How to enable the Cycle Up or Down Sensitivity Stages feature on a Razer mouse

| Answer ID: 1737
This answer is a step-by-step process on how you can enable the Cycle Up and Cycle down sensitivity adjusment on your Razer mouse using Razer Synapse.

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.

Razer mice come with the Cycle Up/Down Sensitivity Stages, a feature that allows you to cycle up or down the dots-per-inch (DPI) stages via your mouse.

  • Cycle Up Sensitivity Stages allows you to cycle up sensitivity stages. Once you reach the maximum DPI, you will go to the lowest DPI in the next press.
  • Cycle Down Sensitivity Stages allows you to cycle down sensitivity stages. Once you reach the lowest DPI, you will go to the highest DPI in the next press.
