Razer's Synapse, or cloud based drivers seem like a huge step backwards. Needing to make an account so I can change the sensitivity of my mouse is crazy.
I've heard the argument
* they needed more space on the device so couldn't include the drivers and configuration
* cloud drivers allow portability of configuration
Both of those fall on their face in reality. Lan gaming is mostly dead since most multiplayer games are online and memory space is cheap.
- pfooti 10y agoyou can run synapse in offline mode.
- hodgekins 10y agoStill worth avoiding. It's a bad precedent to have hardware on the "cloud" for no reason. I still need to interface with their online service to use my offline device. Having a keyboard capable of calling home is not something I want any part of.
