Gaming peripheral company Razer has the beta release of Synapse Web, a browser-based version of its desktop software. The web app is intended for quick adjustments when away from home, such as LANs or tournaments, where downloading the full desktop version may not be possible or practical.
At launch, Synapse Web will only support the Razer Huntsman V3 Pro keyboards, though Razer says more devices will be added down the line. Using any Chromium-based browser, users can make quick changes to key settings, apply Chroma RGB quick effects and manage on-board profiles. These profiles can then be viewed, edited and saved directly to the keyboard’s device memory, so the configuration stays consistent when moving between PCs.
The company says the new web-based tool is meant to “complement” Synapse 4, the most recent desktop version, but its appeal may be in providing an alternative altogether. Even a cursory search online will turn up that is with , so fans of the brand may be happy to use a pared-down web app if it means more reliability. Razer says you’ll still need the full app for advanced customization and “deeper device integration” like multi-device RGB syncing or game-specific profiles.
