Handy and private
Razer Synapse is our unified configuration software that allows you to rebind controls or assign macros to any of your Razer peripherals and saves all your settings automatically to the cloud. No more tedious device configurations when you arrive at LAN parties or tourneys, as you can pull them from the cloud, and get owning right away.
- Razer Synapse is a utility application for Razer’s range of gaming peripherals including mice and keyboards, and allows them to be configured on your Mac. However, Mac support lags behind that on Windows and you may decide you want to uninstall it, especially if you no longer use it.
- Razer's best gaming keyboards & keypads are engineered with enhanced features & latest technology featuring Razer Mechanical Switches, Opto-Mechanical keyboard Switches, Mecha-Membrane technology, and more.
Razer Synapse 3 is the newest edition of the software known for personalizing Razer hardware from Chroma lighting to assigning macros.
As a company, Razer is big on gaming tools, especially in terms of hardware and software. Razer allows a fantastic level of customization.
Synapse 3 works with Razer's branded devices, including headsets, keyboards, speakers, and mice. However, this iteration features a lower number of compatible gadgets when compared to the previous version.
The configuration options are otherwise the same. You can change your keys and buttons' functions, assign macros and devise a lighting system.
What this version offers as an added plus is its privacy. You can use it without creating an account or even while offline.
The interface is clean and easy to navigate, and installation is a simple step-by-step process. You'll just need to choose a peripheral and start personalizing.
Where can you run this program?
Razer Synapse 3 runs on Windows 7, 8, 10, both 32-bit and 64-bit. It has not been made available on Mac.
Is there a better alternative?
No...at least not as comprehensive. However, there are simpler peripheral configuration apps such as Key Manager and X-Mouse Button Control for Windows and ControllerMate for Mac.
Our take
The third iteration of Razer Synapse is as impressive as the previous two, with a clean interface and higher focus on privacy.
Should you download it?
Yes. If you’re using Razer hardware, this software is an excellent way to make it perfectly suit your needs for free.

If you’ve ever used a Razer gaming keyboard or mouse, or any other Razer peripheral with your Mac, you will have installed Razer Synapse. This tool allows you to configure settings on Razer devices, such as allocating functions to the buttons on mice, adjusting sensitivity, and creating macros from keyboard combinations.
While Razer’s support for Windows versions of Synapse appears to be very good, that’s not necessarily the case with the Mac version, which tends to lag behind when it comes to new features and upgrades. Or, you may have installed it and want to keep using it, but have noticed that it’s causing problems for your Mac, maybe by crashing or hitting performance. It’s possible, then, that if you’ve downloaded Synapse for the Mac, you may have decided that it’s not worth using it, perhaps because you now use a Windows machine to configure your Razer devices. If that’s the case, you should uninstall it. The rest of this article will show you how to do that.
How to uninstall Razer Synapse on your Mac
The easiest way to uninstall Razer Synapse on a Mac is to use its own uninstaller, if you have it.
- Go to Applications>Utilities and look for ‘Uninstall Razer Synapse.’
- If you find it, double-click on it and follow the instructions when it launches.
If you can’t find the uninstaller, you can uninstall it manually.
The first thing you should do is quit any running processes — while you’re doing that, you can check whether Synapse is the cause of any performance issues your Mac is having.
- Go to Applications>Utilities and double-click on Activity Monitor to launch it.
- Look through the list of running processes for anything with ‘razer synapse’ in its name.
- If you find one or more processes, take a look at their RAM and CPU usage and compare it with other processes, that will give you an idea if it’s hogging resources.
- When you’re ready, select each Razer Synapse process in turn and press the Quit Process button in the tool bar.
- Quit Activity Monitor.
Once you’ve deleted running processes, you can move to the next stage and delete the application.
- Go to your Applications folder and look for the Razer Synapse app.
- When you find it, drag it to the Trash.
- Click on Finder in the Dock and choose the Go menu.
- Select Go to Folder and paste this location in the box: /Library/Application Support/Razer
- Drag the Razer folder to the Trash.
- Repeat step 4, this time paste: ~/Library/Cache
- Locate the file ‘com.razerzone.RzUpdater’ and drag it to the Trash
- Repeat step 4 again and navigate to: /Library/FrameWorks
- Remove the following files: RzAudioSettings.frameworkRzSkinToolkit.frameworkRzStorageSDK.framework
- Now, navigate to: /Library/Extensions/
- Remove: RazerHid.kext

If you prefer to be really hardcore and use the Terminal to uninstall apps, you can do that, too. However, as with doing anything with Terminal, you should only do it if you know how to use Terminal commands and know what each one does. Use these commands:

- Type the following commands to remove Synapse launch agents. Press Return at the end of each line:
launchctl remove com.razer.rzupdater
Razer Synapse
launchctl remove com.razerzone.rzdeviceengine
sudo rm /Library/LaunchAgents/com.razer.rzupdater.plist
sudo rm /Library/LaunchAgents/com.razerzone.rzdeviceengine.plist
3. Remove the kernel extensions with this command:
sudo rm -Rf /Library/Extensions/RazerHid.kext
4. Drag the Razer Synapse app from the Applications folder to the Trash.
5. Remove files from the Application Support with the following commands:
sudo rm -rf /Library/Application Support/Razer/
rm -rf ~/Library/Application Support/Razer/
6. Remove files from the Library Frameworks folder with these commands:
sudo rm -rf /Library/Frameworks/RzAudioSettings.framework/
sudo rm -rf /Library/Frameworks/RzSkinToolkit.framework/
