Common Questions
What does the thumb-pad do? And how do the other buttons on the Razer keypad function?

Troubleshooting FAQs
Since updating to Windows 10, Razer Synapse does not detect my device and show the correct product configurator.
If you encounter this, perform a Synapse update. Click on the gear icon at the top-right corner of the Synapse window to access the Settings and click “CHECK FOR UPDATES”. If the updates are not able to run or Synapse not able to load, uninstall Synapse and download the latest Synapse Framework from the Razer support site.
Since I started using Windows 10, my computer will not go into sleep mode and my screen saver mode will not come on.
This happens due to a compatibility issues between Joystick devices and Windows 10. To avoid this, disable the game controller device under Device Manager > Human Interface Device > HID-compliant Game Controller. However, note that when you disable the game controller, you might lose virtual joystick-related features in Synapse.

Hardware
Are Razer products available in PS/2 versions? Can I use the products with a USB to PS2 adapter?
Razer products are only available and supported in USB mode only. There are no plans to release a PS/2 version, and they will not function properly using a USB to PS2 adapter.
How can I modify or disassemble my Razer product?

How do I clean my Razer Orbweaver?
The overall finish can be cleaned with wipes generally used for cleaning your computer monitor or sunglasses. Ensure that the surface is free of large dust particles or debris before wiping the surface with any product. Wiping debris into the surface can lead to minor scratches on the surface of the unit.
If you wish to clean under the key caps, Razer suggests holding the unit upside down and/or using compressed air from a can. We do not recommend removing the keycaps from your mechanical switches.
We suggest unplugging the device from your computer before cleaning.
Note: Under no circumstances should you ever submerge the keyboard in any type of liquid. Submerging the keyboard in any liquid will void the warranty on your keyboard.

A keymap is a temporary switch of button assignments within a profile. The switch needs to be triggered by pressing a keymap switch button and can either change the keymap only while you hold that designated keymap switch button or cycle through keymaps every time you press the keymap switch button.
Note that while a profile stores information such as dpi or lighting, a keymap purely deals with button assignments.
