CONFIGURING YOUR RAZER COBRA VIA RAZER SYNAPSE
SYNAPSE TAB
The Synapse tab is your default tab when you first launch Razer Synapse. This tab allows you to navigate the Dashboard subtab.
Dashboard
The Dashboard subtab is an overview of your Razer Synapse, where you can access all your Razer devices, modules, and online services.

The Mouse tab is the main tab for your Razer Cobra. From here, you can change your device’s settings, such as button assignment, DPI sensitivity, and lighting. Changes under this tab are automatically saved to your system and cloud storage.
Customize
The Customize subtab is for modifying your mouse’s button assignments.
Profile
A Profile is a data storage for keeping all your Razer peripherals’ settings. By default, the profile name is based on your system’s name. To add, rename, duplicate, or delete a profile, simply press the Miscellaneous button.
Standard / Hypershift
Hypershift mode is a secondary set of button assignments activated when the Hypershift key is held down. By default, the Hypershift key is assigned to the fn key of your Razer Synapse-supported keyboard. However, you can also set any mouse button as a Hypershift key.
Sidebar
Clicking the Sidebar button will reveal all current button assignments for your Razer Cobra.
Upon selecting a button assignment, you may then change it to one of the following functions:

You can also choose to enable Turbo mode in some of the mouse functions, which allows you to emulate repeatedly pressing and releasing said function while the button is held down.
Sensitivity
This function allows you to manipulate the DPI setting of your Razer Cobra with a touch of a button. Listed below are the Sensitivity options and their description:
- Sensitivity Clutch – Changes the sensitivity to a predefined DPI while the designated button is held down. Releasing the button will return it to the previous sensitivity.

Performance
The Performance subtab allows you to modify the sensitivity, acceleration, and polling rate.
- Sensitivity
Sensitivity refers to the distance the cursor will travel based on how far the mouse moved. The higher the DPI, the farther the cursor will travel, given the same mouse movement distance. - 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 DPI cycle button. - Polling Rate
The higher the polling rate, the more often the computer receives information about the status of your mouse, effectively reducing input latency and improving your mouse pointer’s reaction time. You can switch between 125Hz, 500Hz, and 1000Hz by selecting your desired polling rate from the options provided. - Mouse Properties
Access the Windows Mouse Properties, where you can modify operating system settings that directly affect your mouse. - Lighting
The Lighting subtab enables you to modify your Razer device’s light settings.
Brightness
You can turn off your Razer device’s lighting by toggling the Brightness option or increase/decrease the luminance using the slider.
Switch Off Lighting
This power-saving tool allows you to disable your device’s lighting in response to your system’s display turning off and/or automatically power down when your Razer Cobra has been idle for a set time.
Quick effects
Several quick effects can be selected and applied to your mouse’s lighting, as listed here:
If you have other supported Razer Chroma-enabled devices, you can synchronize their quick effects with your Razer device by clicking the Chroma Sync button.
Advanced Effects
The Advanced Effects option allows you to choose a Chroma Effect you want to use on your Razer Chroma-enabled peripheral. To start making your own Chroma Effect, simply press the Chroma Studio button.

SAFETY AND MAINTENANCE
SAFETY GUIDELINES
To achieve maximum safety while using your Razer Cobra, we suggest that you adopt the following guidelines: Should you have trouble operating the device properly and troubleshooting does not work, unplug the device and contact the Razer hotline or go to support.razer.com for support.
Don’t take apart the device, and don’t attempt to operate it under abnormal current loads. Doing so will void your warranty.
Keep the device away from liquid, humidity, or moisture. Operate the device only within the specific temperature range of 0°C (32°F) to 40°C (104°F). Should the temperature exceed this range, unplug and/or switch off the device to stabilize the temperature to an optimal level.
COMFORT
Research has shown that long periods of repetitive motion, improper positioning of your computer peripherals, incorrect body position, and poor habits may be associated with physical discomfort and injury to nerves, tendons, and muscles. Below are some guidelines to avoid injury and ensure optimum comfort while using your Razer Cobra.
- Position your keyboard and monitor directly in front of you with your mouse next to it. Place your elbows next to your side, not too far away, and your keyboard within easy reach.
- Adjust the height of your chair and table so that the keyboard and mouse are at or below elbow-height.
- Keep your feet well supported, posture straight, and your shoulders relaxed.
- 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.
- Don’t rest your wrists on hard surfaces for long periods. Use a wrist rest to support your wrist while gaming.
- Don’t sit in the same position all day. Get up, step away from your desk and do exercises to stretch your arms, shoulders, neck, and legs.
MAINTENANCE AND USE
The Razer Cobra requires minimum maintenance to keep it in optimum condition. Once a month, we recommend you unplug the device from the computer and clean it using a soft cloth or cotton swab to prevent dirt buildup. Don’t use soap or harsh cleaning agents.
To get the ultimate experience in movement and control, we highly recommend a premium mouse mat from Razer. Some surfaces will cause undue wear on the feet requiring constant care and eventual replacement.
Do note that the Razer Cobra’s sensor is ‘tuned’ or optimized specially for the Razer mouse mats. This means the sensor has been tested extensively to confirm that the Razer Cobra reads and tracks best on Razer mouse mats.
