Connecting Razer Synapse to Alexa allows you to control your Razer devices and lighting effects with simple voice commands. The process involves installing the Alexa module within Synapse, then linking your Amazon account.
Step 1: Install the Amazon Alexa Module in Razer Synapse 3
Before you can link your accounts, you need to ensure the Amazon Alexa module is installed within your Razer Synapse 3 software.
- Open Razer Synapse 3: Launch the Razer Synapse application on your PC.
- Navigate to Modules: On the top menu bar within Synapse, click on the "Modules" tab.
- Find and Install Alexa: Scroll through the list of available modules. Locate the "Amazon Alexa" module and click the "Install" button next to it.
- Restart Synapse (if prompted): After installation, you may be prompted to restart Razer Synapse. Follow any on-screen instructions.
Step 2: Link Your Amazon Account within Razer Synapse
Once the Alexa module is successfully installed, you can proceed to link your Amazon account, which fully integrates Alexa with your Razer setup.
- Re-open Razer Synapse: Make sure Razer Synapse is open.
- Access the Alexa Tab: If you have successfully added the module, an "Alexa" tab should now be available in the main interface. Click on this tab to proceed with the connection.
- Log in with Amazon: You will be prompted to log in with your Amazon account credentials. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the login process. This step authorizes Synapse to interact with your Alexa account.
Once logged in, your Razer Synapse is connected to Alexa, enabling voice control for your compatible Razer devices.
What You Can Do with Alexa and Razer Synapse
With the integration complete, you can use Alexa voice commands to control various aspects of your Razer setup, including:
- RGB Lighting Configuration: As suggested by the integration, you can use Alexa to configure and change RGB lighting effects on your Razer Chroma-enabled devices. For example, you might say, "Alexa, set my keyboard to green" or "Alexa, start the Fire effect on my mouse."
- Switching Profiles: Depending on future updates and device capabilities, you may be able to switch between different Razer Synapse profiles using voice commands.
