[Razer] Razer Synapse 2.0 Used For Always-On Data Mining - Page 4

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.

Pointless info because those two mice are useless for macro'ing.

There's basically no point to the Naga if the software doesn't work without a network connection.

The whole point to the Naga is the ability to macro and customize.

Not true.

It requires an internet connection to make any changes to your mouse. Want to change the DPI? Needs a connection. What happens when it's not your fault? Their servers are bad enough already that it will actually lock the program up while making changes. What if a storm knocks out their servers completely, or a fire, or a flood, or a mad employee. What happens at a LAN with no outside access? The idea of needing an internet connection for a MOUSE is crazy. Why does a pointing device need active and stable network access?

Storage of settings on the cloud is a great idea. Requiring you to use the cloud to use the mouse and then selling your personal data is just crazy.

Well that sucks. Looks like I'm going with Logitech. No logins there.
