Razer Synapse 4 delays and double activations with remapped buttons

Hello,

I got tired of trying to figure out stuff on my own, since everywhere I look seems to say the same things about the horrible synapse software. I tried the 4 but had profile syncing issues right out of the box (brand new peripherals and installation), went back to synapse 3 since everyone said to do so (macros where disappearing left and right, I had to export the profile and re-import every time it did...), and now I’m back on the 4 which seems to have fixed the syncing issues, but now adding other issues...

I need answers to my issues.

  1. When remapping Function keys to my Naga’s side buttons. Not macros, only the basic function you could ask from this software… I have noticed that it will work for a while, but the more you use them the more delays it will create between the button press and the actual action in game. It was particularly evident when using a cursor movement macro. The macro would start and move the cursor very fast until the movement slowed down to a slug (even though the delays were supposed to be “fixed” to a set time).
  2. With a simple remapping of a function key to my Naga buttons. The button seem to sometimes not fire off (probably caused by the before mentioned delay issue) and/or cause massive double to quadruple activation at the same time.

    For example, I am playing Diablo 2 Resurrected on a sorceress, I am teleporting in a direction when suddenly I notice a champion and turn over to cast my attack spells, but the teleport cast is still active due to the double activation (spam issue) of the synapse software and makes me teleport back into the pack of monsters instead of casting my attack spells. This issue can even make me cast up to  4 times in a row with a single button press.

    Login out of synapse and/or closing the program to use the onboard memory doesn’t seems to help either.

For a game like D2R, these issues makes life incredibly difficult and causing a lot of unnecessary deaths.

Using the function keys on the keyboard itself do not cause any of these issues.

 

I wish my new peripherals weren’t held hostage by such a poorly designed software that is still, to my eyes, in alpha version.
