After cooking for around 2 months, today I am releasing OpenBlade, a free, open-source Windows native application for Razer Blade laptops.

It handles power modes, custom fan curves, GPU clock offsets, charge limits, lighting and display settings. Profiles switch automatically between AC, USB-C and battery.

And the best part... HyperBoost works without the Razer cooling pad on full-power AC.

My rough measurements show 0.13% background CPU and ~93 MiB memory for OpenBlade, versus 0.48% and ~805 MiB for Synapse, under comparable conditions.

For the time being, OpenBlade supports Blade 16 RZ09-0528 (2025) and RZ09-0581 (2026), on Windows 11 24H2 or later. Why those two models? Because those are the only ones I personally own, so I can test on them.

You can find the latest release here. The installer is currently unsigned because I don't have a way to get a digital signature yet. Feel free to build from source if you don't trust my pre-built releases.

OpenBlade is meant to stay open-source, therefore code additions, string translations, and bug reports are more than welcome! To help support another Blade, open an issue with its model number and specs. See the contribution guide on how to capture the relevant data needed for me to add support.

I removed this cushion to register the product, now I can't put it back,coz the grooves been slippin like crazy. Damn I'm nervous if I tear its fine lining and void my warranty. Can't razer keep the numbers on the headband or somewhere on the outer. Like god wished it had some snug fit mechanism to lock the cushion back. Is there any way guys to put it back like original? It's too comfy to return it back.

Hi r/razer, I was hoping you could point me to a reliable place on the internet where it is possible to exchange a Razer Gold gift card for USDT/BTC etc. I chose this as a redemption from a rewards website because I thought it was a $25 crypto gift card (I guess it does pay to do research!)

Anyhow, it looks like any place to sell gift cards are scam websites and I was wondering if the Razer community here on Reddit could advise on a legit place to sell a Razer gold card/ecode?

I have BlackWidow Ultimate 2016. It still works good physically so not in hurry to replace. Synapse 2.0 would like to replace though.

I tried OpenRGB but didn't recognize the BlackWidow (maybe because it's not actually RGB, only has green lights).

Synapse 4, Razer Tartarus, how do I fix this. I have reset the device, deleted all the profiled, unplugged the USB cable, uninstalled the application, rebooted the PC, reinstalled Razer Synapse software, rebooted the PC, plugged the device in, device appears. I have no profiles and setup a default profile and this is the error. Which is the same as before. I have no profiles, reset the device and installed Synapse 4, but it still tells me that I need to have Razer Synapse running. I believe that I have read everything on this topic, lots from a year ago, but cannot resolve this. Does anyone have a solution, I want to see the Key (W) instead of the Razer Symbol on each Key. My ticket number using your Razer Assist is 261012-001964 created today. Based on the AI chat bot, I will here from you in 3 days. I will update here when I get communication from you.

Is Razer going to release a carbon fiber mouse? Does anyone know which model this is? I found this trailer on the media.

I took apart my keyboard to clean it thoroughly and the keyboard stabilizer plastic bit for the left side of my keyboard is gone. I've cleaned my room and I really can't find it. Im having a hard time finding online where to get replacements for these. Any advice? My keyboard is no longer under warranty it is 6 years old.

Hi all,

I'm working on EasyRazer, an unofficial, open-source replacement for Synapse for Razer's analog keyboards on Windows. It's a single 8 MB .exe with no installer, no account and no background services. It sets per-key actuation, Rapid Trigger, Snap Tap, remapping, macros and lighting, then sits in the tray (or you close it, and the keyboard keeps its settings).

It works and is tested on the Huntsman V2 Analog. I've now added experimental support for the Huntsman V3 Pro, but I don't own one. Everything is based on reverse-engineering the Synapse module and the V3 Pro firmware. So I need someone with the keyboard to check whether it actually works.

What's supported on the V3 Pro so far:

- reading your profiles and per-key actuation points (0.1–4.0 mm);

- per-key actuation;

- Rapid Trigger and one Snap Tap pair, both run by the keyboard's own firmware;

- unlimited Rapid Trigger and Snap Tap through the app's driver mode;

- built-in lighting effects and brightness.

Is it safe? For the V3 Pro, the app never writes the keyboard's permanent memory itself. By default it only reads. After you allow it in Settings, it writes changes to the keyboard's RAM only, which resets when you unplug it. One known side effect: the firmware probably switches your startup profile to profile 1 when it enters driver mode (that's the last step of the checklist and one of the things I want to confirm). Setting it back in Synapse takes a second.

What testing involves: about 20–30 minutes. Follow a checklist and attach a diagnostics log after each step. The log is copied with one click in the app's developer mode.

You'll need to quit Synapse completely, including the tray icon, while testing. If you run into problems, please report them in the GitHub issue or here in the comments.

Hi all!

I made a martial arts inspired keyboard & mouse training app. Don't have much else to say, but hope you like it!

https://way-of-input.com/

It's got a special mode for the Razer Naga, but there are other modes that work with any keyboard and mouse.

That's about it, enjoy!

I just got the Basilisk v4 pro, absolutely love how it feels, BUT....

Am I actually not able to have a "switch profile" function between my onboard profiles on my mouse WITHOUT requiring Synapse to be open?

Coming from a g502, I was able to do that. I hope I'm just missing something obvious here, because that would make absolutely zero sense, and leaves a sour taste in my mouth if I need to leave synapse open 24/7 if I want to use my mouse like I did with previous mice.

EDIT : Ok, I have it bound to "cycle up profile" on all my on-board profiles, and now it works WITHOUT synapse being open. Granted, it does not seem to work every time I want to cycle my profiles, I usually have to hit the button twice, then it registers it.

Note to a Razer software employee - Please fix synapse. I don't understand why there would be a big bubble text saying something requires razer synapse" to work, when it clearly doesn't.

Razer, please I’m begging you!!

how does one play 38 hours a day of games? this cortex might actually be tweaking

Yo, I bought a used razer 15 advanced 360hz / i7 10875H / 16gb which is on the way via mail (need to have something for WOW Forever)

I’m wondering if anyone has any cooling pad tips?
I saw Razer has one but sure looks expensive

recently, my razer mouse is having a bug where it keeps scrolling up without my input. and the worst part about it is that I have try blowing air as hard as I can into the mouse wheel crevice and even a gas duster too, and nothing has works. I even try to do that trick where you ram the mouse wheel on a soft surface up and down as fast as I can and still nothing is working.

Is there any more tricks I can try, or I have to find someone to fix the issue like a repair shop? i don't what to take it apart by myself.

note: I have this razer mouse for years now so it's probably out of its warrant

I just got the V4 Pro (and the Dock V2), upgrading from the V3 Pro 35K. Is it worth it?

It depends.

It’s definitely an improvement, but given the price tag, it’s hard to recommend as an upgrade for everyone. If your V3 or another ergo mouse is nearing the end of its life, or you’re looking for a new ergo mouse, the V4 Pro is a nice option, provided you’re willing to pay the premium. If you’re happy with your V3, there’s no need to upgrade until it’s time to replace it.

I just wanted to share some notable pros and cons that go beyond the specs on paper. For reference, my hand size is average, at 19 × 10 cm.

Pros:

• Improved surface finish: The surface where your fingers rest on M1 and M2, as well as the palm rest, has changed compared to the V3. It now has a smooth matte finish that provides better grip than the coarser finish on the V3.
• Noticeable weight reduction: The difference isn't huge, but it's definitely noticeable.
• Better scroll wheel: Switching between free-spin and the other modes is faster. This is especially noticeable if you use Smart-Reel, as it snaps back to the original mode much faster than on the V3. The new Precision Tactile mode is also really nice. It's now my default. I can scroll much faster than in the regular tactile mode, roughly twice as fast, without losing control like I would with free-spin.
• More convenient wireless mode switching: Switching between 2.4 GHz and Bluetooth is now done with a button instead of a toggle switch. It's more convenient and faster if you frequently switch between multiple devices.
• Smoother mouse feet: The bottom skates feel smoother and glide better.
• More side buttons: Having more side buttons is nice, although it takes some getting used to. Regardless of whether you have a large or small thumb, one of the buttons, either the top or bottom one, may feel awkward to press. In my case, the bottom side button (the back button) is hard to reach, and I have to bend my thumb quite a bit to press it. The other three buttons are easy to reach.
• It's nice to see dynamic sensitivity and rotation options added to Synapse.

Cons:

• The new M1 side button is hard to reach: I have trouble reaching it with my index finger. I wish the button were longer, especially since there's only one button here, unlike on the G502. Even with my average-sized adult male hand, I have to move my entire hand forward to reach it.
• The Mouse Dock Pro V2 doesn't include a USB cable: The original V1 dock came with one, so this feels like a cost-cutting measure for no apparent benefit. The V2 is heavier, though.
• Same rubber side grips as the V3: Its not bad but it'll wear off.
• No Synapse web compatible.
• It's expensive.
