Razer Synapse 4 has just been released and this new software update is a big improvement

As part of the announcements at RazerCon 2024, it was revealed that a brand new version of Razer Synapse is available to download, and if you actively use Razer peripherals, it looks like a must-have app update thanks to a 30% performance increase over the previous version.

There were some exciting reveals during this year’s RazerCon show, from the ultra-premium Razer Kraken V4 Pro, which is expected to be the company’s new best gaming headset, to the innovative Razer Freyja haptic cushion. A reveal that may seem less impactful, but is actually quite significant, is the reveal of Razer Synapse 4. This new update not only makes the software run faster, but also brings with it some useful additional features.

All of Razer Synapse 3’s existing features remain, but this latest version brings some additional features specifically for some of Razer’s best gaming mice. These include One-Step DPI Adjustment, which allows more precise control over your mouse settings, and Sensitiviy Matcher Calibration, which allows you to transfer DPI settings across multiple Razer mice. Meanwhile, the improved asymmetrical cut-off allows for finer tuning of takeoff and landing distances.

Razer’s Snap Tap feature is also getting better support despite the Snap Tap CS2 ban, after announcing it will be rolling out to more keyboards and even the Blade laptops.

Another big improvement concerns the user interface, which is now much more intuitive and presents all the devices you manage in a clearer way. This also means you can adjust the settings of individual peripherals much more quickly since you don’t have to search for the device you want to adjust.

Speaking of speed, Razer also claims that Synapse 4 runs 30% faster than Synapse 3 based on its own testing. Despite this increase in efficiency, there doesn’t appear to be any additional load on your system that could potentially disrupt gameplay. Razer Synapse 4 is available to download now from the Razer website.
