Synapse's built-in mouse scrolling profiles' scroll tension seems low compared to Custom profile

Hello! I’ve been having a heck of a time tracking down issues I’m having with my RZ01-0440.

 

EDIT: Goldarn it, the instant after I clicked Post, now no scrolling profile seems to apply correct, not even Custom. I can’t feel scroll steps hardly at all. This is horrible.

 

Background:

  • Mouse model: RZ01-0440
  • Mouse firmware version: 1.2.1.0
  • Synapse version: 3.9.331.32712
  • Central version: 7.15.0.675
  • OS: Windows 11 Business 23H2
  • I have several Synapse mouse profiles: Default, Shooter, etc.
  • With Default, I set the Adaptive scrolling profile as the only one for that profile. I also use the Browser Detection to detect Firefox.
  • With Shooter, I set the Distinct scrolling profile as the only one for that profile. It detects my shooter games (Halo, etc.)

Problem:

  • I’m finding that my scrolling profiles work (as in, get applied correctly) for maybe a week, and then they stop getting applied. Well, sort of. I can feel the change in clicks per revolution between Adaptive/Ultrafine/Distinct, but the tension and tension curves stop feeling right. It’s almost like all scrolling profiles are set to the same low scroll tension?
  • And when I try my best to use Custom to sort of re-create, for instance, Distinct, Custom feels VERY different, it feels as expected, if that makes sense.
  • I mean, look at these screenshots below. Custom feels VERY different, MUCH more distinct than Distinct does. With Distinct, I hardly feel any sort of bump.
  • There’s something going on. I’ve started only using Custom for my scroll profiles because the defaults don’t feel like they’re working in terms of all the haptic parameters getting applied to the mouse when each profile activates.

 

Steps taken thus far:

I’ve completely uninstalled/reinstalled Razer software using steps provided during previous support tickets.

I have done this several times this past year.

The result is the same: scrolling profiles feel like they apply okay, until they don’t! They just stop and I don’t like it, and I’m tired of spending an hour every month or few weeks or whatever it is reinstalling everything.

I experimented today. I was using the mouse directly connected with its USB cable, wireless is turned off. The scroll wheel haptics were as weak as they’ve ever been.

I unplugged the mouse, waited for the light on the bottom to turn off, then plugged it back in. The scroll wheel haptics were a little better, but not the best.

I unplugged the mouse again, waited for the light on the bottom to turn off again, then plugged it back in again. The scroll wheel haptics are even stronger now, but still not there.

I repeated the unplug/replug process. I think finally the scroll wheel haptics are at 100% strength again.

 

Except 5 minutes later, the scroll wheel haptics have started to fade. Vigorously scrolling back and forth with the scroll wheel brings the haptics strength back.

 

I will experiment again tomorrow if the weak haptics return after I get home from work.

Today: Started up computer, mouse scroll wheel haptics were weak. Unplugged then replugged, haptics stronger. Repeated, stronger still.

 

Is this Synapse at this point, or is it my mouse?
