Install Razer drivers without installing Razer Synapse

[Chaoses-Ib]

I also found that you can actually install the RzComDriver without Synapse. There are various logs generated by razer synapse and one of them is Manifest.log this contains an XML manifest of all software products from razer. I have a console app I wrote in c# that actually uses the C# API used by Razers software to download the same Manifest file.

Within the Manifest, there is a link to the full Razer Synapse install (eg: https://cdn.razersynapse.com/1665042231FcnE6gEARazerSynapseSetup_v3.7.1015.100615.exe).

This exe is in a format that can be extracted from and within the $PLUGINSDIR RzComDriver_vx.x.xx.x.exe exists which is the Razer Common Control Driver.

This is an amazing discovery. I will test it to see if it works properly.

The driver is installed by Nanoleaf, not Razer Synapse.

[lingwebber]

@Chaoses-Ib , How to install these? I have installed but nothing is opening

[Chaoses-Ib]

Yeah, there is no GUI so you won't see anything. Just try to use IbInputSimulator to use the Razer driver.

[re-learning]

I've downloaded the razer synapse 3.7, extracted and installed RzComDriver. However nothing seems to work when i try to move mouse. I dont have a razer device. Do I need an older version?

[Chaoses-Ib]

Have you tried to install Nanoleaf listed above?

[re-learning]

I will try it tomorrow and report back

[re-learning]

Installing nanoleaf directly without extracting did work, thanks
