How to Change Razer Keyboard Color Without Using Synapse
If you own a Razer Blackwidow or Razer Huntsman, you’ll be able to change the color of your keyboard without Razer Synapse by simply pressing the “FN+ctrl+4” buttons simultaneously.
If your keyboard doesn’t allow you to shift between colors using the Ctrl+FN+4 keys, then you’ll still be able to change your keyboard’s color. However, you’ll need to use third-party software. One example of this is open RGB. Here’s how:
- Download OpenRGB
- Select your Razer keyboard
- Select the “Direct” option located in the mode drop-down menu.
- Select the color you want
- and click on “Apply Color.”
And that’s it! It’s as simple as that.
If you’re using a mac, then you may have noticed that the Razer Synapse 3.0 does not officially support Mac systems. However, there is a way around that, and that’s by using a third-party application. Here’s how it works:
- Open the Github page and scroll all the way down to “Download.”
- Select “Latest Release”
- Select the latest version and download the .dmg file
- Once installed, open the application
- On the top right corner of your screen, you’ll notice the application icon
- Click on the icon, and from here, you’ll be able to easily customize your keyboard color to your personal preference.
Benefits of Using Razer Synapse
Razer Synapse is a powerful piece of software that allows you to customize your Razer keyboard in many ways. For example, you can use it to create macros, bind keys, and change the color of your keyboard.
Synapse also allows you to manage multiple Razer devices from one central location. So, if you have a Razer mouse, keyboard, and headset, you can control them all from Synapse.
Generally, If you want to get the most out of your Razer keyboard, you’ll need to install Synapse.
