Never buying another razer device after I recently found out that the user agreement allows them to collect all the keystrokes from my keyboard and send them to their company -- you know, so I can customize my keys' colors.

"Mouse Usage Statistics. Synapse 2.0 offers a feature of collecting mouse usage statistics, specifically keystrokes, mouse-clicks, wheel-rotations and pointer distance travelled. Such collection of statistics may be turned on or off within Synapse and is under your own control."
- gruez 5y agoFrom my reading of the paragraph it looks like that feature is totally local? A few sentences before they list out all the data they collect and send to razer, but the sentence about keystrokes doesn't give any indication it's sent to them.
