Razer Deathadder Help

[TormHD]

If I get a Razer Deathadder Re-Spawn will I be able to program one of the buttons on it like the RAT 5 or RAT 7 which has a button that if you hold it lowers the dpi which is good for sniping in games.

Thanks,

Charlie

Yes, you most definitely can.

sure. i'm not a fan of the new razer drivers though (synapse 2.0) as its stored on the cloud and requires an account and internet connection.

i like the older deathadder (blue glow mouse wheel or solid black mouse wheel) which has standard no hassle drivers though.

As far as I know, you only need an internet connection once. After that, you can use it offline.

my brother has a razer naga hex and i've seen synapse pop up and try to connect to the cloud every time he restarts the pc. there may be a setting to disable this but by default it is quite annoying. what is also annoying is that you need to create an account for mouse drivers which have absolutely zero reason to connect to a cloud or the internet at all (except for updates which mouse drivers have always done). i'm just saying its a bit irritating.

i think he is probably using an old version of the software

at most its 3-4 months old. all i'm saying is that i personally wouldnt use the new software since i dont care for how they approached it but that i do use the old drivers for my older deathadder. just throwing that out there so the op can see some opinion on the matter.

have you ever tried to use the software on ur brother's pc without internet? if you try, you will probably see that it does work.

i never said that it did not work offline.

i said that it attempts to connect to the cloud any chance it gets.

That's just to ensure that you have the latest gaming profile. This is a incredibly useful feature for people who take advantage of it. However, I can understand why you would get annoyed by this. There might be a way to disable it. The reason it is on by default is because most people don't mind.

1. Press the Start button + r
2. Type "msconfig" minus the quotations and hit enter
3. Go to the Startup tab and find Razer Synapse
4. Uncheck it and hit okay.
easy-peasy
