Whenever the headset is plugged in to the system with Synapse open, it'll consume as much CPU power as the system will let it at all times, driving CPU usage to almost 100% no matter what. This, of course, lowers the life of the CPU and makes the computer unusable at times.

This forum post has contained discussion about this issue for MONTHS:
/windows-driver-foundation-100-cpu-usage-when-using-razer-synapse-2-0.45203/
None of the potential fixes or workaround mentioned help, except closing Synapse, but as I have an Orbweaver and it doesn't have support for Synapse 3 yet (really?), I cannot do that. Also persists on reinstalls of Windows and all reinstalls of Synapse.
Is there an eventual fix to this shit or do I have to throw this headset to the trash? I'd prefer not having wasted 60€ in something unusable.
