Perhaps we should start buying Corsair Products. Their iCUE software is working fine on MAC.
Maybe thet helps Razer to do something about their Software.

same with me - really wanted to customize my new Deathadder v2 but no way to do it... may have to send it back ...
C
guess which companies products i will never be buying again.

can't believe this garbage still doesn't work on mac
P
I just bought the Ornata V2 and cant customize it in any way.
Simply because Razer one of the biggest gaming brands in the world haven't bothered to make a version of Synapse 3 that works with mac.

Hi all.
This post is to bring the attention of Razer's dev team and Razer's business strategic team to the need to update synapse at Version 3. I'm trying the new Mamba Elite and it's... absolute fantastic, better my old Mamba. I've tried it on my PC and on my Mac and Synapse 3 is necessary on both.
So, please, don't forget Mac community and make an update for Synapse: it's OK also a "light" version of drivers, without Chroma Lab, only for edit bottons on mouse and keyboard, macro and Chroma effects.

Just chiming in to say that my Razer keyboard has become pretty useless. I had no idea that the support was dropping for Mac, and find this absolutely unacceptable. These keyboards are very expensive to begin with and then you advertise that they will work on Windows and Mac, so one would expect you to keep support even if code at Apple changes (you hire engineers for this sort of thing to keep up to date with it). I bought my keyboard last year, and for it to fail after 1 year because of dropped support means that this product essentially is a lemon. If the lifespan of Razer products is under a year, count me out of any future purchases. The answer shouldn't be get a Windows PC, that's essentially switching the financial burden on the consumer to solve their own problem rather than the supplier where the problem originated from! Take care of your customers Razer!

Razer please add support for macOS to Synapse! Long time Razer fan here. I would hate to have to switch to another company for peripherals!

I ended up moving to corsair so I can switch between my razer laptop and mac for gaming. I now have a corsair keyboard and mouse and they work beautifully with mac as well as PC. Welp. They lost me for now.

I gave them about a year and a half of waiting and gave up waiting after hearing crickets. No love.

I have a huntsman elite keyboard and LanceHead mouse. I’ve been using it at work windows PC but i want to use it with my Mac at home now, still waiting for the Synapse 3 on Mac.

One more request!
We need Razer's working software on Mac!

It can't be all that difficult.

Guys, I just got off the online chat with Elaiza from support. It's confirmed. Synapse 3 was released in 2017. It is 2020, middle of the year. Razer has NO intention to support ANY other OS (Linux, macOS) than Windows. That is the reason why you don't hear any peep from their folks on this thread.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but that is the truth. Time to move on.
Returning $300 worth of Razer equipment. Keyboard and mouse.
Peace!

Just picked up the Huntsman Elite...PC is being built, and wont arrive for another month due to COVID. Installed software on my Macbook Pro... Dead in the water on changing the lights. Very disappointing guys. Please release some Mac support for synapse 3. I can't believe this hasn't happened yet.

Came here to look for a way to get the backlight customization to work on my newly-bought BlackWidow keyboard on macOS just to find that people have been discussing the impossibility of this for more than three years... ouch... not going to lie, this must be it what it feels like falling for a scam.

I use Bootcamp to run Windows 10 on my Mac. Ignoring the fact that Synapse 3 is a major improvement that the Mac version desperately needs, switching between the two seems to have introduced new glitches I've never seen before. After I first used Synapse 3 on Windows, my keyboard stopped automatically connecting to Synapse 2 on macOS, which means I have to unplug it and wait for my Profiles to load every time I reboot or log in.

After the most recent Mac update, I got the "Synapse will not be supported soon" notification. I can deal with these inconveniences now, but Razer is losing me as a customer if there isn't a Synapse by the time Apple releases the 10.16 update. Not being able to load the keybinds and color layouts I've used for years is a dealbreaker.

Hi everyone!

I create this project to set color effects natively on macOS Catalina:

https://github.com/1kc/razer-macos

Please check it out and see if it helps you.
Keyboards are working very well at the moment, while mice and mouse mats are still in the testing phase.
Would be good if you guys let me know how well it works.

when will razer synapse 3 come out for mac? Because I've been waiting for a while.

Thank you very much for sharing, looking forward to more updates! Works like a charm for me with the Blackwidow! Would be awesome if you could somehow figure out a way to make the Chroma features fully customisable without using presets, nevertheless this is great!

It is worth mentioning you can get some basic lighting functionality with this open source project: https://github.com/1kc/razer-macos

This requires software effects and the app running in the background. AngelusGalenia actually implemented this yesterday with customised colour cycling in our latest version.

This is great! However, unfortunately my Mac will not open it because of the "malware" however I will get around this. Thank you for this project!

Edit: Will there be support for the Mamba Elite at some point?

The way to get around the security warning is to open your Applications folder and right click the Razer macOS.app and select Open. You may need to do this twice, the second time an option "Open" will popup and then you're good after that.

Would it be possible to add support for the 'Chroma Base Station' as well? Thank you so much!

So you're telling me I paid a couple of hundred dollars for a keyboard (Huntsman elite) for no support of software on macos? are you kidding me? I'm a software engineer and I love the feel of the switches , but I use many machines and the daily driver is a macbook pro ... this is just absurd!

Voicing support for this even though the FAQ basically states they never intend to support macOS again.
