Orbweaver Replacement

What do you mean by "4 binds on the thumbstick with them being locked to up, down, left, right"? - That you can only have those 4 directional "actions" mapped to them? - That is simply not true, you can map anything to them, which is a critical feature to me. I don't know what GAMES see those as, but I just map keys and macros to them, which is no problem at all. I do agree that it's stupid that you can't map anything other than scroll-wheel functionality to the scroll wheel. - Well, it LETS you map other keys to it, but unlike the original Belkin SpeedPads they don't register when used with the Tartarus for some reason. - So the software basically contradicts itself as well. I don't feel like there's much of a loss with one less key, though, as you could still map a key under the wheel-click. Which isn't ás convenient as a regular key, but it still works if you really need another function there. I already did it that way with the n52. Speaking of which, that thing has FIVE less ke

Another Tartarus broken microswitches in the D-pad thread

How hard are you pressing them?... I don't have this problem after a year. Not saying that it can't vary, just saying. And what is in the Nostromos definitely isn't the same kind of switch anyway, so that's not a good comparison.

Orbweaver Replacement

DeepCerisePERIDOTbiz287I am not sure if there will be another interation into and for the orbweaver and I have heard that the Tartarus Pro is horrendous but I have he Tartarus V2 and it works great and better than the first, try it out?! Could you expand upon why they say the "Pro" is horrendous? I've used it throughout this year and that's after coming from the Belkin n52 since 2005 (that got used up), but other than a few annoyances in terms of programming and a weird bug or glitch, there has been nothing that makes it "horrendous". Yea, I will say that the analog aspect doesn't exactly work in practice, which is a bit of a contradiction to what the "Pro" was marketed with. As well as a disappointment to me personally as it's something I kinda wished the SpeedPad would have in my years using that one. And the one bug/glitch I referred to could be potentially devastating at times. But let's just say that if you don't play competitively or even professionally, this doesn't exactly b

Analog keyboards - Secondary Function improvement request

Not to hijack the thread, but the issue I have with this is that the actuation-points indicated in the software are a lie, and that it's actually way more shallow. - I've tried using a primary and secondary function, but then it would be like a shallow 1mm or less for the primary and the secondary would already actuate right beyond that, even though Synapse might say 2.6 and 3.6 respectively (and it doesn't even allow for lower than 1.5mm in the setting, but it's actually extremely immediate). Don't you have this issue in the first place?... The whole "analog" feature is pointless in my case, cause it doesn't even utilize the entire travel-range of the keys and only the first 2mm or something. It makes it nice and responsive, but it makes the one unique feature it was marketed with a lie.

Analog keyboards - Secondary Function improvement request

y0LAsAre you sure you're in an analog profile? Cause it's perfectly analog with me. Though in the digital profile you can have two functions depending on how far you press the key. You should contact support it's not a software issue but more of a user experience issue. Or read the manual, watch videos. BTW analog means you map an analog gamepad function, like analog triggers or stick. Well, I don't know if there's such a thing as an analog/digital PROFILE, but mapping the keys to an analog function, yea, I know. - For example, mapping a key to "Left Stick Up", right?... I'm not saying it doesn't work, I'm saying that it doesn't correspond with the depth or travel-distance it claims in the software. - I can even see it in the little "graph", which shows how much you depress the key or actuate the function anyway. - That graph even starts at 1.5mm for the actuation, but it already shows activity from like 0.1mm, pretty much immediately upon depressing it. And when you're at the end o

Razer Kraken Ultimate 7.1 Sound Quality

Your best bet for audio is going with a set of stereo hi-fi phones from a reputable brand (by which I mean something like Sennheiser and the like) and do away with anything "gaming", "headset", "USB", "digital", "wireless", and all that kind of stuff. - You need stereo headphones for stereo hearing and a good DAC and /or headphone-amplifier. - Then, indeed, setting the equalizer right is key, with ANY set of headphones, but that requires a lot of trial and error over a span of many hours with a well-trained ear. Still, tinkering with it can always help and if you're not going for accuracy or "flatness", you can of course tune to preference. Oh, and don't use any "effect"-stuff like that "spatial" thing and such either. Games and their engines are designed to sound the way they sound and you shouldn't do anything to change that. Any claims of "improvement" with any algorithms and effects is just a gimmick. (There can be exceptions, but those will be few and far between.) But, again, as

Why is Synapse so broken?

"Funny" thing is, if there still was only, say, the Nostromo SpeedPad software by Belkin (which was the predecessor to the Tartarus keypads), it might still just work since that software was so rudimentary and not trying to be all fancy like Razer's stuff. Now, I haven't had many issues with Synapse other than say account-login stuff, but it feels so sluggish and bloated for no reason. - All it should do is control features of peripherals, quickly and efficiently, and be flexible at it. That said, I moved to Linux and my Tartarus is now a paperweight because there's zero support for it and it's completely dependent on Synapse. - I don't mind that in general, I would just use it... if I COULD. But I don't even think there's an option to, say, program it on a different computer with Windows, and then have the profiles on the device or something. - But nope, none of that flexibility even.

Razer Synapse 3 - no server

It should get support for local profiles, to export and backup, as well as move to other system and so on. Cloud-based should be optional, period.

Synapse 3.0 MacOS

There was MacOS-support for version 2, yet they only seem to have built it for Windows 10 and 11 (basically just the last Windows), which is baffling to me cause that's regression. - And it's not like it works perfectly for Windows anyway, cause it has plenty of issues. I don't know why, because this company is loaded. Also: Linux?... Your device is now a paperweight. (I have two Razer paperweights now.) They should make their base software as light and flexible as possible, and then make sure it works for about anything, with lots of options, including offline. - Making something more flexible and "open" will create a lot more support and good will on top of that, because people will WANT to use it.

Request for a new feature in Hypershift - Lighting up individual buttons with macros

I would like the same principle in terms of labeling the programming/mapping Synapse itself, much like it was done in the Nostromo-software. - I don't understand why that's an oversight, because if you want to know what everything does for each game, as a reminder, you need to check each key's mapping and then also trace back what each of those do in their respective games. - I would say that before this idea, even though I like the idea. - But considering they haven't added labeling after 2-3 years of asking for it, I wouldn't expect much.

Delete C:\Windows\Installer\Razer? Over 13GB!

They just seem to be update-files that Razer's update-method seems to refuse to clean up after itself. - I've also had this issue, having built up tens of Gigs of Razer-files over the span of a few years on the same Windows-installation, and wondering where my drive-space went. - I had to find out with one of those drive-space-analyzers, because these are basically "hidden" files. Or at least they're not in a location you tend to go and see, and they're also not put there with the user's permission. And, no, removing those files (with the longer names) generally shouldn't cause any issues, because they're basically just update-files that Razer's updater runs, but doesn't remove when there are new ones. - You could leave the newest ones to be safe, as perhaps they might be used or something. But the user shouldn't be expected to manage these files. Razer should program it to clean up after itself if those files are old and won't be used anymore.This is really bad practice and shouldn't

Request for a new feature in Hypershift - Lighting up individual buttons with macros

I can suggest reaching out to the manufacturer of Hypershift or the community forums to request this feature. You can also try submitting a support ticket or contacting their customer service directly to make your feature request known. They may be able to provide more information on whether this feature is already in development or can add it to their feature request list for future updates. The manufacturer of Hypershift?… Hypershift is a feature within Synapse, not a product.
