Razer Huntsman Elite local profiles not saving to keyboard

And that is great approach. BUT, I think that would be OK to put some other lightning effects on baord, just simple one, so we can switch that default wave. Like reactive (pick background color, front color, and speed), ripple effect, and so on. And if user want to put software in front of it - no problem. Take for example CoolerMaster MK750: it has on board complex lighning effect AND software to make them. You can use software or not for controlling effect - best solution. So, PLEASE in name of all Razer users: make possible to store lighning effects (made in Chroma studio) on board so we can close Synapse and save couple of CPU/memory usage. Thanks

 

Thanks for not beating around the bush.

I played around with the keyboard some more using alternate ways of driving it (no Synapse) and found out that the hardware still supports a lot of lighting effects. What is even more interesting: I had activated static color (this is what I want to use) and the keyboard seems to persist this setting. It keeps it across boot cycles. I could even unplug the keyboard and when plugged in it would go back to the static color I had set. The setting only gets lost once I start Synapse and upon closing it the keyboard gets reset to chroma cycle.

This made me wondering: Wouldn't it be possible to have at least a very limited way to configure a fallback lighting in Synapse for when Synapse is not running? It seems the hardware is already fully capable of doing this.
I'm thinking about people who use these keyboards outside gaming as well or in the workplace. Essentially there would only need to be two options in the software: chroma cycle or static color (with color selection obviously).

Nonetheless, I'm outa here. I just wanted some nice static color and have figured out I can get that by simply deinstalling Synapse and hacking the keyboard to a color of my liking once and be done with it.

And I am not happy with the level of work required to achieve such a modest goal.

 

The effects are already on the board. What I have seen with my own eyes are wave, chroma cycle, static, starlight, breathing and reactive. Not sure how many more there are.

Its just about adding some way to configure this default/offline mode or whatever you want to call it in Synapse.

 

Typing on this keyboard is so much fun... I just want to keep writing. Despite all the hassle, hats off for the great hardware you guys make.

 

Please can you share solution you found? I think everyone here will be thankful

 

Same issue for me

 

So you're saying there's adequate on-board resources for just a static lighting, if even for a single color. That would be much preferred over the rainbow show. I'm certain a lot of people including myself would be more then happy with that option, and once the keyboard connects to Synapse it can switch to a more complex lighting effect.

Even gdpr.yeah has apparently found a way set a static color that stays until Synapse is launched changes it back. That in it's self says that Synapse already has the ability to write a default effect, why not give us the ability to choose what that effect is.

 

So, at the end, it doesn't metter what ALL users want but what you (company) want. Is that keyboard made for company or for users? I am confused now. Hybrid approach is much better than this new one, and all users think the same. If I can't store on-board lighning effect after paying 150+ EUR for keyboard, I have to switch to other company. Very disappointment.

 

RazerThe_Fiend, i understand what you are saying, but I don't agree. the macro engine would be more useful on the primary PC as that is where all the main applications/games would be. Taking your keyboard to another PC where the macros may may not work is pointless.

 

yeah, I wish razer can make it that we can save lighting into the onboard memory/cloud storage

 

what I meant was, what use would the macros be without the main PC (and software) they were deigned to be used on?

 

Logitech amazing ! I'm no longer buy razer products. I'm programmer and their products is not fit both for mac and wmware fusion.

 

can we have static color at the very least for on board memory? if not there is really no point in getting. I can't install Synapse on my corporate laptop. Can Razer team solve this for us?

 

So how do Corporate users use Blackwidow Elite. They cannot install Synapse 3 and we do not want Spectrum Cycling as the only option. Can we have static color? Is it possible?

 

My Razer Huntsman elite just came in today and I was super disappointed with how misleading their description was when talking about on-board memory. I paid $225 (including shipping) for this keyboard only to find out I can change the lightning effect when I plug it into anything else without synapse 3. I’m so bummed out as this was my only Christmas gift and I waited over almost 3 weeks just for it to come in. Had I simply known it wouldn’t store my lightning profiles on the keyboard I would have bought a different keyboard. I’d still buy a Razer but a different keyboard nonetheless. Now I can’t even return it sadly, so upset, I have to wait till my birthday just to pick a different keyboard
