What cable does the Razer Huntsman Tournament Edition use?
Is the Razer Huntsman Tournament Edition supported by Razer Chroma?
What is the form factor of the Razer Huntsman Tournament Edition?
I've just purchased this keyboard and almost returned it because lighting profiles presumably require Synapse. And it seems that this info isn't visible enough:
It is possible to have custom (to some degree) effects stored on keyboard without installing Synapse software.
There is a video I found on youtube which shows how to do it: https://youtu.be/I95VqUCozAI?t=450
You can press fn + ctrl + [1-7] to change current back-light effect. Fn + menu selects an on-board profile (there's 5 of them). And then for example, fn+ctrl+2 sets given profile to static color. Fn+ctrl+2 again changes the static color to a different one. Fn+ctrl+4 is the default spectrum effect. And on top of that keyboard still remembers all macros and hypershift. So now I can use built-in color effects and macros even on linux or in bios.
And this isn't mentioned anywhere in the manual of the keyboard... I hope next people with similar problem will find this info faster than I.
