Razer Synapse Mac - can it create contextual shortcuts to mouse buttons?

Hi all,

Thinking of ordering a Razer Basilisk and using it with Mac using the new Beta Synapse software. I have a question about using the Razer Synapse software - prior to ordering the mouse ...


I know with Logitech with the MX Master 3S i can set shortcuts that are contextual depending on app. So for example an auxiliary mouse button in Obsidian can do "Ctrl+E" when that program is open, but in say Word, it can pull a different shortcut. Or it firefox, a pair of buttons can switch tabs left and right, but in chrome, it can zoom in and out.

Can I please ask if anyone know, if Razer synapse allows you to do that?

I downloaded the software but it won't allow me to do that without a Razer mouse plugged in ...


Thanks if anyone can advise! 😄

    Interesting question.  I know that Synapse will open profiles when applications are launched, but I don’t know if it will swap between profiles after applications have been launched when you switch between them.  I hope you get an answer because I’d like to know as well.
