Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Really disappointing buy. I purchased this mouse as a replacement for a Razer DeathAdder Chroma. It had a similar feel to my previous mouse (although surface was a little rougher) but was quite comfortable in my hand. After plugging it in, I was prompted to install the Razer Synapse 3 software to configure it. Installation was easy and they finally included a "Guest" option that doesn't require a Razer account, which was a nice change. This was where things started to go downhill. I rebooted my machine to finish installing the software and noticed it took 5 additional seconds to shut down and boot into Windows. I figured it was just taking additional time to finish installing the software. This was not the case - the Razer Synapse software added 5s to both startup and shutdown times on a system with a fast PCIE SSD that normally takes a few seconds total. I uninstalled the software and rebooted again - low and behold my startup/shutdown times were back to normal. I re-downloaded the software from Razer and reinstalled. It again added the 5s. This is unacceptable - I also noticed it using significant system resources when idle. I figured - oh well crappy software, but I can probably work around it. So I went into Razer Synapse and set up the mouse and saved my profile to the onboard memory. I disabled Razer Synapse from automatically starting during startup and exited the program. It was about then that I noticed the mouse was doing the "color wheel" effect where it cycles between different colors. It didn't save my lighting settings! I looked around on the forums and apparently this is by design - the onboard memory does not support saving macros or lighting effects (even a simple static color). In one post a Razer representative gave a BS answer about on-board memory being limited. In this day and age NAND is extremely cheap and adding a few bits (hell even doubling the on-board memory) would cost less than a cent. The truth is, the mouse was poorly designed. This is all not to mention that my previous Razer DeathAdder Chroma supported saving lighting effects to on-board memory. Completely unacceptable!!! I am returning this mouse and sticking with my old one until I can find another suitable replacement.
