Installation: Configuration roadmap
- Mobile:
If you haven’t already done so, install your smart lights or gaming accessories over the local
2.4GHz Wifi network using the CALEX Mobile App. (Follow the pairing instructions displayed
on the screen to add (new) devices). Note that not all devices are compatible with Razer
Chroma Connect. The CALEX Gaming application displays only those devices that are
compatible. - Desktop:
Make sure you have the Calex Gaming Desktop App installed and activated. If you don't have it installed yet, click here to download it. - Desktop:
Visit https://www.razer.com/synapse-3 to download and install Razer Synapse on your
Windows PC. Create an account or login with your already existing Razer account and
download the Razer Synapse 3 software. During installation, make sure you select the
Chroma Connect module as this is necessary to synchronize the CALEX Gaming software with
Razer Synapse. After installation, do not close Razer Synapse, but keep it active. - Mobile:
Open the CALEX Mobile App and click on the “Me” icon in the menu bar at the bottom right of
the screen, then click on the “Scan” icon in the top right corner.
Using the camera on your cell phone, scan the QR Code shown in the CALEX Gaming
Desktop App and confirm the login details. This will automatically log you in and sync your
CALEX account with the compatible smart devices! - Desktop:
In the CALEX Gaming Desktop App, click on the “Enable All Devices” switch or enable them one
by one by clicking on each device’s sync switch to add the devices to Razer Synapse and
integrate them within the Razer Solution.
Once enabled, choose the “zone” to which you want to assign each CALEX Gaming supporting
device; these zones correspond to the zones (color segments) and effects available in the
Razer Chroma Studio.
You can now control your CALEX Gaming devices directly from your Windows desktop or laptop!
For the CALEX Gaming Desktop application to work correctly, it must be granted access to the
local network (LAN communication). Allow access to private networks in your computer’s firewall
settings.

Room Management/Room Arrangement (Canvas):
This screen serves as the canvas on which you can position all devices as you wish. The four colour segments at the bottom of the screen become controlled by the Razer Synapse software. Depending on where you position the device, it takes on the colour of the active segment.
Tips for Synapse Razer Chroma RGB:
- Under the CONNECT tab, you can use “Quick Effects” to give your CALEX Gaming devices
effects such as “Static” or “Spectrum Cycling.” - On the Studio tab, you can adjust your lights based on various advanced effects such as
“Ambient Awareness,” which allows your lights to match the colors of selected areas on
your screen. - The VISUALIZER tab lets you activate sound and media reflex effects while playing your
favorite music, games and videos.
For the CALEX Gaming Desktop App to work correctly, it must be allowed access to your
local network (LAN communication). Allow access to private networks in your computer’s
firewall settings. Allow apps through firewall on Windows:
Use these steps to allow an app through the Windows 10/11 firewall:
- Open Windows Security.
- Click Firewall & Network protection
- Click the Allow an app through firewall
- Click the Change Settings button.
- Check the app (CALEX Gaming) or feature you want to allow through the Windows firewall
- Check what type of networks an app has access to:
a. Private – Gives access to the home or work network.
b. Public – Gives access to the network in a public space - Click the OK button
Once you complete these steps, the app will have full access to your local network.
Frequently asked questions:
My lights are not syncing with Razer Synapse:
Make sure you have Chrome Connect installed and “CALEX Gaming” enabled/activated in
Synapse -> Connect -> Devices
If you don’t see the CALEX Gaming icon within the Synapse app, Chroma Connect may not be installed or may not be installed correctly. Open the Razer app, go to settings and add the modules via the “add software” screen. For more information, please refer to the Razer website, where there are
detailed instructions on how to add the Chroma Connect integration.
Tip: After installing the Chroma Connect plug-in, restart your PC.
I see no light effects, is there any way to test this?
Open Synapse, go to Chroma Visualizer. From here you can activate Chroma Visualizer and select a
background effect of your choice. Make sure “preview” is enabled to see a live effect.
How do I get application updates for the CALEX Gaming Razer app?
The CALEX Gaming app checks for updates once a day. It is also possible to perform a manual check.
Click on the user and choose “check for updates.” The application will automatically download the
updates.
I just added new devices, I don’t see these listed yet?
It may take some time for these to become visible within the CALEX Gaming app. To speed up
synchronization, you can click on the (sync) icon. The devices will then be actively retrieved from the
network.
I don’t see the CALEX Gaming plug-in within Synapse Razer application listed?
