Completely agree with that point! That’s something that also bothers me. But to be fair that’s an issue with the product itself, not the software.

The mice aren’t forgetting your settings because Synapse is bad, they’re forgetting them because Razer didn’t bother putting on-board memory in them to remember the settings.

Ok so again… that’s a business deal. Do you understand that me paying you to exclusively use my product is completely legal and not even immoral unless it causes harm on a person? If a company bribes a doctor to use only their brand of medicine, that’s immoral. If a company pays a sports team to only use their products and avoid all others, that’s literally the basis of sports sponsorships. Amd presented the best case for dell to only use their chips. Is your workplace bribing you by paying you a set fee with the understanding that you only work for them and no one else? Come on man

The whole point of this and devices like this are to give physical controls to common tasks so you can quickly trigger them, even without looking. Using old devices is great for some things, but they don't compare to having physical controls.

It's like all those new cars that just have a giant tablet instead of buttons and knobs. No one likes those because they're harder to use while doing something else.

The biggest issue I have is that none of their mice let you save the RGB settings to the mouse so I'm required to run the software all the time to avoid a spew of rainbow lights that kill my battery life. Logitech lets me set things up, save it to the mouse, and then I uninstall the software. I don't care if it's less intuitive, no idea if it is or not. I don't want to run software 24/7 and Razer won't even let you disable the lights without running it.
