![]() ![]() I no longer have any working drivers to support my mouse since Razer Synapse 2.0 does not work with the Big Sur release of macOS and this is quite frustrating. I'm now using a 16" MacBook Pro on macOS Big Sur as both my work and gaming machine with a Deathadder Elite mouse. I also have a Blackwidow Tournament keyboard that I no longer use due to lack of well supported drivers. I've gamed on just about every Mac I've owned using either a Razer Naga or Deathadder. I have been using Razer mice for over 15 years now and at least 12 of those I've been using them on a Mac. So all in all the decision is *very* questionable, but there's nothing we can do about it except look for a good alternative mouse and try and get a descent price for the old one and then let people know what kind of company Razer is, one that places the user last. You even see opensource projects coming to the rescue though for Mac they are still far. They easily have the means to get a driver working on macOS. ![]() Let's be honest, they are building a driver (and some management software). It's not like they are building rockets or a new OS. They've been stalling for ages on what would happen instead of just being clear from the beginning, keeping us all in the dark and hoping. Obviously it's not gonna break their business if the only value you care about is $$ at the bottom line, but giving crap about their macOS users will hurt them and their image going forward. Look back 20 years and ask yourself, are more people using Macs and have gaming become better on Macs? It's a yes to both. End of day they will be pushing away and alienating their Mac segment. All these threads are not gonna change dime, they've had time. Razer's obviously sleeping in class on this one. It just so happens I recently built my own gaming pc - around AU$8,000 all up and naturally Synapse 3 works on Windows but I had to effectively jump from Mac to Windows to use the Synapse software, no matter the cost of the PC system, which is simply unacceptable. Here in Australia this is a breach of Australian Consumer Law which attracts severe financial penalties as this breaches Commonwealth Law. I had a Logitech MX Master 3 but Logitech's quality has gone down the shitter over the years (plus their warranty dropped from two years to one year) and their products are all plastic and light and flimsy, so I returned it and purchased a Razer Mamba Wireless instead and then discovered Synapse 3 is not available for Mac. Obviously in Razer's eyes Mac users are not their target audience, and actions speak louder than words. It seems like they simply cannot be bothered despite Mac users spending hundreds of dollars on Razer's hardware and then suddenly realising without notice beforehand that Synapse has effectively been dumped for Mac. I do find it odd that Razer find it difficult to make Synapse 3 for Mac, when Synapse 2 was available. I'd like to reach out to my fellow mac users to see how many are in the same boat as I am. However, from our perspective, synapse 3 is never coming out of beta which is insanely frustrating to thousands of your paying customers (based on the number of mac threads in the forum). Please get this fixed so I can stop sending my fellow editors to Logitech! I'm increasingly tempted to switch myself but am still holding out hope that you will listen to your customer base. I was so convinced that I got the BlackWidow Keyboard as well.īut we need synapse 3 for Mac! It would help me so much to have a hypershift key and it would allow me to start looking into upgrading to your newer tech if it was only supported on Mac. I got the Razer NAGA Trinity per Eddie Hamilton's recommendation (MI, X-Men, etc) and the hardware, imo, is the best out there. I do all this on a mac and would LOVE to recommend it to my colleagues in film, TV and the pro photo world. Hey Razer, I edit feature films 8 hours a day and game on the weekends with razer hardware. ![]()
