Razer Laptop Cooling Pad – Adaptive Smart Cooling.

Stay cool during intense gaming sessions with the Razer Laptop Cooling Pad. The ultimate intelligent cooling solution for 14” to 18” laptops. Featuring smart fan control, an airtight pressure chamber, and three magnetic frames to support a wide variety of laptops, this cooling pad is the ultimate companion for laptop users looking to maximize performance and optimize thermal management.

With smart cooling enabled, the Razer Laptop Cooling Pad will automatically adjust the fan speed based on temperature of key components for an optimal noise to performance ratio with minimal effort.

To achieve this performance the high-velocity 140 mm fan circulates cool air that is trapped within the airtight seals to be channeled throughout the system. In some cases, this high velocity air reduces CPU and GPU temperatures by as much as 18%.  Designed for wide compatibility, custom memory foam frames ensure a tight fit for Windows and fanless laptops from 14” to 18″.

The cooling pad also includes remappable multi-functions button for controlling fan speed and the Razer Chroma™ RGB lighting that adorns the front of the stand. Through Razer Synapse, users can access preset or personalized fan curves for automated cooling efficiency. To ensure long term use a dust filter is included to reduce the amount of foreign contaminants introduced as the fan cools systems over time.

Razer Synapse 4 – Faster, Smoother, Smarter

After nearly a year of intensive beta testing and valuable input from our dedicated community, Razer is officially rolling out the all-new Razer Synapse 4. Fine-tuned to deliver unprecedented levels of customization, performance and ease of use, Synapse 4 elevates the gaming experience to new heights.

With a remarkable 30% increase in overall processing speed compared to its predecessor, Synapse 4 allows gamers to perform popular tasks like macro creation, settings configuration and driver installation more efficiently. The brand-new multi-threaded architecture enhances system stability by compartmentalizing devices, ensuring that the installation or upgrading of one device does not disrupt the performance of others.

Synapse 4 also introduces a modernized user interface designed for simpler navigation and streamlined customization, including floating tips and centralized settings management. It is backward compatible with Synapse 3 devices and retains popular Synapse 3 features such as Razer Hypershift, which allows a single button to temporarily unlock an additional set of functions on top of existing button assignments, Rapid Trigger for effortless rapid keystrokes, and Advanced Macros for executing complex button presses with a single click.

Synapse 4 also includes features like 1 DPI Steps Adjustments for achieving pixel-perfect sensitivity with single DPI step increments, Sensitivity Matcher Calibration for accurately porting over DPI settings across Razer mice, and Enhanced Asymmetric Cut-Off, which allows gamers to adjust both mice lift-off and landing distances with greater accuracy, tailoring the setup to precise gaming preferences.

Synapse 4 also allows users to enable Razer Snap Tap, enhancing keyboard responsiveness by prioritizing the latest input between two selected keys without requiring the release of the previous key. Initially available on the Razer Huntsman V3 Pro line of analog gaming keyboards, Synapse 4 now allows fans to enable Snap Tap on more Razer keyboards and even Razer Blade gaming laptops.
