How to Create, Assign, and Delete Macros in Razer Synapse

Use them wherever you are located

Razer Synapseis a cloud-based manager for your Razer peripherals. It comes with tons of neat features, among them the configurator that lets you customize all yourRazer hardware. To increase the functionality of your Razer ecosystem, you can program each keyboard or mouse button with macro commands. You can also create custom and complex macros that you can use by pressing a combination of keys on yourgaming keyboard.

When you create macros through Razer Synapse 3, they’ll be stored in the cloud. That means that no matter where you find yourself, you’ll be able to use the same macros as if you were home. It also allows you to share your settings with other people with Razer peripherals, or to import other people’s macros into your Razer Synapse software.

You’ll also be able to access them easily even if you replace your old Razer mouse and keyboard with new Razer products. Just follow the tutorial in this article and you’ll learn how to create, assign, and delete Razer Synapse macros in no time.

What’s a Macro?

Simply put, a macro is a script that plays an action, or a series of actions, when activated with a keyboard shortcut (or a mouse shortcut). That means that you can assign one button or a sequence of buttons to commit an action for which you would normally need several keystrokes or mouse clicks. This is extremely helpful to people who need to use repetitive keystrokes a lot. It helps them finish their work quicker, or play their games better.

You can use macros when you have long and repetitive tasks to perform on your computer. Instead of you doing a whole sequence of actions, press one key or a combination of macro keys to do it fast and hassle-free.

Adding a Macro Module

Before you can configure macros in Razer Synapse, you’ll have to add the Macro Module. It’s possible you already have it. If you do, you’ll find theMacrooption at the top toolbar of Synapse.

But if you just installed Synapse, it’s possible you’ll have to install the Macro module first. Here’s how:

The Macro Module will be added to your toolbar. You can now access it easily.

Creating a Razer Synapse Macro

Now that you added Macro Module to your Razer Synapse dashboard, you can start creating some keyboard or mouse macros. To be able to do it, you’ll have to make sure your Razer Synapse 3 compatible product is plugged into your PC. Then:

Your macro will automatically be saved in Razer Synapse. After the macro is created, you’ll have to assign it to any Razer Synapse-enabled peripheral.

Another way of creating the macro is to insert it, instead of recording it. The steps to do it are the same, until the Record point. To insert the macro instead:

Your macro will be automatically saved and then you can proceed to assign it to a Razer Synapse 3-compatible device.

Now that you created a macro in Razer Synapse, you can assign it to the Razer device. Remember that you have to have a Razer Synapse-enabled keyboard or a mouse plugged into your computer before you can do this.

Follow these steps to assign a macro:

And that’s it! Your macro is assigned to the specific button. You can go on and use it how you intended to.

Editing a Razer Synapse Macro

You can edit the Razer macros you created and assigned at any point. This allows you to adjust their function or the playback speed. Any change you make to the macro will automatically be saved, and you won’t need to reassign the key bind.

Here’s how you can edit Macros:

Once you make changes the macro script will be automatically updated, so you can immediately go ahead and use the updated version of the macro.

Deleting Razer Synapse Macro

All macros you create and assign in Razer Synapse can be easily deleted. Perhaps you made a mistake while creating it, or you simply don’t use it anymore. Whatever the reason, follow these steps to delete a macro:
