BlackWidow Essential - How to PERMANENTLY disable "Breathing" backlighting effect?

moexx017it is really pissing me off as well. I have tossed Blackwidow essential into the trach and gone to Logitech. Hard to believe that Razer would break the lighting and than not own up to it and fix the GD problem! They've lost me as a customer. I honestly think it was fully intentional. They want to force you into using Synapse. But like you, I won't use a keyboard that doesn't work properly without a crummy background app. Huge disappointment; I had been a loyal Razer customer/fan for years.

BlackWidow Essential - How to PERMANENTLY disable "Breathing" backlighting effect?

Jbrarim having the same problem and its starting to piss me tf off. I've got bad news, bruv. After a week and a half of back-and-forth with Razer's "wonderful" and "competent" support, they responded that it's working as designed and can't/won't be fixed. The main problem is the BlackWidow Essential's lack of rewriteable hardware profilles. The RGB keyboards, for example, let you write your hardware settings to the keyboard so it behaves like you want when the software's not running. No-can-do with the Essential. (This is also why it reverts to Breathing when Windows is locked and when Windows first boots up. The Razer Synapse settings are only in effect when you're logged in to a user profile with your desired settings; the board reverts to hardware defaults at all other times.) This pissed me off so much I have sworn off Razer completely. I replaced the BlackWidow Essential with a Corsair K70 RGB. Took me 2 days to figure out how to create an all-green hardware profile in their com
