Synapse 3 Mac OS X Support
Are newer devices also compatible with Synapse 2?
I can't have my Razer Naga Pro fully working on Mac OS Monterey because Synapse 3 has no support for Mac.
Fortunately I can use BT connection and use it as a standard mouse, however I can't set hotkeys, which is the main reason for me to have a mouse such like that.
I am very disappointed that a product such as this one come with no compatibility for Mac users. I should have stick to the Logitech G604 which had all these functions properly working...
FWIW, I bought some new hardware, and can confirm SteelSeries mice and its iCue config software works great under Ventura.
If Razer gets their act together regarding Mac, I'll come back to the brand. But I'm not holding my breath.
I’m a software engineer switching to the ridiculously superior macbook pro. It’s a shame you have to choose between a good laptop - windows ones are useless without a power source - or good peripherals
i love razer,i also have a lots of davices of razer for my pc,but i love my macbook too! so i wanna they work well on mac please!

SteerMouse fixes the button issue quite well on osx (read the faq if something is not detected). After installation it sits on the bottom of System Settings. it took me a long time to find this software, too long to be deprived on a mac of a power tool I had used daily on PC. and I’m not even a gamer, I feel crippled without many keyboard shortcuts and macros.I cannot even use any other mouse than a Razer Naga anymore, on mac I switched to the touchpad and ended up with a nerve pain in my forearm ;P If a likely single one programmer can make a software that lets us program the buttons, why would it be not possible for Razer? At least release a tool, separate from Synapse, that would let osx users configure the buttons. Who cares about RGB anyway? it’s the buttons that make this mouse powerful.

I saw something about a workaround by turning off apple's new security feature temporarily in order to use synapse on MAC, I will try that for now.
Did this work? Cause Synapse 2 doesn’t support the Naga Pro, only way I found is to configure the Mouse in windows and get back to Mac...
I made do with the buggy experience until now, but since the upgrade to Big Sur synapse doesn't even detect that devices are connected. I sometimes get the overlay randomly appearing with the name of a profile I had registered, but they don't take effect nor can they be changed since the software no long detects devices at all.
Would love an update with at least a time line on this project. Are there any resources being directed to this at all? Its been years of "maybe sort of working" on fixing the mac side, and now things are completely broken.
From my experience there will never be a solution cause Mac is a niche and doesn't bring money.

Maybe this is more about Razer using Synapse 3 to do something that Apple isn't cool with.
I'd imagine that they'd make it loud & clear if Apple was screwing them around. :wink_:
Razer what is going on? I love your products and just recently got a Basilisk V3 and now find that I can't configure it the way I want because I'm a Mac user.
Unfortunately it doesn't work via Parallels over Windows for ARM either. Then give us the opportunity to offer a good macOS software.
We all support you as a company and buy your products.

Someone found this. The thread was locked so I am reposting it here. Confirmed it is working. A little clunky but I am sure you guys can figure it out. No button assignment, but colors, battery level and detection worked for my Naga Pro on Mac 10.14.6 Mojave https://github.com/1kc/razer-macos
I was pretty annoyed as well that I could not control the colors and such on my Blackwidow Elite on my Mac because Synapse 3 for Mac does not exist and Synapse 2 does not have support for their device. Its been years and the lack of support is extremely annoying.
This software does work though, I can confirm, I just set it up on my MBP running OS X 11.5.2, was able to set the color and such no problem. Thank you for the link
Returning the product immediately. Never going to buy Razer for myself (Mac user) or my husband (PC user) again.
Come on, Razer, give us Mac users some options!
Just in case somebody actually reading this thread. Few days ago I bought RAZER KIYO PRO as highly recommended webcam. Today, when I connected it to my MacBook Pro, first thing I tried to search for software and in result found this forum. I searched more and it looks like as of today there is no software available for KIYO PRO on MacOS. Camera works, but I have no option to enabled HDR or change any settings.
Outcome: Returning it back.
P.S. Maybe SYNAPSE is not needed for webcam? Maybe it is a better way and you don't need to put all your hardware setup in one app?
I will NEVER buy anything from you again, it‘s a joke how you treat your customers. Heck, I will make sure that nobody I know will also buy anything from you ever again.
