If not, I guess I am stuck making these keybinds something silly like ALT+SHIFT+F1-F10, ALT+CTRL+F1-F10, SHIFT+CTRL+. Razer doesn't offer special keybinds specific to their products, right? I seem to recall that being a thing with Logitech, but I guess I haven't owned any of their stuff in well more than a decade now. The only thing that bugs me about this method is. Maybe I can sidestep it a bit? After I had made this post, I got to thinking that another potential work-around would be to start using a single profile in Synapse, and start using AHK to remap the buttons on both my Orbweaver and Naga when I need something off-standard. So, it would appear that Synapse is the weak link here. Timeliness aside, there is also the issue of how Synapse handles profile switching with linked programs - it checks the active window rather than open processes, and swaps back to the default when you get off that window. I was needing something far more immediate. Part of the problem, and why I was hoping to accomplish this through VA in the first place, is how slowly Synapse processed the profile switching. That's some clever thinking! Unfortunately, I'm not sure how well it might work in practice. Then, you speak "switch to profile two" VoiceAttack stops "dummy1.exe" and starts "dummy2.exe", making Synapse switch to "Profile2", etc. ![]() you have "dummy1.exe" linked to "Profile1", so you speak "switch to profile one", whereupon VoiceAttack starts "dummy1.exe", and Synapse switches to "Profile1". ![]() Have VoiceAttack open the Razer Synapse software, and use mouse and/or keyboard actions to switch profiles This will require tabbing out of the game, and waiting for the window to pop up, not ideal at all.Īlternatively, you could make use of the application-linked automatic profile switching normally used to switch to a profile when a game starts, for example, by having VoiceAttack start and stop dummy executables(which would just sit idle in the background) linked to profiles, to make Synapse auto-switch to different profiles at will.Į.G. ![]() I'd say you have two options(provided you can't find a method to set profiles programmatically): Next I got to thinking AHK might be the ticket, but I'm pretty basic in my knowledge of that as well right now.Īny thoughts on something like this? Perhaps I'm better off figuring out the AHK side of things first, then just plugging that into VA?įrom what I can find, Razer doesn't offer a macro-related API, and Synapse doesn't appear to have command line arguments for changing profiles. but no dice finding anything on possible commands there. I was thinking it could possibly be done via target commands in different shortcuts for Synapse. After a bit of Googling, I haven't found any obvious way to go about it, let alone a direction to even start on. To that end, one thing I've always wished I could be doing with VA is, as the title suggests, using it to switch profiles in Razer Synapse. Lately I've wanted to see what kind of trouble I can get myself into by diving head first into some of the more advanced stuff, and to start this venture off right, I want to look into something that. I've been using VoiceAttack for quite some time now, though by and large, on a very basic level. ![]()
