I always disliked the synapse software myself.

For the price I often get a shorter than expected lifespan out of the razer items I have owned. Everyone has their own experiences with things but I will not be buying razer again anytime soon due to this.

The Synapse software isn't great. I use the Kraken Tournament edition headphones and while the sound quality is pretty great, the mic just sucks, and the settings in Synapse I need to change around to make it sound normal to my friends reset every single day until I open the software and open the tab that has the setting enabled. I don't physically have to change them, just opening the tabs cause the settings to change back, but it's really annoying. 

Probably just going to get a desk mic due to the awful software.

The software is annoying always popping up but I've had the original chroma since it's original release with no issues.

I think I'll go Logitech next just for something different.

I've had the exact same experience with Razer, they must have an amazing PR department to have stayed as relevant as they have.

I've heard this alot for some reason, which is why I never bothered with Razor. I've been using the same Logitech G710+ since 2012 and it's been great. Still looks new and works perfectly. Honestly it's the best KB I've ever owned.

Generally speaking, I have no problems with Razer products -- I am currently using the full suite of Razer products. However, as others have pointed out, Synapse is pretty poop, which is a real disappointment given the price of the hardware.

I 100% agree, never again. Died before warranty over. Tried contacting them both times and got crickets. Never again. Aside from a mouse4 that needs to be online in order to call home and only then will work? Nope, Moved on.

I had to replace my Logitech 610 mouse a year of so ago.  But  that was because a rat had chewed through the wire.  Only issue I had with it was the glide pads were worn down to about half the original size.

Lulz @ spending 120 dollars on a keyboard.

It amuses me that they even point out the "clickity clack" as something positive.

That damn noise is in fact what keeps me from buying a mechanical keyboard.

But it makes you feel so productive and cool! Like you're busy hacking the NSA to save the world from the deep state lizard people, when you're really just typing out some dumb dad puns to your guild.
