Razer Macros: How to Toggle / Hold Any Key or Mouse Button on Synapse 3

[@Hobokamera]

Thank you for making this video. Making the second macro fixed the issue I was having. I was trying to use the toggle option to hold down W, and my computer not happy with the fact that W never never got turned off.

[@KyberGaming47]

Same man i wanted it for war thunder so i can "multitask" while throttling/climbing in air battles

[@GymmyRhys]

well ofcourse... what did you expect... you're telling the computer that when you press the button; that it gets held down forever, you never told the computer that pressing the button again unpresses the button, so ofcourse you would obviously have to tell the computer that you need to press the button again to unpress the button...

[@bradleyborg9889]

Creating two different macros and then binding them to two separate keys is not creating a key toggle! This is at best, a workaround. I appreciate your content. Ae you not surprised or bothered that there aren't any functions in Synapse that allow us to do these types of simple functions? There should be an option for every key in the basic "Keyboard Tab" section of Synapse, that gives us the ability to alter keys' behavior. I.e. "Double-tapping" (Where pressing a key down registers as a complete press and release, then releasing the key initiates another complete key press and release) "Toggle functionality" (An actual toggle function capability for any key) "Double-tap to hold", etc. It would be easier to bake these things into the UI of the normal Synapse modules instead of having to use wonky macros to make them. Not to mention that macros should be able to be bound to at least simple key combinations, and hypershift keys should be able to retain their other functions, in addition to acting as the modifier.

[@k3gamerk3-gaming96]

Yes synapse should have better functions. Unfortunately if you want a key to stay pressed without having to manually hold it down, this is it. In Synapse 2 we didn't need the release macro, hitting the actual key would register as a release. However (last I checked), this will not work in Synapse 3 (except for mouse clicks).

[@MightyPotato22]

I FOUND A WAY!!! So it's one key toggle but has some flaws:So select your key that you want to toggle,assign macro,Toggle mode:Toggle continuous playback on/off using assigned key The macro itself: • Start LOOP Shift (only pressed down,delete other part) • End LOOP Shift (released) Set the loop to a higher number,like 100,1000 The higher the number the more you'll have to wait after you untoggle it for it to actually register but the less shift toggles you will get like for high number 5seconds it is pressed down a ms released,then pressed down again for 5 seconds,now if you press it when the loop is at let's say 1000cycle of 5000 you will have to wait another 4000 cycles(not much) for it to unpress,if lower the number the less you'll have to wait but you'll get more jitter for MC a number like 100 is fine,I also tested it with ac 4 the jitter there is more noticeable so I set to 1000-2000 Go on to en.key-test.ru to test what I'm talking about and experiment with different settings till you get the best result. Hope somebody actually reads this, because I'm quite happy I it works.

[@tested211]

There seems to be a bit of a hole in Synapse 3: I want to trigger "Alt-LMB" but the button settings in synapse don't allow you to add modifiers (such as :"alt") to mouse button presses. The alternative is a macro but macro's have no facility for a "sticky keys" function. (AFAIK) The best I have so far is Alt and LMB assigned to different buttons on the Tarterus and press them both at the same time. This works fine (as a sticky key) but it really should be possible to get it onto one button...

[@awfullawton4470]

You are an absolute genius thanks alot

[@SeniorfritoOfficial]

THANK you. This was driving me nuts. Everyone else says to set the binding to be continuous. That's what I was doing wrong.

[@bohmj0516]

I got my game to toggle in Synapse 3 by putting in a normal key press with a short delay of .1s on the key up. then set the macro to Toggle Continuous Playback when you bind it. the 0s delay on the Key down makes it fire again before the game even responds to the key release. Now while the macro is running it stays pressed the whole time and stops when the macro key is pressed again.

[@k3gamerk3-gaming96]

That's great, I'll have to try that

[@bohmj0516]

@@k3gamerk3-gaming96 I have found that in some games it makes a minor stutter as the macro resets, so I sometimes lengthen the delay to have my character look more normal with the downside being that if you set it to .5s delay then you lose some responsiveness to turning off the macro. FYI

[@mikeloeven]

It works but I am still disgusted at the razer devs for ignoring numerous requests to add a basic latched key function something that is incredibly simple to implement but instead of toggling on and off with a single key we still need to waste two buttons for a single command.

[@grimuk3817]

I have a problem that razer didn't seem to take in to account. I use a lot of 3D modelling software and middle mouse is to orbit the camera (around selected object) and SHIFT + MM (scroll click) is to pan left and right. The problem is I want to assign SHIFT + MM to a single key function, and synapse doesn't seem to allow a keyboard + Mouse function to be used together. Is there a work around or are razer just this short sighted?

[@k3gamerk3-gaming96]

Weird. I've done keyboard and mouse buttons before. But not the middle mouse button, just ctrl click. It's strange it won't work. Does the modeling software you use allow you to reassign that action?

[@grimuk3817]

@@k3gamerk3-gaming96 Yes, u are able to modify the key bindings, but Blender has 113 different keys it can use (136 input types). Buttons like "Left Shift" and "Right Shift" are counted separately. So that number will come down some. After iterating through the shortcuts I can tell you blender uses 100 different buttons on the keyboard. Here is the list of the used buttons: 'A', 'ACCENT_GRAVE', 'B', 'BACK_SLASH', 'BACK_SPACE', 'C', 'COMMA', 'D', 'DEL', 'DOWN_ARROW', 'E', 'EIGHT', 'END', 'EQUAL', 'ESC', 'F', 'F1', 'F10','F11', 'F12', 'F2', 'F3', 'F4', 'F5', 'F6', 'F7', 'F8', 'F9', 'FIVE', 'FOUR', 'G', 'H', 'HOME', 'I', 'INSERT', 'J', 'K', 'L', 'LEFT_ALT', 'LEFT_ARROW', 'LEFT_BRACKET', 'LEFT_CTRL', 'LEFT_SHIFT', 'M', 'MEDIA_FIRST', 'MEDIA_LAST', 'MEDIA_PLAY', 'MEDIA_STOP', 'MINUS', 'N', 'NINE', 'NONE', 'NUMPAD_0', 'NUMPAD_1', 'NUMPAD_2', 'NUMPAD_3', 'NUMPAD_4', 'NUMPAD_5', 'NUMPAD_6', 'NUMPAD_7', 'NUMPAD_8', 'NUMPAD_9', 'NUMPAD_ASTERIX', 'NUMPAD_ENTER', 'NUMPAD_MINUS', 'NUMPAD_PERIOD', 'NUMPAD_PLUS', 'NUMPAD_SLASH', 'O', 'ONE', 'P', 'PAGE_DOWN', 'PAGE_UP', 'PERIOD', 'Q', 'QUOTE', 'R', 'RET', 'RIGHT_ARROW', 'RIGHT_BRACKET', 'RIGHT_CTRL', 'RIGHT_SHIFT', 'S', 'SEMI_COLON', 'SEVEN', 'SIX', 'SLASH', 'SPACE', 'T', 'TAB', 'THREE', 'TWO', 'U', 'UP_ARROW', 'V', 'W', 'X', 'Y', 'Z', 'ZERO' Making the action of reassigning functions even more problematic.

[@k3gamerk3-gaming96]

If I understand correctly, you shouldn't have to bind the macro key in game. Just make sure the things that the macro is doing is bound. For example If M1 is a w macro to walk forward, make sure your game has w set to walk forward. If you don't have M keys, use something the game doesn't use.

[@k3gamerk3-gaming96]

If I understand correctly, you don't want a toggle. When you hold W you also want Shift held. This is pretty straight forward. I recommend making a new profile for this game. View your keyboard and click on w to remap it. Select keyboard function and key recording. Hit Shift W, and save. Done. Now if you want to use shift for some other function, switch that around first, and pair the new sprint key with w for the remapping.
