Razer Synapse 3 - MAC! Posted by 3 months ago. Razer Synapse 3 - MAC! Hi, I am a Developer and Gamer. I game on a MacBook Pro, don't judge me, I was dumb at the time and not into buying a new Laptop now. Basically I still can't understand why Razer would do this, limiting basic usage of RGB lighting to Windows. The Razer BlackWidow V3 Pro is outstanding for gaming. The clicky Razer Green switches on our unit offer low pre-travel and light actuation force. That said, this keyboard is also available with silent linear switches. It has full RGB backlighting and macro-programmable keys, which are customizable in the Razer Synapse 3 companion software.

What is the difference between THX Spatial Audio on the Razer Nari Ultimate and the immersive 7.1 channel virtual surround sound paired with the Razer ManO'War and True 7.1 Surround Sound Gaming with Razer Tiamat 7.1 v2?
THX Spatial goes beyond traditional virtual sound. With integrated content, THX Spatial Audio breaks the boundaries of defined 5.1 and 7.1 channel surround to deliver seamless 360° positional audio for more natural and lifelike positioning. It also adds depth to the experience by simulating sound both above and beneath you.
The 7.1 channel Virtual Surround sound utilized on the Razer ManO'War uses a more traditional technology that Razer uses to simulate 7 channels with only 2 physical speakers (1 driver on each ear cup). Meanwhile, Razer Tiamat 7.1 and Razer 7.1 V2 utilizes True 7.1 Surround where there are 5 drivers on each ear cup, the same as a home theatre system with physical surround speakers.
