It does what I want it to, which is allows me to manage my Razer mouse & keyboard. I can configure the LEDs however I want in the Chroma Studio, and I like that the Chroma Connect feature allows certain applications to control my LEDs for a more interactive experience.
It does take up more of my system usage than I'd like, but it doesn't interfere with performance for me. If it does for you, I sugguest upgrading your hardware. It ran just fine on my laptop that is slower than crap.
Oops, I made a typo. I meant to say that I recently switched to the New Razer Synapse. It runs much better than Razer Synapse 3 for me.
Absolutely terrible. It utterly litters your system from end-to-end, installing literally TEN different drivers and services.
It stops working randomly. Sometimes the UI simply freezes.
It wants to maintain a 24/7 connection to a wide array of Razer servers--the sheer number of processes connecting out and the number of hosts is staggering.
It logs constantly. There are 18 log directories, each with several logs being written to 24/7.
And no, you won't get support when you need it.
Total, absolute garbage. Steer clear.
Outright doesn't work on Mac.
Both Mac & Windows versions patch your device's firmware regardless of user intent, forcing user to use most recent version of Synapse, which is almost invariably broken.
Genuine trashware, no effort whatsoever 0/10
It works well on Windows but it doesn't seem to work at all on the latest version of Mac.
