I'm trying remove Razer's software because it has been preventing my computers from sleeping for years and I've had enough. I've found four uninstallers so far but they have not removed all the Razer software. How do I completely remove their crappy software?

Also I am now looking for a new mouse to replace my Razer Naga Epic with. My only requirements are that it has a number pad on it for MMO's like the Razer Naga and works with all games not just a single game like the Steel Series WoW mouse I tried before I got the Naga. Any recommendations?
 
Use Windows, Control Panel, Uninstall Programs.

Or try -

After switching mouses, you can do the following to remove the device and corresponding driver from your system;

Hit WinKey+X on your keyboard, and from the pop-up menu, select Device Manager.
In the Device Manager, click on Mice and other pointing devices.
In the drop down menu, right click on your Razer mouse and select Uninstall.
A new window will pop up. In this window, click on Delete the driver software for this device.
Now follow the on-screen instructions to remove the driver and restart your machine when asked to do so.
And that's it. Now the driver from your Razer mouse will be completely removed.

I don't know for sure with Razer, but you might also want to check the Programs & Features menu to see if there are any left over programs in there. To do so, hit WinKey+X on your keyboard, select Programs & Features from the pop-up menu and scan the list for any Razer software.
If found, right click the entry and select Uninstall. Then follow the on-screen instructions and restart your machine afterwards.

Everything you mentioned. There were two uninstallers in the uninstall programs options. I tried removing the drivers from device manager. I've checked the Programs and features menu and disabled the software from Razer. They still have left a bunch of software installed on my PC. I've even found a bunch of installers in their file structure and I've used them with only one of their programs uninstalling from there.
