I really like my Razer Naga, but one day I went to install new drivers and found that they required signing up for their "cloud" service. Worse, the old drivers weren't available from their site. So, now I'm using the mouse without drivers and am unable to benefit from the extra buttons much of the time. I refuse to sign up for their cloud service when all I need is hardware drivers. I sent Razer a polite but angry e-mail about it a while back. I won't be buying Razer hardware again if this doesn't change.

It's unlikely Razer will change their business strategy, but in the meantime you should be able to download old drivers from Softpedia here: http://drivers.softpedia.com/dyn-search.php?search_term=razer+naga&x=0&y=0 http://drivers.softpedia.com/dyn-search.php?search_term=raze... If the particular OS/version is absent from that list, then googling around will likely get you what you need. Zero point in enjoying less than the full potential of your hardware. Good luck!

  Actually: "For one thing, Razer now plans to make Synapse 1.0 drivers and other legacy drivers available shortly on its support site"

I went through the same experience as you. One day I downloaded the drivers after reinstalling Windows and found it asking for a username and password. The old drivers are still on the site though, just hidden. To find them, follow these steps: 1. Go to http://www.razersupport.com http://www.razersupport.com. 2. Scroll down the page, and then click on the Drivers, Firmware And Manuals Download button. 3. From the Main Categories menu on the right side of the screen, click Razer Mice Products. 4. From the Download Categories list, click your mouse series. 5. From the Download Categories list, click your mouse model. 6. From the Download Categories list, click Drivers. 7. If the Legacy drivers are available, they will appear in this Downloads list. The Naga ones are here: http://www.razersupport.com/index.php?_m=downloads&_a=view&parentcategoryid=76&pcid=0&nav=0 http://www.razersupport.com/index.php?_m=downloads&_a=vi...
