What mouse are you using?

 

Any mouse with onboard memory will usually allow you to save the lighting/DPI/button mapping profile to the mouse itself.  Then you can uninstall the control software afterwards.

 

Razer used to have onboard memory on all their mice, but they've since cut that back on their new models so they can collect info about you from their driver software. 

 

Logitech G mice still have onboard memory.

Mother fucker. I just brought a Razer mouse. 

 

*Looks up if it has on board memory*

 

Looks like I'm taking a trip to best buy tomorrow.

The Basilisk X Hyperspeed has onboard memory IIRC -- but most of Razer's mice require you to have the Synapse installed all the time.

I looked it up, it doesn't. It has five pre-set DPI settings on cycle button but will need to have Synapse on to run anything custom.

I thought it allowed you to save/edit the DPI settings onboard, but things like button remapping/macros require Synapse?

 

If it's already on the way to you I guess you'll find out soon enough.

According to this review remapped buttons and marcos need to have Synapse running to save the changes.

This is a deal breaker for me. I'm going to return it.
