Overview

Razer Synapse is a unified configuration platform designed to unlock the full potential of Razer gaming peripherals. It allows users to customize buttons, create advanced macros, manage lighting effects, and store profiles securely in the cloud—so settings follow you wherever you play.

Built for competitive gamers and enthusiasts, Razer Synapse 3 transforms compatible Razer devices into fully personalized gaming tools.

What Is Razer Synapse?

Razer Synapse is cloud-based peripheral management software that connects all supported Razer hardware into a single control hub. From mice and keyboards to headsets and lighting accessories, Synapse gives users deep customization options through one centralized interface.

Once configured, profiles are automatically synced to the cloud, eliminating the need to reconfigure devices when switching PCs or attending LAN events.

Hybrid On-Board and Cloud Profile Storage

One of Razer Synapse’s standout features is its hybrid storage system:

  • Cloud storage keeps profiles synced across devices

  • On-board memory allows up to four profiles to be saved directly on supported peripherals

This ensures your settings remain accessible even when:

  • There is no internet connection

  • Razer Synapse is not installed on another PC

Redesigned Interface and Modular Installation

Razer Synapse 3 features a modern, modular design that improves performance and usability. Users can install only the components they need, reducing system load.

The dashboard provides quick access to:

  • Device configuration panels

  • Macro editor

  • Chroma lighting controls

  • Firmware updates and warranty registration

This streamlined experience makes managing multiple devices fast and intuitive.

Advanced Macro Customization

For gamers who rely on precision and speed, Razer Synapse offers powerful macro creation tools. Users can record and edit complex sequences of inputs, adjust delays, and bind macros to any supported button.

These macros are especially valuable in:

  • Competitive gaming

  • MMOs and MOBAs

  • Productivity and creative workflows

With a single click, complex actions can be executed flawlessly.

Razer HyperShift: Double Your Controls

Razer HyperShift introduces a secondary layer of button functions. By holding a designated HyperShift key, every button on a device can perform an alternate action—effectively doubling customization options without adding physical buttons.

This feature is ideal for:

  • High-level competitive play

  • Games with complex control schemes

  • Users who want maximum efficiency from limited hardware

Next-Generation Chroma Studio

Razer Synapse includes Chroma Studio, an advanced RGB lighting configuration tool that allows users to design and synchronize lighting effects across multiple devices.

Key highlights include:

  • Custom lighting animations

  • Device-aware layout mapping

  • Full synchronization across keyboards, mice, headsets, and accessories

Your desk setup becomes a fully coordinated visual experience.

Wide Device Compatibility

Razer Synapse supports a broad range of Razer products, including:

  • Gaming laptops (Razer Blade series)

  • Keyboards (BlackWidow, Huntsman, Cynosa)

  • Mice (DeathAdder, Basilisk, Viper, Naga)

  • Headsets and audio devices

  • Chroma-enabled accessories and peripherals

This makes Synapse an essential tool for users invested in the Razer ecosystem.
