The Chroma lighting flickers when Razer Synapse is enabled

| Answer ID: 14173
This answer shows why Chroma lighting on your Razer device flickers when Razer Synapse is enabled.

Effective February 3, 2026, Razer Synapse 3 will no longer receive updates or support cloud services. After this date, cloud syncing of configurations across PCs using the same Razer ID will be disabled.

Note: Your installed devices will continue to be configurable in Razer Synapse 3. However, if you uninstall these devices completely, you will need to upgrade to Razer Synapse 4 to continue customization.

Download Razer Synapse 4 and migrate your existing Razer Synapse 3 profiles using the Profile Migration Tool to retain access to your configurations. See How to migrate your Razer Synapse 3 Profile to Razer Synapse 4 for instructions.

This is due to conflicts with the other RGB software (for example SignalRGB, OpenRGB, and the like). Ensure to disable these apps before using Razer Synapse.

Note: This also happens when a single system has both Razer Synapse 3 and Razer Synapse 4 running at the same time.
