Why is Razer Synapse still sucks

Why is Razer Synapse 3 simply a cheap beta version?

I had to uninstall the nonsense three times today alone. I've long felt like I purchased the cheapest Chinese products, but no, this cheap stuff simply costs too much unnecessarily.

The update, of course, did nothing.

Believe me one thing: I will post so many negative reviews that everyone else is spared this negative experience. Your products are a bad joke.

Even my cheap Chinese mouse from Deluxe has better software that actually works.

This junk hardware will now be returned step by step - I simply can't bear it anymore.

The basics are simply missing!

 

 

Or can you explain to me why the Kraken V2 Pro, priced at 200 €, loses contact with your trash driver twice within an hour?

 

For the prices you're asking, I expect plug and play, not "doesn't work."

 

Yeelight: does not work

Battletron: does not work

Nanoleaf: a bad joke and does not work

Razer Synapse: a bad joke... and does not work

Deathstalker V2: the worst investment on my part... does anything work there at all?

Razer Kraken V2: even worse joke, nothing works there!

 

Not even the mouse wheel works on your scam hardware.

 

Or where has it disappeared to again?

I would like to know too. Their software was lousy 10 years ago and it still hasn’t improved. We get sucked in by their hardware — it’s easy to obtain and it looks good — but using it with their software is an exercise in frustration for many of us. 

I got a new gaming PC last week and added a new BlackWidow V4 keyboard and a new Basilisk mouse. I was getting blue screen crashes and, every time I locked the PC (Windows), the keyboard would not work until I had got back into Windows (by using the mouse to activate the on-screen keyboard). When I did get back into Windows, the first time that any text input had focus, the “d” was repeating, stopping only when I pressed a key. 
 

I tried the keyboard on one of my other setups (where I don’t have their software) and it was fine. I then uninstalled Synapse on my new PC and all the problems disappeared. No blue screen crashes anymore. The keyboard remains responsive after locking. It’s definitely Synapse that is the problem. It’s not worth running it, for me. The default lighting configuration will have to do. 
 

I will look very hard at alternative products when I need to replace any Razer product. I like the look and feel of their keyboards especially and they seem durable. My oldest Razer BlackWidow is more than 10 years old and is still hammered every day — I am a software developer and have used it for work every day over that time.
 

Their lousy software just kills it for me, unless you can be happy with the default (out of the box) behaviour or are happy to run third party software to configure it.

Their software is a joke, Cant even play any game without my keyboard disconnecting every few minutes
