How do I clean my Razer™ mouse?

We cannot say with certainty what type of dirt and debris may be on your product, or how certain cleaning products may react with it, but we have had good luck cleaning Razer products using commonly available monitor cleaning wipes. To clean the body of your Razer mouse, take a monitor wipe and use gentle wiping motions. Do not scrub the surface of your Razer mouse. You can clean the sensor using a Q-Tip lightly coated with rubbing alcohol. Let the sensor dry for five(5) minutes before attempting to use it.

Troubleshooting

When the mouse is paired to my laptop via Bluetooth, the connection

intermittently cuts in and out. How do I fix this?

Try updating your Intel drivers by visiting: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/intel-driver-support- assistant.html

Why does my Razer mouse pointer stutter or freeze?

It is most likely due to a dirty sensor or surface you use your mouse on. Try cleaning the sensor using a Q-tip lightly coated with rubbing alcohol. Let the sensor dry for five minutes and test your mouse. Also clean the surface on which you use the mouse or use a good mouse mat, the Razer Goliathus Chroma for example. If it still does not work, your sensor may have been improperly calibrated when setting up surface calibration. With the mouse plugged in and put flat on your mouse mat, hold down the left-click, right-click, and mouse wheel button for 7 seconds to reset the surface calibration. If the issue persists, contact Razer Support.

My Razer DeathAdder V2 Pro is not working properly when used with a KVM

switch. How do I fix this?

We recommend plugging your Razer product directly into your computer. KVM switches are known to cause interruptions in communications between devices and computers. If your Razer mouse works when plugged directly into the computer, then the issue is most likely on the KVM switch.

My Razer Device is not detected in Razer Synapse 3. How do I fix this?

If Synapse 3 just updated and your device is not detected, reboot your PC. Otherwise, check for updates through Settings > About > Check for Updates. If there are no updates detected, try another USB port. If all of the above fails, uninstall Synapse and reboot your PC. Re-install Synapse using the latest installer found here.
