Razer Synapse For Mouse

[Francisca Noggles]

mymouse stopped working after i restarted my pc. i noticed it wasnt recognized in razer synapse, so i tried a ton of things which all didnt work. i booted in safe mode and everything worked fine. i then tried repairing and then downright deleting razer synapse, which actually seemed to work after a restart, but i didnt connect the dots. just now, i opened razer synapse for the first time after reinstalling, and wouldnt you know, my mouse stopped working immediately! why?

Hi everyone Shadowbane here and as some of you know I have recently switched from Windows to Linux (running Linux Mint 19.3). Now that I have gotten the introductions out of the way:smile: I will get down to the reason I am creating this post.

If it saves the profiles to the hardware a workaround, though not perfect, would be to get a windows machine (maybe a VM?) and do all your adjusting there and then just use it like normal on linux. You still wont be able to change it at will but it will at least have the settings you want permanently.

Hi, @SesameStreetThug Thanks for the reply, I know about the Open Razer project and the front end project Polychromatic. Unforchantly Open Razer and Polychromatic only get me one third the way to accomplish my goals. Maybe I should contact the developers of both projects and find out what they need to speed up the development of their projects. And then start a go fund me effort.

This is a very stupid hacky over complicated version, but you might try setting up a windows vm, using the usb pass through option in your vm hypervisor with your mouse/keyboard (one at a time) and then apply the lighting settings you want, the basic stuff should be stored in memory of the device.

@SesameStreetThug, @Zibob I just had an idea, I have Windows 10 on an external USB drive that will boot up Windows 10. I could load up Windows 10 do whatever I need to do and then boot into Linux Mint. I have spent all day trying to figure out this problem. The possible answer was staring me right in the face. See what happens when you commit to ending your dependence on Windows, it blocks all easy solutions.

The other 66.6% is the lack of creating gaming profiles and limited abilities to make macros that are useful. I will wait a few days before I mark this as solved. I want to try my idea first and see if it will work.

I realize you are right, it would be easier to get Open Razer/Polychromatic to do what I want than develop wine to run synapse. I bet the reason Open Razer and Polychromatic exist is because of the fact Wine would be so much harder to developed to run Synapse. I guess I am just impatient, I want what I want now not 5 to 10 years later. I guess I will only accomplish my goals by either setting up my macros in Windows save them to my mouse and keyboard, and hope I can get them to work somehow in Linux Mint, or reach out to the developers of Open Razer and Polychromatic, see what they would need to speed up development, then start a Go Fund Me campaign.

I bought a Razer Mamba Elite and it forces me to use Synapse 3. That new version doesn't have a mouse acceleration feature and I'm really used to mouse accel. My aim is trash without it. I've installed Custom Curve from Mouse Acceleration as an attempt to recreate the acceleration curve but I can't do it. .

In case you want to factually recreate your old synapse accel curve, only option is to do some reverse engineering. Just install the old driver / mouse you are used to at the same time as Custom Curve, and then use an Autohotkey script whilst toggling between the two, measuring the resulting sensitivity using a precise amount of counts from the script, and adjusting the value in Custom Curve until you have the same length of line. You'd need to use the AutoHotInterception Library to send it through the driver, and then just match up the razer sensitivity at each count per update with a resulting sensitivity value in Custom Curve. You could do this using just drawing simple lines in paint until they match to the pixel. It would take a few hours of your time but is straight forward enough to do. Once you have mapped the curve, then just save it for future use on your new mouse / driver.

Here's some simple code I just wrote that would do the task for you in AHK with the AHI library, just read through the dox on the github page to get setup.

I'm not using the Mac mouse, I'm using Mac mini with my Razer mouse. I installed the driver for that Mouse, unfortunately it only allows me to set the sensitivity and acceleration. I also tried to install Google Chrome, but it doesn't work either. When I click the side button of my mouse, it doesn't go back to the previous page. Under Windows, the default behavior of the back button in a mouse is to navigate back to the previous page, but it's not the case under Mac.

To do this, open the application and click the mouse button you want to change the assignment for. A window will pop-up where you need to open the drop-down menu and select "keyboard function", then enter the respective keyboard combination.

It is different for the Chroma with the new synapse 2.0, you go into customize -> select button 4 or 5 whichever you are working with and select keyboard function, press and hold "alt" + "right" or "left" arrow key and it should remap to forward or back respectively. No need to download other software to override your already installed and fully functional software. Your Welcome.

Once you have downloaded USBOverdrive. Assigning Back and Forward to buttons 4 and 5First select the physical button you want to configure by pressing it on the device or choosing it in the left side list. Then look at the menus at the right and choose "Keyboard Shortcut" + "Back" (or "Forward").

I want to make the fire button's secondary bind to be my middle-click (mouse 3/pressing in on scroll wheel), and then I want to enable the Turbo function in razer synapse, so when I hold down the middle-click, it will fire as fast as if I was scrolling the mouse wheel up and down. I know there's nothing against binding the fire button to mousewheel up/down, but I'd rather just hold down middle click, since my fingers hurt in my older age when trying to scroll up and down so fast.

@DankToliet Can you be an actual human being and perhaps tell my why in your opinion, its cheating? Do you also think binding fire to your mousewheel is cheating? My question was if Turbo was considered a macro, do you think its a macro? If so, why? If you're not even going to try to answer an innocent question, then don't bother replying?

Don't you literally have to use Synapse to configure your Razer mouse? And can't you bind the fire button to scroll wheel and spin that * for at least a solid 10 seconds? I feel like it's the exact same thing, because you don't even have to hold anything down with the scroll wheel, all you have to do is aim. 6 of one, half a dozen of the other. If one is legal and fine with the developer, the other should be as well. And I also don't think you can get banned for using the turbo function in Synapse, because That particular function is not stored on the on-board memory, which is why you have to have Synapse running for it to work. Just my two cents.

The issue of Synapse not detecting devices is mostly reported for Razer mice and keyboards. However, that issue can also occur for Razer headphones, broadcast microphones, and other accessories that software will usually detect. This is how you can fix the Synapse software not detecting Razer devices within Windows 10 and 11.

You can check supported hardware at the Razer Synapse 3 supported device page. Click a category on that page to see if your device is listed there. You can also check compatibility for version 2.0 at the Razer Synapse 2.0 supported device page. If your device is listed among the supported hardware on one of those pages, your Synapse software should detect it.

This issue can occur because of USB port connection issues. Some users have revealed that plugging Razer devices into different USB ports on their PCs resolved the issue of synapse not detecting them. So, try unplugging your Razer device and plugging it into an alternative USB port. Also, plug the device directly into your PC without using any intermediary USB hubs.

Corrupted or missing Synapse modules can cause the issue of Synapse not detecting Razer devices. So, thoroughly uninstalling Synapse by erasing leftover data and reinstalling the software will often resolve that issue. Reinstall Razer Synapse as follows:

Another fix confirmed to work for this Synapse issue is to reinstall all Razer and HID-compliant mouse and keyboard devices. Applying that potential resolution can resolve device driver conflicts. You can reinstall HID mouse and keyboard drivers as follows:

Launch Razer Synapse to see if it detects your devices after disabling antivirus software on your PC. If this potential resolution works, consider adding Razer Synapse to the exclusion list in Windows Security or alternative security software. Then turn your antivirus protection back on.
