The only issue I can see is that they did not list having an internet connection as mandatory on the box somewhere.

I don't see that as a problem, however I do see it this way.
It's a MOUSE, that requires an INTERNET CONNECTION to function at its maximum capacity (IE I can't use the macro functionality unless the thing can connect to the synapse system).
Does that not seem really stupid to you? I can set up macros all day on my G700, export them to a small USB key and install them on any computer I see fit.
EDIT: You should have a problem with this based on principle. It's not a good idea to make it always online. However cloud based macro storage is actually a great idea. This implementation is really excessive and unnecessary.
I stopped buying Razer products when I got my FREE Mamba 2 years ago. Mouse never worked right with the games I played, and Razer refused to see an issue with the mouse.
