How to customize the Razer Key Light Chroma

| Answer ID: 5911
This answer will show you how to customize the Razer Key Light Chroma.

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.

 

Before you begin, download and install the latest version of Razer Streaming App or the Razer Synapse.
Note: It is recommended to use the Razer Streaming App to customize the Razer Key Light Chroma.

 

Important:

  • Make sure your PC or mobile device is in the same Wi-Fi network when customizing the Razer Key Light Chroma.

  • If your router is with Delivery Traffic Indication Message or DTIM, change the default DTIM value which is three to one. This is to ensure timely message delivery to connected devices. Refer to your router’s manual for a guide in changing DTIM values.
