Their software is a nightmare it No Longer Works. It just redirects you to web pages. I just want to remove the hotkeys but guess I'll just snap the keyboard in half

Razer has entered the chat

Razer Synapse is hands down the worst piece of software I've ever used. Their drivers can't find their own ass with both hands and a map. If I had a dime for every time my Razer mouse or keyboard fucked up during a game and screwed me over I'd have enough money to buy an actually good mouse and keyboard.

Oh yes I totally agree with this. If you think logitech is bad then you haven't used synapse. For the last 2 months my rgb resets to default spectrum cycle after each restart so I just don't even use it anymore I just let it sit there doing nothing.

Razer are pretty awful. Their hardware seems to come from Factory A (the units that 12 year old tech reviewers seem to get stock from) and Factory B (the units that only I seem to have gotten stock from). I had a Razer Kraken Pro headset and it was so tight it gave me an ear infection. I used to stretch it over my ATX tower every night (and I mean, it felt like it was going to break the headset). But it still never loosened. Ended up returning it.

I then bought a mouse from them and it died within 3 months, lights would just flash. Oh, and I'm a Linux user so fuck me for wanting software.
