I am so tired of this software. You make a great item and then completely ruin the experience with this garbage software which is constantly crashing and just full of bloat. I think it may be time to stop using you guys altogether.

I had an 18 month old bug fixed. In the process no less than 12 new ones were created. They were reported as soon as possible and still exist almost 6 months later.

I quit using Synapse 3 months ago as I am so frustrated with this software. I have gone 3rd party for rgb control and created my own app to write profiles and change them per PROGRAM. I have Naga v2 pro, SteelSeries Aerox 5 and Tartarus v2 pro as of now. I created this in such a manner the user can discover and teach their own devices. I just want my products to work and I am so much closer than what I have in Synapse. At least I can fix my own issues with what has became available. 

I feel the pain and hope to find a solution to share as I have barely made progress talking to Razer support and have gave up on them.

Any chance you have something for key lights?

What do you mean? I am concentrating on things not covered by other 3rd party apps. Keybinds to profiles to be specific. Right now I am using SignalRGB. They added new LCD features and now my LCD sync to the rest of the system.

So my issue currently is the app losing connection the key lights I have and then telling me there is no network over and over and the I have to do everything in the world to get them reconnected.
