I read somewhere that it does this to prevent crashing but this seems rather excessive no?

    To send all of your telemetry to China so they can track your mouse movements and keys.
    Every time you type in something naughty, it sends an email to Xi directly so he can view your screen and camera.

    I’m fairly sure every single function of the razer application is a separate process, even if you’re not using it. I haven’t installed it on my current PC since it’s not required to use my keyboard.

    Also, Razer is based in Singapore, not China, so it’s not sending telemetry like the other person said, at least to China.

    Just disable Razer Central/Synapse launch at startup on the settings. This also applies to their services that can be set to manual. Same goes with LGHub

    Razer is overhyped/over priced low range, all of their software is shit bloatware.

    I used to use all razer products when I was a kid and man was I dumb.

    I only use a mouse by them now and I’m looking to switch eventually(I have brachydactyly type d , the basilisk v3 has a lip that supports my thumb perfectly but I uninstall the software immediately after setting the mouse up)

    Side not- I’ve had 3 of their mouse lasers die after a 2 years of use naga v1, basilisk v1. Wondering if my v3 is gonna die soon as I’ve had it for 2 years.

    I just straight up don’t use the razer software anymore, due to how bloated it is. Tbf their mouse line ups are fine, but personally after buying their headphones and keyboard, I would avoid them.

    Remember when razer had an official crypto miner in their install prompt?

    It’s not called bloatware for nothing

    you don’t need any bloat accessories data collecting software

    It’s based on Electron which uses Chromium backend. So basically every Electron app is like standalone Chrome/Chromium browser. Every chromium based browser behaves like this.

  11. I had huge issues with Razer Synapse due to RAM leak, might be something in the same ballpark

    I’ve got 2 things from Razer and I don’t even have that process.

    Guess it’s something you install alongside the software? – they ***really*** want you to install various other things, when getting their software (I don’t install anything else), so maybe that’s it?.

  13. Uninstalled and sold all razer products. The software is really painful

    Get keyboards and mice that don’t require software.
