Razer Core V2

Common Questions

My Razer product does not work correctly with a specific program or game.

What should I do?

If you are experiencing issues with the Razer device in a particular application, test the device in another application to confirm if the issue is specific to that application. If the Razer device functions properly in another application, then the program is likely the cause of the issue. Feel free to contact customer support to report the issue and see if there are any fixes or workarounds for the issue.

Do I need to reboot my laptop every time I connect the Razer Core V2?

The Razer Core V2 is Plug and Play. This means that as long as your laptop is compatible and has the necessary graphics card drivers, you do not need to reboot your laptop every time you connect to the Core V2.

We have also redesigned the inside of Razer Core V2 to allow for taller graphics cards to be installed. Especially some of the larger taller NVIDIA GTX 1080 cards. The exterior CNC Aluminum design remains unchanged on the front and sides.
