Also Available: Download Razer Synapse for Windows
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.
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.
Once you’ve deleted running processes, you can move to the next stage and delete the application.
Did you know?
You can uninstall apps much more easily and quickly using a dedicated uninstaller like the one in CleanMyMac X. It removes all the files associated with an app with one click, removing the need to locate and remove files manually.
Here’s how it works:
That’s it! CleanMyMac will now uninstall the app and remove all the files it placed on your Mac.
Razer Synapse Update
Another option, if you’re not sure you want to uninstall Razer Synapse, is to reset it. That may solve any problems you’re having with it and allow you to keep it. You can do that in CleanMyMac X, using the Uninstaller tool. At step 5, above, when you’ve checked the Razer Synapse app, click on the dropdown menu labelled ‘uninstall’ and choose ‘reset’. Then press the Reset button at the bottom of the window.
Remove Launch Agents
You will also need to remove launch agents that Razer Synapse installs:
com.razer.rzupdater.plist file
com.razerzone.rzdeviceengine.plist
4. Empty the Trash
Tip:
CleanMyMac X can also remove launch agents quickly and easily.
It works like this:
The last step is to remove the certificate Razer Synapse leaves in your Keychain.
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 Synapse For Mac Sierra Prolaunchctl remove com.razer.rzupdater
launchctl remove com.razerzone.rzdeviceengine
sudo rm /Library/LaunchAgents/com.razer.rzupdater.plist
Razer Synapse For Mac Sierra Vistasudo rm /Library/LaunchAgents/com.razerzone.rzdeviceengine.plist
3. Remove the kernel extensions with this command:
sudo rm -Rf /Library/Extensions/RazerHid.kext
4. Drag the Razer Synapse app from the Applications folder to the Trash.
5. Remove files from the Application Support with the following commands:
sudo rm -rf /Library/Application Support/Razer/
rm -rf ~/Library/Application Support/Razer/
6. Remove files from the Library Frameworks folder with these commands:
sudo rm -rf /Library/Frameworks/RzAudioSettings.framework/
![]() sudo rm -rf /Library/Frameworks/RzSkinToolkit.framework/
sudo rm -rf /Library/Frameworks/RzStorageSDK.framework/
Razer Synapse Mac High Sierra
7. Restart your Mac.
Razer Synapse is a utility application for Razer’s range of gaming peripherals including mice and keyboards, and allows them to be configured on your Mac. However, Mac support lags behind that on Windows and you may decide you want to uninstall it, especially if you no longer use it. There are several ways to uninstall Razer Synapse on a Mac, but the easiest is to use CleanMyMac X.
