# How to uninstall Razer Synapse 2 ( https://www.razerzone.com/synapse-2 ) # on OS X (10.11-10.13) (El Capitan, Sierra, High Sierra) # without using Razer's official uninstall tool. # Tested on OS X 10.11.5 in July 2016. # Edited with additional steps for later OS X versions, # contributed by commenters on this gist. # Step 1: In your terminal: stop and remove launch agents launchctl remove com.razer.rzupdater launchctl remove com.razerzone.rzdeviceengine sudo rm /Library/LaunchAgents/com.razer.rzupdater.plist sudo rm /Library/LaunchAgents/com.razerzone.rzdeviceengine.plist # Step 2: Remove HID kernel extension. sudo rm -Rf /System/Library/Extensions/RazerHid.kext # OS X High Sierra: (Thanks to @DanThomson) sudo rm -Rf /Library/Extensions/RazerHid.kext # Step 3: Manually delete Razer Synapse app from Applications in Finder # Step 4: Delete Razer files from "Application Support" folders: sudo rm -rf /Library/Application\ Support/Razer/ rm -rf ~/Library/Application\ Support/Razer/ # Step 5: Synapse sometimes leaves a certificate installed in your Keychain. # To remove it, open Keychain Access and click on My Certificates. # The certificate will be called Razer USA Ltd, delete it. (Thanks to @MTCoster) # There might an item called RAZER_KEYCHAIN_ACCESS. No certificate, # but I suppose if you want to get rid of EVERYTHING Razer, # you may as well go ahead and delete that too. (Thanks to @blueExcess) # Step 6: Restart your Mac. # Expected results: # - The Razer icon should be gone from the OS X menu bar now, and also not pop up sporadically either # - The two processes "RzDeviceEngine" and "RzUpdater" should not be running when you check ActivityMonitor
