Razer Synapse Causing Stuttering - Can I Change Onboard Profiles Without It?

Hello everyone,

I recently bought a Razer Deathstalker V2 Pro keyboard and installed Synapse, but I'm running into a frustrating issue: Synapse seems to be causing my PC to stutter. My computer is definitely not weak, so I don't think that's the problem.

My main question is: can I switch to my custom-saved color profiles (the ones stored in the keyboard's onboard memory) without Synapse running? I know I can change the default Chroma profiles using "Fn + Ctrl + Number", but I really want to switch to the specific color + power profiles I've created and saved to the keyboard's memory.

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!

I am facing the same exact issue. I think it is NOT possible to use the color profiles without synapse. I tested it by adding new profiles within synapse. I then closed synapse and switched profiles by using the shortcuts. The color of each profile blinks, so I know the profile itself is recognized, but the rgb setting will not load.

 

I don't really understand what in the world the programmers at Razer are doing the whole day, but I think it is CRAZY that this is simply not working. There are many posts about this in this exact forum and on reddit and nobody seems to care.

I had the G915 by Logitech, with that keyboard it worked out of the box but the keyboard is not working on the ps5....

For me this is a dealbreaker right now, because I can't install synapse on my work laptop or on my PS5.... Why would you allow saving profiles when it is not working.... Very disappointing. And more disappoint is the lack of response by Razer, there doesn't seem to be any official statement to that.
