Common Questions
What is the difference between the Classic Version and the original version?
Razer products were first launched with a distinctive blue, which was eventually replaced by the striking green of today. To pay homage to Razer’s origins we have released the classic version that that utilizes the signature blue LEDs while featuring current generation tech specs and features.
Since updating to Windows 10 Razer Synapse does not detect my device and show the correct product configurator. How to fix this?
If you encounter this, update your Synapse through Settings > Check for Updates. If the updates do not run or Synapse is unable to load, uninstall Synapse and download the latest Synapse Framework from the support site.
How do I clean my Razer headset?
We cannot say with certainty what type of dirt and debris may be on your product, or how certain cleaning products may react with it, but we have had good luck cleaning Razer products using commonly available monitor cleaning wipes.
- To clean the body of your Razer headset, gently wipe it with a monitor wipe.
- Do not scrub the surface of your Razer headset.
- When cleaning the earpads, make sure that the earcup and speaker do not get wet, as this can cause damage to your headset.

You will find the serial number located under the left ear pad of the headset. To view the serial number carefully peel back the foam cover of the ear pad.
