Userlevel 7

Hey folks checking in really quick to get a gauge at what your experience has been so far with the Synapse beta. If you can take a few moments of your time to answer this quick question it would be super helpful for us, and we would really appreciate it. Thanks!

 

Are you enjoying the Synapse beta?

It's been really good so far, some minor bugs, few nice new things/improvements.

It will be really good if users will be informed what's new/improved in updates (changelog ftw). Also can't wait till it'll be more ‘finished', so devs will have more time for new things 😁

Last time I checke the beta, my Black Shark USB was not detected and configurable in Synapse directly. All other Hardware workes great so far.

Mine Blackshark V2 Pro was detected/configurable, but since last release (or 2) it’s not detected.

I really enjoy the new Synapse, looks very clean and pleasant to use.

The icon on the system tray is really cool as well 😀

Even in it’s current form, it is better than Synapse 3. That said, not having use of the ARGB controller is very annoying. 

There’s a bug whare the RGB effects lag and freeze. Especially noticeasble when using effetcs like wave. It occurs on random and doesn’t seem to be related to system load as I’ve encountered it right after rebooting with no windows open.

I wish all of my Razer products were supported - but they are not (tartarus pro and Kyro Pro) - so I can’t even use the beta yet - I am surprised the T-pro wasn’t supported before the non-pro version - since IMO people of the higher tier items are more likely to test betas.

I haven’t really run into any issues, but my biggest complaint is the lack of regular updates and device support.

Would like for Seiren Mini to be added to the beta :)

I checked the ui/ux a bit but for now can't test much of it cause my devices are not supported yet.

Seiren Mini never been Synapse compatible, so I doubt.

Would love if the Razer Blade 16 was added to the list of supported devices…….

Has it been added yet? Just waiting on this 🥲

Nope 😔

Are you still using synapse 4? or did you downgrade to 3? if you're still on 4, did you find a workaround for the argb hub? i reallyyyy wanna try synapse 4, but its not worth it if i can't use the hub ;//

I’m still using Synapse Beta (aka Synapse 4) because it is SO much more stable and reliable than Synapse 3. Not having ARGB controller support is disappointing, but it doesn’t affect my workflow like, say, my keyboard suddenly not being recognised! lol

Are you using a 3rd party app or any other workaround to use the argb hub, or are you just not using it at all?

I have the controller plugged in still. I use spectrum cycling for everything anyway, which I believe is the ARGB controller’s default setting. I changed up my system’s lighting scheme so that the colours are purposely offset but running at the same colour change speed - it looks kinda cool. This is how I’ve gotten around it bothering me! 😝

I might try that if I see the benefits of Synapse 4 outweighing the fact I won't be able to control my rgb... 

 

What are some of your favorite things about Synapse 4 vs 3? More FPS? Better compatibility in games? Better control? Let me know! 😁

Just try it and see what you think. If you don’t like it, you can always uninstall Synapse Beta and reinstall Synapse 3 - no big deal.

I’ve seen in the Synapse Beta dashboard that Razer have added they are now currently working on providing compatibility for the ARGB controller (and Kiyo Pro Ultra webcam for anyone interested), so you might not have to wait long for full RGB control.
