a solution in general other than essentially saying it’s complicated, wait for a software update. I was so invested in fixing this keyboard I completely forgot about the Best Buy 15 day return window. I could have also purchased the Best Buy warranty but I rarely if ever do, as this is genuinely the first time I’ve been invested in fixing a faulty product. I should have returned it within the first day. So if anyone is interested in a nice paper weight please feel free to reach out, accepting all offers.

TLDR; The Razer Huntsman HE Magnetic 8KHZ 65% came riddled with problems. Razer has poor customer service, I’d suggest not purchasing their products.

Hey everyone!

I've been annoyed by having to manually switch between my Razer headset and speakers for years. Windows still sees the USB dongle even when the headset is turned off, so I finally decided to make a small tool to fix it.

Headset AutoSwitch automatically switches audio to your headset when you turn it on and back to your speakers when you turn it off.

Currently tested only with Razer BlackShark V2 Pro (2023) using the 2.4 GHz USB dongle.

It's completely free and open-source!

I'd love to hear your feedback! If you'd like support for other Razer headsets, let me know your model in the comments and I'll look into adding it!

Does anyone know if the blackwidow v4 low profile works with ps5?

Instale Synapse y funcionan con su dongle sin problemas!!!!

My Razer Wolverine V3 Pro Wireless keeps disconnecting does anyone have a fix for this?

I really wanted to use a Razer Kishi V3 Pro with my Red Magic Astra, but the offset USB-C port made it basically unusable. The controller either sat way too high or way too low.

That frustration is what pushed me to design my own adapter plates so I could mount the Kishi more centrally on the tablet. While working on it I realized the offset port I’d originally seen as a downside actually became an advantage. Because of the extra movement the offset + a short ribbon cable gives, I was able to build in a simple cam-style locking action. The result is a noticeably more secure and rigid mount than the Kishi’s stock clamp, while still being easy to put on and take off.

It’s a two-piece design that works on both the Astra and Astra 2. If anyone else has been stuck with the same problem and wants more details on how I did it or how to get a set, feel free to DM me

I didn't use my PC for 2 weeks. So when I booted it up I did a lot of updates.
Now everytime I turn on my PC, I have these two windows opening up (chroma app and a small window about my razer user account).
Yet, I've checked the "minimize to system tray on startup" setting.

It was working fine for like one year and then all of a sudden it broke itself.

I tried to uninstall and reinstall, repair, uncheck and check the setting again but no.

A simple feature as this one doesn't work. I hate Razer apps / Synapse from the bottom of my heart so I may not be in a position to think clearly so please tell me you know a solution to this..

I just need the apps to launch themselves in the background to load my RGB, and macro settings for both my keyboard and mouse and that's it.

For context I am 24 years old and work an it job and game when i get home, around 4 years ago I bought my first razer enki and for those 4 years I loved it, I found it to be one of the best chairs I have ever sat on, I don't know why but it was amazing. Fast forward to a week ago it had broke, the back rest would not properly stay locked so it was just a stool, I bought another one on amazon and received it today, put it together and for only around 3 hours of sit time my lower back is like hurting like I have been bending down and touching my toes for the past 3 hours, during the week I didn't have the chair becuase it was broken I was using my girlfriends like luxury office chair, kind of just like an executive chair, i don't know if its the lumbar support that has my back acting up, but also after assembling the chair it felt like the chair was different like the base was smaller in a way, but its the exact same chair, name color and all. I am probably just going crazy but who knows.

Best EQ settings for rainbow 6 siege i normally edit them through my phone with the dual connect. Also is it better to edit it through my phone or Xbox series x

This is a heads-up if anyone needs controls over the mouse on Mac. Currently, neither Synapse Mac nor Web supports is.

I have added and posted a pull request on the original repository. If you want it now, clone it from my fork and build it.

Yes, this is AI slop. Yes, I have absolutely no clue how to develop Swift. Yes, Razer doesn't give a damn about adding new product supports to Mac or Web.

This took me a few hours to reverse engineer the commands, instead of waiting months for Razer to finally add a work piece that probably takes them half an hour with their internal data sources.

I haven't noticed the audio issue for a couple of days now
