Does razer have to be running in the taskbar?

[nelska]

I've always had the synapse running and just recently realized if I close the program entirely. The dpi switch buttons still work, the clutch sense button still works. ect all the features work.. (basilisk v2). Do you not have to keep this program running once you have the settings you want. I think it remembers polling rate too. The keyboard tho is a blackwidow and I'm not sure if the ultra polling rate sticks at 1000hz or not. But, I do know the ghosting feature doesnt work with more than 6 keys without synapse actually running. Can anyone help me out with exacts here, i tried on reddit and nobodies answered the thread. I totally would rather shut the program down after I set everything to what I want.

If you can't tell in a game (assuming that's what you use it for) then why does it matter whether it's 1000Hz? You're still getting the same experience regardless.

 

Basically, if closing the program doesn't cause you any noticable problems with the keyboard//mouse, then close it - it's fine.

yeh, im way more of a ocd person than that. and if you ask around the company doesnt help you with any of this. lol.

 

EDIT: I'm pretty sure the only reason you want it actually running is to set the polling rates and smart tracker features. and lighting and macros. The whole board ghost feature is probably to write macros on or something. You really don't need to be able to press more than 6 keys at once.. So, once you close it you still have some ghosting features its just 6 keys instead of ALL the keys.

Out of curiosity, are you going into the task manager and closing all of the Razer services, or just closing it from the taskbar by clicking close all apps? There's still several Razer services running when you just shut Synapse down through the taskbar.

 

Your mouse has onboard memory and your keyboard probably has it as well. I'm not sure the extent of what it saves since I can't seem to find any info from Razer on it, but it's possible that your peripherals are using the on-board profiles when you shut down Synapse.

i will rightclick it on the taskbar and "exit synapse" if I want to stop using the antighosting schemantics offered by the synapse 3.0 program. it doesnt antighost the whole keyboard until synapse IS running. the only other thing I noticed is instead of a notification telling you the dpi has changed you get nothing when the programs not running.
