Software: Razer Comms and Razer Synapse

The Razer Bract Pro ships with Windows eight.1 64-scrap and equally is often the case with custom boutique builders, bloatware is kept to an absolute minimum. Razer isn't quite what I'd call a boutique builder but they nonetheless did a great chore of eliminating bloatware.

The Blade Pro only came with two programs installed that aren't considered necessary to basic Windows functions: Razer Comms and Razer Synapse.

Razer Comms is an in-game messenger platform that provides free VoIP and text-based conversation. The PC version was built as a lightweight installation as to save those previous cycles for what really matters: games. In that location's no shortage of chat apps for gamers just if y'all haven't yet establish one you really like, it may exist worth giving Comms a try.

Synapse, meanwhile, is Razer's unified configuration software where users tin create macros and remap the controls of nearly every product in Razer'southward catalog. Everything is saved automatically to the cloud so they'll be there when you need them regardless of where you are (bold you have an Internet connection handy, of form).

Synapse does way more than but calibrate your hardware. It also has the ability to track all of your in-game clicks and movements, creating a useful gear up of statistics and even oestrus maps from the data. The stats and maps can be overlaid over default or in-game screenshots to provide a detailed analysis of exactly how a session played out.

I suspect that the stats & estrus maps may just be utilized on a consequent footing by hardcore gamers simply regardless, it's there if you want to play around with information technology.

Yous'll as well detect the Switchblade UI App Director within Synapse. Razer has pre-loaded 14 apps which are spring to the dynamic tactile keys to a higher place the LCD trackpad. The organization tin can store up to 100 apps at whatever given time; a iii-finger swipe to the left or right on the trackpad is used to flip through each set of 10 key bindings.

As of this review, there were 28 additional apps available for download. Some of the more pop offerings include apps for Photoshop, Twitch Television, Steam Chat and Spotify. There are also a handful of apps that transform the trackpad into a hub of useful data when playing games similar Skyrim, Battlefield iii, Counterstrike and Squad Fortress 2.

The 10 programmable keys aren't express to apps. It's also possible to bind macros to these keys and fifty-fifty assign custom-created icons to them.
