Is Razer listening to my conversations?

No. Alexa is only activated when the Alexa icon is clicked on or if the designated shortcut is used.

Does Razer store my voice recordings?

No. Razer does not store any of your voice recordings. Razer Synapse 3 immediately sends any received voice recording to Amazon’s cloud for processing. For details of Amazon’s policy, please visit their Alexa FAQs page.

Can I change the Alexa activation shortcut?

Yes. You may change the keyboard shortcut to your preferred combination under “SETTINGS” in the Alexa module of Razer Synapse 3.

Alexa does not understand my commands. Is there a way to improve this?

We recommend using a good microphone and to speak in a clear and concise manner for the localized region selected.

Yes. Alexa will only work with devices compatible with Razer Synapse 3.

No. Razer skills cannot be issued to individual devices.

Why do multi-turn skills not work properly for other non-Razer skills?

We are working on improving the performance of non-Razer multi-turn skills in our next update.

Alexa does not respond after I have issued a command.

We recommend logging out of the module and exiting Razer Synapse 3. After which, please relaunch Razer Synapse 3 and log into your Amazon account in the Alexa module again. This will help re-establish the account link between your Razer ID and Amazon account.

Smart Home Skills

Razer has implemented Smart Home Skills for Chroma Lighting. This will allow you to perform commands using shorter sentences. These skills can be activated by simply saying “Alexa” followed by the command with the “Chroma Lighting” device name.

Set Chroma Lighting to a specific Static Color
Set Chroma Lighting to Spectrum Cycling
Set Chroma Lighting Brightness to preferred Level/Maximum/Minimum
Increase/Decrease Chroma Lighting Brightness
Turn Chroma Lighting On/Off
