I just recently purchased the razer homerun bundle and ever since I plugged all of the products into my mac, I had to use this https://github.com/1kc/razer-macos. I mean its pretty good and all but I've see what Razer Synapse 3 can do. It makes the github download look like trash. heck, its 2022. Razer, I bet you've hear this millions of times but I'll just say it again, please, and I mean PLEASE make razer synapse 3 compatible with mac. Just look at this thread it overlook all the people that need this.

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

It does a pretty decent job with colors, but fire, ripple, and overlapping effects are nonexistent in this github download.

I just received my Viper Ultimate and can barely use it on my Mac running OS 12.4. The least they could have done is mentioned this in the product specs/requirements. I wouldn't have bothered. I guess it's time to return it?

It would be great if we could get some traction on adding support Mac OS X for Synapse 3. I just purchased my Blackwidow Elite and would like to use it for work too which is Mac. I am disappointed there isn't cross platform support, will there ever be cross platform support or should return my keyboard for another?

Are newer devices also compatible with Synapse 2?

Yeah, used to have a mac before I got a pc using synapse was a hell hole to put it lightly.
The interface is all weird when its on mac.

Hi there,

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...

There is a solution
Connect the mouse to a windows computer with Synapse 3 installed.
Then install hotkeys as you want.
It will work when connecting back to macos

Sad story, sold my Basilisk Ultimate, bought SteelSeries, returned it, bought Logitech, have it unboxed on my desk, bought OrochiV2. I'm in love with it on both MacOS and Windows. Parallels could not handle the Synapse v3 in order for me to configure the DPI switch to a random key, did this on my Windows laptop, yet I don't feel confident because on WinOS it fails to pair using the Bluetooth so that I could check if any configuration is being possible via Synapse v3 in BT mode. On the other hand, the usual problems on MacOS without Synapse - Back/Forward keys are not being recognised in World of Warcraft for example as keys, at all. There's no complete happiness.

Hi Razer Team...
sorry don't want to wake you... this discussion is been going on for years. Not that you found a solution for it, but you don't even take a stand to the topic. Isn't it sad to read brands like Logitech, Steel Series or Corsair in this thread? Yes? No? Or do you just don't give a shit? Well I wish you very much success with more pink Kraken Kittys, apparel collections and things that really matter.

Up To Date, current RAZER peripheral primary focus is towards "gaming".

Apple needs to level up the playing field.

How can you ignore so many opinions and complaints?

I bought razer products because the razer described that you support configuration software (synapse 2) for MacOS. But you just notice  last year that you don’t support it anymore. You didn't give a convincing reason, you stopped without asking the consumer for understanding, or making future promises.

 

Are you deceiving the consumer?
This is a case that can be sued as a group for false advertising or non-compliance with promises.

Synapse doesn’t work well at all on Windows machines.  You want it to be broken on 2 operating systems?  Just saying… 🤷

Having upgraded to Sonoma and messed with the M1 chip. It’s kinda silly that Razer isn’t making a Synapse 3 for Mac. It’s actually a very powerful machine. And Mac hasn’t done this in nearly 20 years so, Razer’s missing out.

In the meantime folks, until Razer exec’s realise that Mac owners actually have money to spend you can use this for device support on a Mac. This was linked earlier in this thread, this the download.

Sorry about the camera’s folks, the closest thing I can find is Xsplit vCam for Mac which appears to support it but not sure if that is device specific support.
