Macro Performance and Stability Issues in Synapse 4

I have been a Razer user since 2012 and have always used products from the brand. Currently, I still own a Razer DeathAdder Elite, a model released in 2016, which is now considered relatively old hardware.

I have always used the macro function while gaming, mainly to execute specific commands and perform animation cancels. Over the years, I have used different versions of Razer Synapse and noticed a significant difference in the behavior of macros.

In Synapse 2.0 and Synapse 3.0, in my experience, macros were much more stable and consistent. However, with Synapse 4, there are days when it feels like the behavior of the macro changes and it does not perform the same way, showing delays or less precise execution. I have also seen other users reporting that this issue may be related to the operating system or Windows updates. Regardless of the cause, the experience has not been as consistent as it was with previous versions.

Another point is that I find creating and configuring macros in Synapse 4.0 more complicated than it used to be. For users who were already familiar with the older versions, the process feels less intuitive.

I have also seen reports from users who use peripherals and software from other brands, such as Logitech, claiming that they do not experience similar issues with macro stability.

I would like to know if other users are experiencing the same situation. For those who rely on macros that require precise and consistent execution, especially while gaming, this difference in behavior is quite noticeable.
