It appeared to work right away and I didn’t bother checking the actual configuration software.However, a few days ago I needed to create a macro and found out that the old Synapse software didn’t recognize the keyboard (although the OS saw it just fine).

That didn’t sit well with me so I found and installed the old Synapse 1.0 drivers. I went ahead and got the latest drivers (Synapse 2.0 by this point) and discovered that they required online registration as well as always-on Internet connection. A recent system upgrade required me to install keyboard drivers again to get all the functionality. I have one of Razer’s keybords and have been happily using it for probably roughly two years with Synapse 1.0 drivers. Skip to bottom half for the instructions.
