Synapse 3 Mac OS X Support

Hi everybody:

I use Karabiner Elements to change my keyboard key mapping or Tartarus key mapping. It's free.

And also I use BetterTouchTool to configure different behavior for the Mamba mouse buttons in different applications. Has lot of other features.
https://folivora.ai 9€ plus VAT.

I now want to be able to map and change Macro keys in my Keyboard and the small buttons in my Mamba behind the scroll not to change sensitivity stage and use them for keyboard function.
So for that I had to install Synapse 1.87, update it and to be able to recognized then disconnect the usb cable and connect again. Well, not anymore. Follow reading.

I hope this helps some people.

Have a nice day.

Edit:
Now in order to Synapse be able to discover your devices you need to unplug and plug your devices. This sucks. Thanks Razer.
# Install Razer Razer_Synapse_Mac_Driver_v1.87.dmg
# Do not reboot yet
# Open Terminal
launchctl load /Library/LaunchAgents/com.razerzone.rzdeviceengine.plist
launchctl load /Library/LaunchAgents/com.razer.rzupdater.plist
# Now you see Synapse Icon in Menu bar Open it and Update to version 188.20
# You avoid to reboot twice with this.

# What worked for me.
# Synapse in Offline mode in order to not to interfere with my BetterTouchTool and Karabiner setups.
# Install Xcode command line tools
sudo rm -rf /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools
sudo xcode-select --install
# Install uhubctl
brew tap mvp/uhubctl https://github.com/mvp/uhubctl
brew install uhubctl
uhubctl
# Example from website https://gist.github.com/fcoclavero/431123c7708e42de63eb75264a44de02
uhubctl -l 20-6 -p 3 -a cycle -d 2
Create a shell script named "usb_reset.sh":
before the end of the script I use this command to exit the Synapse 2 app from the menu bar.
launchctl unload /Library/LaunchAgents/com.razer.rzupdater.plist

# To launch the script every time you login with yout User
# Source https://alvinalexander.com/mac-os-x/mac-osx-startup-crontab-launchd-jobs/
# Create a com.user.programtest.plist
cp com.user.usb_reset.plist ~/Library/LaunchAgents/

Will be returning my black widow lite and buying a Corsair, with a higher budget just out of spite. $100 out of their pockets and $200 in a competitor's for showing such a braindead lack of support.

Anyone still inside the return window?...iCue for Mac & Windows! Razer, wouldn't it be nice if your customers didn't have to install a VM on whatever OS they choose to work on for their inputs to work as intended? Honestly charge more and hire some coders.

Another option other than Logi, thank you Corsair. I'm going with the K100, sorry Razer It's just too annoying.

A Github User made it work, it helped me with the Basilisk Pro V3!

Thank you soooooo muchfor this! I can finally see the battery level and change the light pattern. This + Mac mouse fix app make the mouse useful 

REALLY?

No Mac support? WTF?

Just bought a tartarus v2 keypad I can't use... didn't even consider keyboards not being compatible with Mac before I bought it...

Yeah I gave up on Razer. I have the new ProBook with the M1 chip and I was using the Tartarus for productivity work in 3D softwares on my PC but I have now switched to ZSA Moonlander keyboard on both machines. Way more expensive but super happy with them

Fingers crossed they will bring us back in the loop someday. I can't imagine its a hard task to make a MacOS driver, i'm so confused as to why they wouldn't roll out with this stuff with every update?!

Disclaimer: Im swedish which will mean my language might convey possibly words that might sound abit wonky.

So some time ago, about hmm 3months + i bought i razer basilisk v3 pro for my mac. I play via geforce now on my mac so figured ill get myself a sick setup. The mouse cost 3000sek+ at the time (300+ dollars). At them moment i use my logitech pro from about 10 years ago instead which works just perfectly. And my razer if ever used works more in line with at 20 dollar mouse… or less.  All becasue of synapse v3.. WHICH BTW was not, NOT imparted to me at time of purchase that it was mandatory to be able to use the mouse. 

 

I seldom have the energy to even complain about these things but saw more ppl had problems with this and wanted to share my experience. 

 

This is for me bordering in fraud/extreme greed/ or some term i cant express in english (therefore might come across too harsh of wording)

300 bucks is alot of money for a mouseshaped decoration with some lit razerlogo. 

 

Anyway, just my few cents.  Cheers from sweden. 

Throwing my hat in the ring. Please support the Mac moving forward. Many of us have a Mac in addition to a gaming PC that we would love to use the same mouse for. 

I have owned around 5 Razer mice, 4 Razer keyboards over the years and several Razer headsets. I am one day out of my mouse return date and just got my new Blackwidow TKL. I use both PC and Mac computers. Now I find out that Razer has f’d over Mac users. Last Razer products I will ever own. 

hola a todos, soy nuevo en esto del gaming, el dia de ayer compre un tartarus chorma con la ilucion de poder tener un teclado personalizado con el software de diseño, para el uso de photoshop, me voy enterando que el soporte para Mac os big sur no es el adecuado, espero pronto se resuelva esto.
