How can I fix the Razer Synapse lighting profile issue?
1. Check your port
In some cases, the reason razer synapse won’t change lighting is because of afaulty USB port. If this is the case, detach your device from its port and plug it into another one.
It also makes no difference if you plug your device into a USB 2.0 port instead of a USB 3.0 port or vice versa.
If changing the ports makes no difference, try plugging your Razer hardware into another port on another PC.
If the lighting profile changes, the issue lies within the device itself. Try getting in touch withRazer tech supportto solve this issue.
