6. CONFIGURING YOUR RAZER DEATHADDER Disclaimer: The features listed here require you to log in to Razer Synapse. These features are also subject to change based on the current software version and your Operating System. MOUSE TAB The Mouse Tab is your default tab when you first install Razer Synapse. This tab allows you to customize your device’s profiles, button assignments, performance, lighting and calibration.
PROFILE A profile is a convenient way of organizing all your custom settings and you can have an infinite number of profiles at your disposal. Any changes made within each tab are automatically saved to the current profile and stored into the cloud servers. You can create a new profile by clicking the button or delete the current profile by clicking the button. The button allows you to Copy, Import, and Export profiles.
CUSTOMIZE TAB The Customize Tab is where you can modify the basic functionalities of your device such as button assignments to suit your gaming needs. The changes made in this tab are automatically saved to your current profile.
BUTTON ASSIGNMENT MENU Initially, each of the mouse buttons is set to DEFAULT. However, you may change the function of these buttons by clicking the desired button to access the Button Assignment Menu. Listed below are the customization options and their descriptions. Default This option enables you to return the key to its original function. To choose the DEFAULT, simple select it from the Button Assignment Menu.
Keyboard Function This option enables you to change the mouse buttons into keyboard functions. To choose a keyboard function, select KEYBOARD FUNCTION from the Button Assignment Menu and enter the key you wish to use on the given field below. You may also include modifier keys such as Ctrl, Shift, Alt or any of those combinations. Mouse Function This option allows you to change the mouse buttons into other mouse functions.
Macro A Macro is a prerecorded sequence of keystrokes and button presses that is executed with precise timing. By assigning a Macro to a button, you can execute complex combinations with ease. The ASSIGN MACRO allows you to choose which recorded Macro to use while the PLAYBACK OPTION enables you to choose the behavior of the Macro. See the MACROS TAB to learn more about creating Macro commands. Sensitivity Sensitivity refers to how fast the mouse pointer can travel across the screen.
Switch Profile The Switch Profile enables you to change profiles on the fly and immediately load all your preconfigured settings. When you select Switch Profile from the Button Assignment Menu, a sub-menu will appear that will allow you to choose which profile to use.

Disable This option renders the assigned button unusable.
PERFORMANCE TAB The Performance Tab allows you to enhance the speed and precision of your mouse pointer. Similar to the Customize Tab, the changes made here are automatically saved to your current profile. Listed below are the performance options and their descriptions. Sensitivity Sensitivity pertains to how much effort is needed to move the mouse pointer in any direction. The higher the sensitivity, the more responsive the mouse will be.
Enable X-Y Sensitivity By default, the X-axis (horizontal) and Y-axis (vertical) use the same sensitivity values. However, you may set different sensitivity values to each of the axes by selecting the ENABLE X-Y SENSITIVITY option. Configure Sensitivity Stages A sensitivity stage is a preset sensitivity value. You can create up to 5 different sensitivity stages which you can cycle through using the sensitivity stage up/down buttons. You may use the ENABLE X-Y SENSITIVITY concurrently with this option.
LIGHTING TAB The Lighting Tab allows you to configure the LEDs of your Razer DeathAdder. Simply toggle the ON or OFF options to enable or disable the Scroll Wheel and Logo lighting. Similar to the previous tabs, the changes made here are also automatically saved to your current profile.
CALIBRATION TAB The Calibration Tab allows you to optimize your Razer Precision Sensor to any mousing surface for better tracking. To use this feature, you must select the ON option under SURFACE CALIBRATION. The LIFTOFF RANGE allows you to set the distance in which the sensor stops tracking as it is being lifted away from its mousing surface. To use this feature, you must first activate SURFACE CALIBRATION then choose an appropriate mousing surface.
Razer Mouse Mats The Razer DeathAdder is ‘tuned’ or optimized especially for Razer mouse mats. This means that the sensor has been tested extensively to confirm that the Razer DeathAdder reads and tracks best when paired with Razer mouse mats. If you are using a Razer mouse mat, click the button to access the Razer Mats submenu. This menu showcases an extensive list of Razer-branded mouse mats. Select the appropriate mouse mat from the list; then choose between SPEED or CONTROL if applicable.
Other Mousing Surfaces If you are using a non-Razer mouse mat or a non-standard mousing surface, select OTHERS then click the submenu.
This submenu enables you to manually adjust the Razer Precision Sensor to suit any mousing surface. To begin calibrating the sensor, click the button. After clicking the button, Razer Synapse will begin tuning the sensor. Please avoid moving the Razer DeathAdder during this time.
Once the Razer Precision Sensor is ready, press and hold the left mouse button then move the mouse across your entire mousing surface in a zigzag pattern as shown on the screen guide. When you have moved through your entire mousing surface, release the left mouse button. This will bring you back to the manual calibration submenu which contains new information regarding your mousing surface.
MACROS TAB The Macros Tab allows you to create a series of precise keystrokes and button presses. This tab also allows you to have numerous macros and extremely long macro commands at your disposal. The Macro section works similarly to Profile wherein you can rename a macro by typing on the field below MACRO NAME.
The Macro section allows you to input the delay in-between commands. In RECORD DELAY the delay in-between commands are registered as how it is entered. The DEFAULT DELAY uses a predefined time (expressed in seconds) as the delay. And NO DELAY omits all the pauses in-between keystrokes and button presses. Note: You may use up to three decimal places when inserting values on the seconds (sec) field.
Once you have recorded a macro, you may edit the commands you have entered by selecting each command on the macro screen. Each keystroke or button press is arranged sequentially with the first command shown at the top of the screen. The button allows you to edit a particular command and the enables you to delete a command. The and button buttons gives you the option to move the command up or down.
Once you have pressed the button, a new display window will appear beside the list of macro commands. The dropdown menu on this window allows you to choose a keystroke or a delay to be added in before or after the highlighted macro command.
You may add in a new set of macro commands by clicking the button on the keystroke menu; or input time delays on the duration field using the delay menu.
7. SAFETY AND MAINTENANCE SAFETY GUIDELINES In order to achieve maximum safety while using your Razer DeathAdder, we suggest that you adopt the following guidelines: 1. Avoid looking directly at the tracking beam of your mouse or pointing the beam in anyone else’s eye. Note that the tracking beam is NOT visible to the naked human eye and is set on an Always-On mode. 2.
3. Keep your feet well supported, posture straight and your shoulders relaxed. 4. During gameplay, relax your wrist and keep it straight. If you do the same tasks with your hands repeatedly, try not to bend, extend or twist your hands for long periods. 5. Do not rest your wrists on hard surfaces for long periods. Use a wrist rest to support your wrist while gaming. 6. Customize the buttons on your mouse to suit your style of gaming in order to minimize repetitive or awkward motions while gaming. 7.
