Let’s get started!

So, What is Razer Hypershift? Razer Hypershift is a mode that gives a player the ability to use a secondary function key on their keyboard or mouse.

It should be known that keyboards or mice have multiple functions, especially when they are combined by other keys when pressing.

I can also say that if you press the Razer Hypershift key, it will toggle the default functionality of the particular switch of the mouse or the switch of the keyboard to the assigned secondary functionality configured in Razer Synapse 2 or 3.

When in the game of Fortnite, the more abilities a player has at his disposal, the better. This is because he has more weapons that he can use to defend himself. 

One of these abilities is Hypershift, a key that allows players to use multiple abilities with a single push. Think of it as a key that unleashes a secondary ability.

What does Razer Hypershift do?

Being an additional mode, it allows players to add secondary functions to already existing keys of your keyboard. With the help of Razer Hypershift, players can set or at least have multiple functions for various keys on their keyboard. 

The good thing about Razer Hypershift is that it is not limited to the keyboard only; the added functions are also available on the Razer mouse. 

Where is the Hypershift key?

Hypershift is not a key that you can locate on your keyboard; instead, it is a mode that is activated by pressing and holding the Hypershift key (fn), which is found right of the space bar. 

Additionally, the Hypershift key is among the keys you cannot configure to give a secondary function. 

How do you use Hypershift?

Ideally, almost all keys retain their default behavior when you press the Hypershift key. With that said, you will need first to configure this mode. 

Once you have installed the Hypershift function, press and hold the Hypershift key ‘fn’ and then press your preferred key regarding the command, you want to input. It is just like you do with other keyboard shortcuts.
