I formatted my computer and wanted to reinstall Synapse 2.0. However, when I try to download it from the official site (https://www.razer.com/synapse-2), it downloads the installer for Synapse 4.0.

According to Razer, they still support Synapse 2.0, meaning it's not been discontinued. (https://mysupport.razer.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1358/~/will-razer-stop-supporting-razer-synapse-2.0)

Does anyone still have a legitimate installer for Synapse 2.0?

Well this is depressing news, I have used my Orbweaver for over a decade now, I'm happy and comfortable with it.

But now that they have decided to discontinue SYnapse 2, it has become a paperweight.

I would still be able to usue it if the team at Razer who programmed it didn't decide to make Buttons 11 and 16 Capslock and Shift, instead of the more sane solution to make it Shift and CTRL by default. That was what my entire profile was, but now it's inaccessible. Synapse 3 doesn't support Orbweaver, so I can't port my profile to that, and Synapse 4, it is the same problem.

Shame.

I just received the news...I knew this day would eventually come...Synapse 2...end of support to the best Synapse Razer ever had 💯 My Kraken 7.1 V2's from 2016 are still my daily headset. 🙏

What would i use instead of synapse 2 for my left handed razer mouse and my black widow full keyboard? I had issues setting up both of these when i origianlly got them but eventually i worked out the bugs, had them or a version of them for years.

Afaik the mouse isnt supported by ANYTHIGN OTHER than synapse 2. Am a wrong? i believe i tried to use synapse 3 and it didnt recognize my mouse and sometimes my keyboard. Both are at least a year or 2 old. (replaced my mosue with a multi button mouse of the same ilk and my keyboards have always been black widow edition green switches.)

The colors mostly work but lately havent been always cooperating. right now by keyboard and mouse are cycling colors rather than staying red like my pc does.

Any help or ideas appreciated. Been a loyal supporter of razer since i found out they have one of the only good left handed mice on the market, if not the only one ive ever found and i like their clicky keyboard switches.

thanks for ideas or info.

Hello everybody,
With the upcoming discontinuation of Synapse 2, I'm wondering how I’ll be able to manage keys and macros for my Razer Nostromo and old Naga devices.
Is there any alternative software I can use to configure the keys on these devices?

Pretty much what it says in the title. My headset - a Man 'O War Wireless - uses Synapse 2, was never added to Synapse 3/4 but also does not offer a way to export my settings, so how do I backup my settings so that things will continue to work going forward - on newer Windows installs, on newer computers? The core functions of the headset do not require Synapse - the headset/wireless adapter show up as a generic USB device and work perfectly fine on Windows/Linux/macOS without the driver, but the 7.1 stuff and calibration/RGB functions are only available in Synapse...

Of course, support is useless - non-native English speakers who are not technical and do not have the ability to assist with this, which is not unexpected for this scale of problem but there is also no other public way to raise a complaint at all. Typical useless, rude garbage I've come to expect with extremely cut rate customer service - talking over me, unable to open tickets, struggling to form quasi-valid English sentences. Useless.

I have a hackintosh, and bought a Tartarus v2 a year and a bit ago specifically because my 2012 Mamba always worked fine with Synapse 2.0 (v 1.87). I thought that if I kept my system at Mac OS 10.14, everything would continue to work perfectly. Most days I've been in gaming heaven.

Then today, Synapse started to go haywire. Razer had brought out an update to Synapse 2.0 (v1.88) but the update can only be applied through Synapse 2.0, and can't be installed directly. Doing so crashes Synapse 2.0, which then re-starts and demands you update it.

Caught in it's failed update loop, the app would re-open and take top position on my desktop, making it impossible to do anything else other than futilely ask it to try updating again. I found there was no way to download the update directly, so I uninstalled the misbehaving software and got on the horn to Nvidia customer support.

Razer haven't supported Synapse 2.0 for Mac for a while, but now they have decided the best way to make money is to break the software they were't supporting, and us c**ts that bought hardware that requires it are s**t out of luck until they can come up with a replacement, or we go out and buy a new rig. They actually said that I shouldn't be worried, because the product could still be used in a generic way (the main 'generic way' to use a left-hand keyboard/joystick you can't map any of they keys on, is as a paperweight).

So if you reply, I'm looking for 2 things:
1 - an app for Mac that will support the Tartarus v2 (I'm creating a son file for Karibiner Elements that may let me use most of the keys - if anyone has any, please post a file so I can import it).

2 - the home address of the head of customer service for Razer, so I can take a s**t through his letterbox when I'm next in the neighbourhood.

They should put a new motto under their logo.
Razer: "if you don't break it, we'll do it for you."

I should be happy because there is no risk they update anything and mess my almost flawless configs. I am a little concerned that Synapse 4.0 would ever be buggy as it is now. My main critics on Synapse 4 is that editing any profile on Studio is almost impossible, once any command/movement takes literally 5-10 seconds. Only to adjust position of a device. What are your critics/problems/concerns on Synapse 4?

My mouse (naga epic chroma) isn't yet supported by Synapse 3.0, for whatever reason. My keyboard (tournament black widow chroma) is supported by 3.0.

Can I use both (2.0 for mouse, 3.0 for keyboard), or am I stuck with 2.0 only until 3.0 integrates my mouse as well?

I can't find clear answers, so apologies if this does come up and I've repeated it.

I'm a Razer Orbweaver user (have used them for years). Does anyone know of a good Synapse alternative? While it wasn't the greatest piece of software, it did largely do what I wanted.
