How do I reset my Razer Synapse?

Answered by Robert Dupre

To reset your Razer Synapse, follow these steps:

1. Open the Razer Synapse software on your computer. You can usually find it in your system tray or by searching for it in the Start menu.

2. Once the software is open, look for the “Select Profile” section. It is usually located on the left-hand side of the window.

3. Under the “Select Profile” section, you will see a button with a plus symbol (+) next to “Default.” Click on this button to create a new profile.

4. By creating a new profile, Synapse will automatically set it to the factory defaults. This means all your previous customizations and settings will be erased, and the profile will be restored to its original state.

5. After clicking the plus button, you will see a prompt asking you to name the new profile. You can give it any name you prefer or simply leave it as the default name.

6. Once the new profile is created, you can choose to stick with the factory defaults or customize it again according to your preferences.

It’s important to note that resetting your Razer Synapse will erase any customizations and settings you have made. Therefore, it is advisable to back up any profiles or configurations you want to keep before proceeding with the reset.

If you encounter any difficulties or the reset does not work as expected, you may need to uninstall and reinstall the Razer Synapse software. To do this, follow these additional steps:

1. Close the Razer Synapse software if it is currently running.

2. Open the Control Panel on your computer and navigate to the “Programs” or “Programs and Features” section.

3. Locate Razer Synapse in the list of installed programs and select it.

4. Click on the “Uninstall” button and follow the on-screen instructions to remove the software from your system.

5. After uninstalling, restart your computer to ensure all remnants of the software are cleared.

6. Once your computer has restarted, download the latest version of Razer Synapse from the official Razer website.

7. Install the downloaded software by running the installer and following the on-screen instructions.

8. After the installation is complete, open Razer Synapse and set up your profiles and configurations as desired.

By following these steps, you should be able to reset your Razer Synapse and start fresh with the factory defaults. Remember to save any important customizations before resetting and consider reinstalling the software if the reset does not work as expected.
