@Razer.Zionzedd When will synapse developers finally fix long known bugs? Or I'll be fine if they fix the one, but more annoying bug in synapse v3, when I start something that has a sound, it starts at 150% volume for 1-2 seconds instead of the preset volume.
After upgrading the Synapse 4, I've had some issue in particular with one of my favorite game Total War Warhammer 3, specifically with my new Tartarus Pro though the same issue occurred with my older Tartarus before I had to replace that after years of use. I have very little changes to the buttons (just remapped the modifies) and the same exact set up I had with Synapse 3 does not work at all in the game. it's been working fine for other games and windows as a whole but the moment I launch the game it no longer works and all the key binds that I had are not functioning. this is the second time I've tried to jump to synapse 4 and reverted back to 3 due to the same issue. really going to be a drag having to revert back again unless I can find some work around that's less work than just uninstalling 4 and reinstalling 3 again. This has really been my only issue with Synapse 4 so far as i don't use any complex lighting/Chroma features but its BIG issue because i exclusively use the Tartarus for gaming and my mapping is the same across all programs I use. unless its fixed or i can find a solution Synapse 4 is getting removed again,
Gosh, remember in Synapse 2 they promised us that our profiles would come over to 3 and that older devices that were not that old would be ported over to 3. Where is my ORBWEAVER SUPPORT? Yeah, well I got 4 and my lighting profiles are all messed up and other issues have arisen that I didn’t have when I was using ver. 3.
So for instance I have a TARTURUS V2 when I press the “A BUTTON” it inputs “AZ” and other buttons do this stuff too. Like “D = DC” this is the same for W and S and a few other buttons. Nothing was fixing it until I went back to Synapse 3.
I’m feel like I have given RAZER enough time and money from their inception until now that maybe it’s time I moved on somewhere with less integration. I’m likeing WOOTING, and other products way more I don’t need all this extra bloat. BLOAT that razer can’t seem to ever get right.

Migrated from Synapse 3 to 4 (most stupid Idea it turns out) and I’m facing the issue with chroma studios that none of the reactive features, like wave or reactive, are working any longer. Only base lighting :)
Yes i done that also,worst mistake i ever made.
I am stuck with profiles that i cannot delete as well as synapse changes it back far too quickly for me to delete the useless profiles (Kraken v4).
Theres no manual way that i know of to completely reset my cloud sync as at thsi point i would rather do that and just start again.
Would be a hassle but more than worth it in the end.

See the thread about Blackshark users (like myself). Spatial audio got broken and it hadn’t been fixed for months. Even after returning to Synapse 3 there are still problems.
I was a Razer fanboy for many years but my hope in Razer is about to be gone. I am sad to say this but the next purchase probably won’t be from them.
The same problem with Blackshark. I'm using Dolby Atmos for headphones instead of THX now.
I remember similar issues when migrating to Synapse 3 when Razer decided Synapse 2 was no longer good enough. I had a bunch of bugs, as well as the annoyance of discovering several peripherals would no longer be supported in Synapse 3. Planned obsolescence, I guess.
I’m wondering if this latest iteration is also going to suddenly have us needing to buy brand new Razer gear.
That aside, this launch of Synapse 4 has been an absolute mess.
I’ve reverted to Synapse 3 and won’t be migrating any time soon. I’m also beginning to replace all my Razer gear with Corsair, just to get rid of the headache.

Yes i am also Sick and tired of all the headaches with Synapse 4.
I purchased the Razer Kraken v4 pro literally every time i launch a full screen game,it hard crashes my pc.
I back tested this to see if it was the headset causing this,it turned out 100% it was.
Without the headset/different headset connected it doesn’t happen so that pointed itself out to synapse/even faulty hardware at that.
I reckon it is synapse related though somehow,buthtere is no way i am plugging the jeadset up to my system and it hard crashing it.
Back to Amazon it goes.
In the end up i went back to steelseries and couldn’t be happier.
Synapse is jus ta buggy mess and next to useless at this point
Is there no way to create multiple profiles for the same game in Synapse? When I try, it won’t let me link a 2nd profile to game that already has one linked to it.
I switched to Razer because I was disappointed with the hardware quality of Logitech mice. Now I’m thinking I’ll have to switch back to Logitech just because of the Razer software being so terrible.
If i leave Synapse 4 for 10 to 15 minutes untouched in my system tray, than it takes a long lime to launch and load up my peripherals. Yeah, after two times of trying on two different systems. I think Razer don't care about any problem customers have. The videos that appear lately, on social media, speaks for itself. That's one of the reasons i am switching gears, after two faulty blackwidow 4 Pro keyboards and a Raptor 165hz monitor with backlight bleeding.
Yea it is ironic that the beta version was the best version and it's gone downhill since.
There are severe problems with macros that use scroll wheel click. Sometimes they record but can't be edited, sometimes you edit and they break, sometimes no matter what you can't select middle mouse button, or you select it finally but it's not working. Even like cloud versions and stuff, where an older version works but cloud version doesn't. I've spent hours and hours trying to figure out why my macros randomly and completely stopped working even when nothing changed and visually everything was setup correctly. Scroll click really needs to be looked at.
I think razer hired some competent people to design Synapse 4, but after the job was done they had their local teams take over and add junk with ChatGPT writing the code. I have no idea how an app can keep getting worse and worse over beta.
incredibly frustrating when you need to perform in a game but your macros are broken and you need to spend 4hrs+ troubleshooting some broke sh** and everybody is waiting on you. I had to delete middle/scroll button entirely because it just didn't work. Also I will need to be testing other mouse brands to compare. Razer is pretty fast in general but the spaghetti code makes me think some of ther other/new mouse companies may have put in more effort overall and maybe have more accuracy. I've seen other players run macros faster than mine but I'm not sure what they are using since they keep it secret. Whatever it is, it's not Razer Synapse😂

GPT is good at finding code breakdowns and bugs, checks logic well, and is generally a good tester. It would be better if they tested it. It feels like synapse 4 was written by students and then no one checked the program for performance. To do this, you just need to connect razer devices and check how synapse 4 works. I think razer should have had some razer devices lying around that could be tested.
