My Razer keyboard keeps changing the default language on my system when Synapse is opened.

Razer keyboards have a default language set in their firmware. Once Razer Synapse loads up, it will read the default language on the keyboard and set the system keyboard to that layout. To change the default layout, you’ll need to go back into your system settings and change it to your preferred language layout after you restart your computer and start Synapse. We are aware of this inconvenience and are looking into improving this in the future.

What is this «Gaming Mode» found in Razer keyboards?

Razer keyboards feature a «Gaming Mode» that allows the deactivation of the Windows key for specific applications preventing it from being pressed accidentally during games, so the user does not get alt-tabbed to desktop at critical moments.

What is Ultrapolling?

Ultrapolling is a technology developed by Razer that heightens the frequency of the keyboard reporting actuation information back to the computer.
