It is large, it required me to login and it crashes half the time (the last one might be because of my environment, but everything else works fine so I won’t lose any time trying to make it work), unfortunately the macro keys, macro recording and, basically, everything macro-related doesn’t work without the software running. What Razer calls Synapse 2.0 is one of the most obnoxious pieces of software I’ve erver used. Quality-wise the hardware is not bad but I quickly found out the software is atrocious. It looks a lot better and feels a lot less harsh to the eyes in dark environments. I bought a big bag of 3mm white LEDs on eBay (around 5usd), improvised a keycap remover and replaced the blue LEDs with the white ones: During the day it was almost acceptable but, in darker environments, the blue backlight was really unpleasant. Backlighting is pretty unimportant on a keyboard, but it does help a bit when using it on dark environments and, let’s be honest, it looks cool…Īfter searching for a bit, the cheaper peripheral that fitted the requirements that I could find was the Razer BlackWidow Ultimate and it also has extra programmable keys, so I picked one up in a store for 120euro (yes, for some reason razer peripherals are sold with a conversion rate of 1USD to 1EUR). As I was about to spend 100 euros on a keyboard, I decided that I might as well pay 20 or 30 more and buy one with backlighting. I tried a keyboard with Cherry blue mechanical switches and I loved the feeling, a couple of weeks later I decided to buy one. You can delete or uninstall this software if you want and you don't need to keep it running.Update: Some people requested details on the LED replacement, so I made a new video (on the bottom of this post) to clarify the process. Proceed to select the color you want and then click on apply color. Select the Razer Peripheral you want to change the color or effect of.Ĭhoose the "Direct" option in the mode drop down menu. But if anyone wants to know it, let me know by pm or comment.ĭownload OpenRGB ( thanks to Adam Honse for this much needed software). The tutorial is kinda lengthy and confusing so I am kinda reluctant to write it with every little detail. I have only tested this on my membrane Razer Cynosa Chroma Keyboard but I have reason to believe that this method will work on every razer peripheral. Even when your computer is restarting, the keyboard or mouse doesn't show that stupid rainbow and cycling effect.
You never need to install synapse nor do you need to keep it running in the background. As the title suggests, I have found a way to change the default color and effect on razer peripherals without synapse.
