Large amounts of tracking in razer software

I have come across this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/privacy/s/lc0V0dFeaT recently and is probably good to mention in this article, I want to be able to verify the information is correct, but I don't own any razer or mac software: HeadedBranch (talk) 14:11, 9 December 2025 (UTC)

Update breaks support for touchpad LCD screen

The Razer Blade Pro 17" (2015) had an LCD screen behind the touchpad and some of the keys that allowed them to be used as programmable keys in a manner similar to a Stream deck. This was (apparently) its main feature.

However in 2019 an update to the software "Razer synapse" broke support for this LCD screen. Apparently this software came as subscription service.

Update breaks ability to use Chroma light strip set aka Chroma wireless ARGB controller with Razer Aether strips or Razer Chroma Addressable RGB controller.

Unable to switch lighting profiles within Razer's own software without devices moving from saved position. I have this set of RGB devices on the first Custom PC I built. It runs on Synapse 3 with minimal error. I participated in 2024 Synapse 4 beta with these devices. I also knew it was finally time to upgrade my 1080ti and a new build was in order so I started collecting the same devices mid 2024 to use on the new Synapse and whatever new PC tech came out after. Around CES 2025 I noticed I could no longer change lighting profiles without devices moving in Chroma studio. So I contacted support. I have a headache and will finish later.
