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.

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 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.
