Razer Unveils Beta Razer Synapse Web, A Browser-Based Keyboard Customization Tool.
For those who don't want to download and install the desktop version of its keyboard software, Razer is now offering an alternative - a browser-based customization tool that's part of the beta release. The new tool is called Synapse Web, and it allows users to customize their keyboards without having to install any software on their devices.
At launch, the tool will be compatible with several versions of Razer's Huntsman V3 Pro keyboards. It offers some basic features for tweaking settings and viewing, editing, and saving custom profiles stored on a connected device. Users can also access pre-defined lighting effects for Razer Chroma RGB keyboards.
While it is more limited compared to the full desktop software, Synapse Web should be appreciated by gamers who already use multiple companion apps for different devices. There's nothing entirely new here, however; companies like Keychron have long offered robust browser-based configuration tools, and some keyboards run on open-source firmware like QMK that has similar customization capabilities.
Synapse Web is currently available in beta form and can only be accessed via Chromium-based browsers such as Google Chrome, Opera, Brave, and Microsoft Edge.
