Great hardware, but awful software

I’ve been using Razer gear for a while now, and credit where it’s due—the hardware is top-notch. The build quality, ergonomics, and physical performance of the devices are incredible, and it’s the main reason I keep coming back to the brand.

That said, the software experience is completely dragging the hardware down.

Lately, it feels like all the development energy is being poured into pushing trendy AI features that nobody actually asked for, while basic, everyday software stability is left in the dust. We don't need bloatware or AI gimmicks. We need Razer Synapse to actually work consistently without crashing, not detecting devices, and not just stop working.

I mean can you guys make a Synapse-Lite or something. Please shift the focus back to the fundamentals: stability, speed, and reliability. Great hardware deserves software that just works quietly and reliably in the background. Pretty sure it doesn’t costs that much, even an Ai model can do it. Pretty sure its viable.
