Hi FiszPL; thanks for your reply. Holy cow, I think you may have hit upon the solution!!! Besides posting a message here on these Razer forums, I had also contacted Razer Tech Support at the same time. Sometimes (and this is not just with Razer, but other companies I have contacted too throughout the years) I get an informative, quicker response on forums than I do from an official company representative. Go figure! o_O It's almost two weeks now that I have been in contact with Razer Tech Support, and the representative who answers my inquiry will have me try something, check a setting, take a screenshot, gather and submit a ZIP/ text file for them, uninstall/ reinstall, etc. My case has also gone through multiple Razer representatives; Level 1, level 2, and Senior Tech Support reps; I'm starting to lose count. During my correspondences with them, I'll sometimes ask them a question....which they never seem to answer; it makes me think that they really don't read what I write but

Symbols/ Flipped

Thanks for the replies everyone. xCryptik: I think I hear what you're saying: That the light "bulb" (the LED) is located towards the top of the keycap? And that that's why Razer "flipped" the location of the numbers/ symbols on the keycap so the light shining through the keycap lights up the number better? Do I have that correct? :wink_: I've never pulled a cap off of a key so I don't know for sure if that's true. And if it were true, then why did they make that their design, to locate the light/ LED at the top of the keycap and not the bottom? Because if this was deliberate by design (the light/ LED at the top of keycap), then they had to make that other adjustment to compensate for the light to shine through better, the adjustment of "flipping" all of the numbers/ symbols from the standard that has been around for years. And not just the number/ symbol keys, because as I mentioned in my original post, it's other symbol keys, too: The semi-colon and colon (; :) the apostroph

Access Denied when replying.

I was asked to join this thread. Yes, same thing here: I had experienced problems posting and receiving the "Access Denied" message on-screen. Sometime I'd receive the message after clicking on the Submit button, or, on the Post Reply button. And sometimes the Access Denied message would show up as I was typing. There seems to be no rhyme or reason to it. I had put up a post about it here: /posting-error.56545/ And then I put up another post, and, at the time, the work-a-round seemed to be to post bits and pieces of my post at a time until I got all of it out; I posted that one here: /data-size-on-drive.56588/ I performed a search, and, evidently, it happens a lot here on these forums. Surely the devs & moderators must be aware of it by now :big_grin_: Pez

Hi M-S-G; thanks for jumping in on this thread. And I managed to get everything posted that I wanted to get posted without receiving that "Access Denied" message....but just had to do it in bits and pieces :wink_: So, you say the Synapse 3 folder install size (almost 1 Gigabyte) is "normal" after all. All that I wanted it for was so that I could program the lights on my mouse and keyboard; I shouldn't need a Gig's worth of data to do that. There should be something during the install process to let you pick precisely the features that you want and then forget the rest of that stuff. And I'm not sure what you meant by "Optional Synapse only transmits limited information to your hardware". Well of course the Synapse program has to transmit information to the hardware (mouse and keyboard) in order for it to work. I'm just concerned with information it may be transmitting outside of my computer, across the 'Net, to the Razer company. They don't need to know things like, web sites

Data Size On Drive

This post was from about a year ago, so, the wordage from Razer may have changed since then: "...such as information about the amount of time you use our products/services for the pages you visit, your typing patterns, and other information about your activities while using our hardware or software". "...such as information about your operating system, browser, software applications, IP address, geolocation, security status and other device information in order to improve your experience, to protect against fraud and manage risk". For the person that put up this post I found, it came down to this: Typing patterns = Keylogging Pages I visit = Spyware And I'll add this: When I launch Task Manager, right there on the Processes tab, there are 12 items/ processes running that are all linked to Razer (FPSRunner; GameManagerService; PMRunner 32 & 64; Razer Central; Razer Synapse; RazerCortex; RzKLService; etc.). That's alotta background processes running!! ;) Well, let me know what yo

Sometimes when any of us install a software program, we don't always fully read the "agreement"; we just keep clicking Next, then OK. I came across a post on the 'Net regarding Razer's Privacy Policy. To be continued:

So, I started doing some random searches on the 'Net on Synapse 3. There are some comments out there that this program is considered "bloatware"; ummmmm, yeah, I think I might agree with that. I also came across some comments that some consider this program something practically along the lines of Spyware. I know that can be debated, that some things are in a gray area. To be continued:

Data Size On Drive

Now let me check something, because I'm pretty sure that when I had Synapse 2, that the installation size on my hard disc measured in megabytes..... When I navigate my way to Program Files, there are two folders in there called "Razer" and "Razer Chroma SDK". The sizes of both of these folders is the same: 277 KB. OK, no problem there. When I navigate my way to Program Files (x86), the same two folders are also in here: "Razer" and "Razer Chroma SDK". The size of the Razer Chroma SDK folder is 40.7 MB, but, the size of the Razer folder is......982 MB. Geez, that is nearing 1 Gigabyte. I still have the installer file on my hard drive; it lists the install file for Synapse 3 being at 4.56 MB. When I originally saw that, I though, Hmmm, maybe they streamlined it, because, I still have the installer file from years ago from a Synapse 2 installation; that installer file is 21.6 MB. But....I guess it turns out that that 4.56 MB size for the Synapse 3 installer is deceiving; it must

Data Size On Drive

First, a little back story: The first Razer product I had was the DeathAdder 3500 mouse; I think I got that back around when it first came out, so I've had since about 2009/ 2010. It lasted a long time, but, it was time for a new mouse. So I got the Mamba Elite. And then, I was also in the market for a new keyboard, and finally settled on the Ornata Chroma. However, all these years of using the DeathAdder 3500, I had had the software program of Synapse 2 installed. Yes, it would notify me from time to time of updates, but it always stayed Synapse 2. I eventually uninstalled Synapse 2 after getting the new mouse & keyboard. After getting the Mamba Elite and the Ornata Chroma, I see that there is a Synapse 3 out, which, after installation and an icon for it shows up in my Systray, it is called "Razer Central".

Posting Error

Hi M-S-G. Run text through a translator? Some special program you have on your computer that can translate from another language into English? Or do you mean one of the available online translators? Such as https://translate.google.com/, or https://www.bing.com/translator/? Anyway, either way, I myself had not been suing something like that before. Sometimes if I'm about to post something, but, if it is rather detailed and a bit long, I'll Copy/ Paste the text in my post into Microsoft Word, check for any spelling, grammar, or syntax errors, and then Paste it back into the post on the web site and submit it. But, yes, I have been to forums elsewhere on the 'Net that have had an issue when Pasting text from a Microsoft Word document; text within a Word document has special formatting sometimes, and online forums are not always "friendly" with it o_O So, what I've then done at times is that after I've Pasted text into Microsoft Word, and then am satisfied with what I see, I then

Posting Error

Hmmm, how about that. I had, in-fact, done some Copying/ Pasting from a plain text document (Windows NotePad), so perhaps that was the cause of the error? But....there were no images on that post, just the one image I had here in this post. OK, I went and launched and tried a different browser (Firefox), and logged back in to my account. I tried the post again in the Synapse forum, no Copying & Pasting this time, just typing out everything from scratch. But at some point during my typing, that message popped up again on-screen. Is there some kind of filter in the forums? Is it "catching" something that it thinks is inappropriate in my post? I checked my post's language, for any words that might "seem" inappropriate, or those kind of words with double meanings; nada. Weird. Man, this stinks. It won't let me post what I really want to post. Pez

Mouse/ BIOS

Hi ARMOR_152; thanks for the reply. Hmmm....didn't think of that. Yes, the USB ports on my motherboard's rear I/O panel are USB 3.0, but they are 2.0 compatible.....and I looked at my motherboard's manual, and it looks like ALL of my USB ports are 3.0. And it's not like this mouse is some old, ancient thing :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye_:; you'd figure this mouse would be friendly with a USB 3.0 port. But, I have many USB ports on my motherboard's rear I/O panel, so I'll give one of the other USB ports a try and see if that does the trick next time I boot into my BIOS. Pez
