I quit the app & plugged out the keyboard. Then, I plugged it back in & started Synapse again. This time, the Customize tab was showing the keyboard (it wasn't showing the first time around) & changing the lighting modes worked. The best part for me was I was able to swap the alt (option) & windows (command) key functionality in Preferences > Keyboard > Modifier Keys. So, it works just like a mac layout - albeit still physically windows & without the fn key on the left of the spacebar. Long story short, Synapse seems to be working fine for me. And now, I'm typing this on my Ornata Chroma. So, I guess it was a pretty good gamble for me. Hope it stays this way.Ĭlick to expand.Thanks for sharing, I'm glad that it's working out for you. Now for a real honest heads up: as I'm sure you've discovered, you won't be able to do EVERYTHING with your Ornata Chroma on Mac OS as you would be able to on Windows. I think the packaging would have even had one of those asterisks next to some of the features, sayng this. So good on you for hanging in there anyway. If you are ever prompted to update the software, do yourself a favour and save the installer file. Do this by NOT updating through Synapse, but going to the Synapse page and downloading the newest version from there (then uninstall Synapse and re-install the new one). I say this because there will inevitably come an update that causes your Ornata Chroma to lose some of the functionality that you're enjoying now, and after submitting a bug report, you'll be able to just go back and install a previous version. Heck, you might want to even re-download the current installer just in case you don't like the next update. I, personally, have all the Mac-Synapse versions going back a couple of years. My only other suggestion is to work in "offline mode" when you can. #1617: Pages regains mail merge, HomeKit sensor improvements, keyboard flags in Monterey.#1616: Explaining passkeys, Apple challenges for senior citizens, macOS 11.6.7 Big Sur fixes email attachment bug.
