Synapse 3 for Mac

I just ordered a Logitec G600, to give it a try. I have 2 Razer Chromas, and 1 Razer Trinity, on my 3 Macs. I am sick and tired of Razer's total lack of regard for Mac products. When I complained about Synapse 3 not being available for Mac (Synapse 2 sucks), I was told flat out that they have no plans to make it for Mac.

I have just purchased a Razer Deathadder Essential and am very disappointed to find out that neither Synapse 2 or Synapse 3 can be used with this product on a mac computer. I understand that being in Beta there can be issues while the software is being improved, but not having any apple software at all for this product without any warning when purchasing seems rather unprofessional and very inconvenient for me the buyer. I hope a beta version of synapse 3 for mac is available soon so I don't have to return this product as I am usually a big fan of Razer products.

请支持mac os
please support mac os

It’s like they don’t watch any posts that have the word Mac in it.

I bought the Razer huntsman elite and it really is a fantastic keyboard but I am not sure that I am going to keep it as I use both a mac and a windows computer. Currently, my setup caters more toward me using my mac and for me to lose so much functionality in the form of not being able to use the main software required for this hardware to be worth the value. As synapse 2 is available for Mac I don't see why support has not been given to the newest edition of this software. This wouldn't even be AS annoying if there was a way to use the profile information that is saved to the keyboard when it is connected to my Mac but that is also not the case. Not only does this not work with the custom chroma settings but it also is the basic light settings. As far as I know, I can't even cycle through any of these presets without this software. Is there seriously NO way to make a version of synapse for mac that even has limited functionality? Just something to make this keyboard feel like it was worth the $200 price tag instead of a $40 Amazon board which allows you to cycle through the light presets just because it's plugged in. Come on Razer... Great hardware but just confusing implementation.

PLEASE support macOS even it only has fundamental features, like control light and custom the buttons on mouse.

My Mamba + Firefly + Deathstalker 'work' but every so often the mouse freezes and requires me to pick it up and blow on it set it down and move it across the pad furiously to restore function. Its REALLY annoying. The opposite of the investments purpose. Disappointed.

I am glad to know that it was them not me. :frown_:

Selling all Razer gear and moving on... Seriously - I have this overpriced crap that freezes - stops and starts and all because 64BIT is hard for Razer? - its always been overpriced glitz with crap function and so all going out the door.

Amazon sells keyboards, mice and pads with perty lights for 25% the cost of a razer that work in OSX HS / Mojave.

In addition, the site performance here in the forums is awful. I searched for something and then started typing this response. It just kicked back a search error 6 minutes later.

I was going to post more here but whats the point really - Macs are not typically gaming machines and Razer cant see the end of their noses over their glasses. Thats their choice.

Au revoir...

Disappointed

yea its a drag - but like I said above - Macs are not Gaming focused and so Razer is not giving them many resources. They will get to it when they get to it - but I have reached out to Apple for comment since these products have the Mac Moniker on them, indicating that they support Mac OS.

Every one of my boxes has the moniker on it. Mouse Keyboard Matte/Pad. They charge a premium for these devices and claim on the box that they support Mac OSX.

Agreed. It looks like they are having enough trouble with the PC version of Synapse 3 actually - Personally I never liked the overlay - Its always been sort of poorly written and I would imagine trying to get their utilities authorized by Apple is a little more tedious than MS Windows.

But I do think the MACOS Moniker should be removed from the box and the existing products should have a HUGE ' DOES NOT WORK WITH OSX 64 BIT ' sticker slapped on them.

I would not consider Razer system. Period. They always look really cool, but given the support they display for their existing customers with 69$ mice, and 100$ keyboards, I would not want the aggravation of owning a 2700$ paper weight because they refused to update a driver at some point. I mean - screw me once on 250$ worth of Periph's and then expect me to make a major investment with you in hardware? Yea, No.

I am frustrated hourly with this solution but have been too busy to replace them until now. Constantly picking up my mouse and blowing into the bottom and then running over the Razer pad furiously until the cursor reappears is just not something I can continue to deal with hourly.

I bought a 25$ HCMAN lighted keyboard and whiles its not near as in depth and (that I know of yet) has no Utility that runs in memory for fancy controls - its has basic light functions, works PERFECTLY with my mac - I tested EVERYTHING - Recovery combos, the works and all for 25$ price recently went up on Amazon to $32 US but Its packaging is top notch, very premium feel. Its loud click action may not be everyone.

Throwing in my vote here, too. It's time for Mac users to get software that unlocks all the hardware's promises.

Incredibly frustrated. Come on Razer. I know it's still in beta, but put some effort into Mac support, or I'll have to take my business elsewhere..
