I have just switched from a Logitech KB/M to a Razer Huntsman TE & Viper Ultimate and I am disappointed to discover that, unlike the Logitech kit, lighting cannot be saved to the memory on the device.
I can appreciate that some of the advanced effects will not work without the Synapse software, but surely the more basic effects can be stored on the device. Synapse makes is sound like it should be possible, "Quick effects are pre-sets that can be saved to a device's profile and synced with other supported Razer Chroma-enabled devices". But it would seem that saving to a device's profile is not the same as storing profiles direct on a device. o_O
At the very least it should be possible to configure which of the keyboard's built-in effects it should revert to as a default. When you first power up your PC and when you quit Synapse it switches the keyboard to colour cycling mode (built-in effect 4). I would prefer to use a static single colour (built-in effect 2) or even no lighting at all. Not everyone wants a disco light show. I have discovered I can manually switch between these built-in modes using key combinations, but that will get tedious fast.
Hopefully Razer can fix this in a software/firmware update as the hardware itself is decent.
