Popular apps in Gaming

If you’ve ever used a Razer gaming keyboard or mouse, or any other Razer peripheral with your Mac, you will have installed Razer Synapse. This tool allows you to configure settings on Razer devices, such as allocating functions to the buttons on mice, adjusting sensitivity, and creating macros from keyboard combinations.

While Razer’s support for Windows versions of Synapse appears to be very good, that’s not necessarily the case with the Mac version, which tends to lag behind when it comes to new features and upgrades. Or, you may have installed it and want to keep using it, but have noticed that it’s causing problems for your Mac, maybe by crashing or hitting performance. It’s possible, then, that if you’ve downloaded Synapse for the Mac, you may have decided that it’s not worth using it, perhaps because you now use a Windows machine to configure your Razer devices. If that’s the case, you should uninstall it. The rest of this article will show you how to do that.

How to uninstall Razer Synapse on your Mac

The easiest way to uninstall Razer Synapse on a Mac is to use its own uninstaller, if you have it.

How To Download Razer Synapse 3 On Mac
  1. Go to Applications>Utilities and look for ‘Uninstall Razer Synapse.’
  2. If you find it, double-click on it and follow the instructions when it launches.

If you can’t find the uninstaller, you can uninstall it manually.

The first thing you should do is quit any running processes — while you’re doing that, you can check whether Synapse is the cause of any performance issues your Mac is having.

  1. Go to Applications>Utilities and double-click on Activity Monitor to launch it.
  2. Look through the list of running processes for anything with ‘razer synapse’ in its name.
  3. If you find one or more processes, take a look at their RAM and CPU usage and compare it with other processes, that will give you an idea if it’s hogging resources.
  4. When you’re ready, select each Razer Synapse process in turn and press the Quit Process button in the tool bar.
  5. Quit Activity Monitor.

Once you’ve deleted running processes, you can move to the next stage and delete the application.

  1. Go to your Applications folder and look for the Razer Synapse app.
  2. When you find it, drag it to the Trash.
  3. Click on Finder in the Dock and choose the Go menu.
  4. Select Go to Folder and paste this location in the box: /Library/Application Support/Razer
  5. Drag the Razer folder to the Trash.
  6. Repeat step 4, this time paste: ~/Library/Cache
  7. Locate the file ‘com.razerzone.RzUpdater’ and drag it to the Trash
  8. Repeat step 4 again and navigate to: /Library/FrameWorks
  9. Remove the following files:

    RzAudioSettings.framework

    RzSkinToolkit.framework

    RzStorageSDK.framework

  10. Now, navigate to: /Library/Extensions/
  11. Remove: RazerHid.kext

  3. Look for the two files listed below and drag them to the Trash

4. Empty the Trash

Tip:

CleanMyMac X can also remove launch agents quickly and easily.


It works like this:

  1. Launch CleanMyMac X.
  2. Choose Optimization in the sidebar.
  3. Select Launch Agents.
  4. Locate the launch agents you want to remove and check the box next to them.
  5. Press Remove.
  6. Type in your user password when prompted.

The last step is to remove the certificate Razer Synapse leaves in your Keychain.

  1. Go to Applications>Utilities.
  2. Launch Keychain Access.
  3. Choose My Certificates.
  4. Look for anything with ‘Razer’ in its name.
  5. Press the Delete key.
  6. Quit Keychain Access.

If you prefer to be really hardcore and use the Terminal to uninstall apps, you can do that, too. However, as with doing anything with Terminal, you should only do it if you know how to use Terminal commands and know what each one does. Use these commands:

Razer
  1. Go to Applications>Utilities and launch Terminal.
