OpenRazer Reviews and Details

Is OpenRazer good?

Social recommendations and mentions

• Why the hell do Gaming Hardware brands make drivers for Mac, but not for Linux?

  So if a very skilled developer reverse engineer a driver for some brands (OpenRazer as an example), I feel better about it especially if it's open source. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Razor setup.exe GUI - steam deck

  Why are you trying to run a setup.exe? For linux there's Open Razer. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Razer mouse does not charge (on dock) when computer is locked but powered on and not suspended.

  What a interesting device. As I searching I found mousepad has different device id than mouse itself. This driver may solve your problems. If problem continues could you please share system info with upload-system-info from terminal and sudo lspci -v. Source: about 2 years ago

• Dead by Daylight's Steam Deck Support is Official. Confirmed to Us by Behaviour Interactive.

  Yeah I would take piper over any of that bloated peripheral software anyway, gets the job done. There's also other community projects like OpenRazer. For a keyboard I grabbed a System76 Launch, it's a bit pricey but it's super nice and fully customizable via an appimage. Source: about 2 years ago

• razer mouse not working...

  Try installing OpenRazer, it depends on your distro how exactly, Arch has it in the AUR. Follow the installation path (adding user to plugdev group etc). Using it myself along with Polychromatic on a Viper V2 Pro. Source: about 2 years ago

• Is 8k polling rate supported ?

  I have no idea, probably not by default, but razer have drivers you can install; https://openrazer.github.io/. That might be needed. Source: about 2 years ago

• New to linux, new to having pc, trying to connect everything..

  If none of the standard solution works, try https://openrazer.github.io. Source: over 2 years ago

• Steamdeck and Razer Tartarus v2 gamepad

  Only if you put windows on the Deck. As far as I know Synapse doesn't work using Wine/proton. There's OpenRazer, but I don't know if it's possible to install on the Deck. Source: over 2 years ago

• Alternatives for G502

  Openrazer: https://openrazer.github.io/ (also has list of supported devices) Razergenie: https://github.com/z3ntu/RazerGenie. Source: over 2 years ago

• My friend really hates RGB on his stuff.

  In that line, rivalcfg works wonders for steelseries mice (can be used on windows as well), openrazer for Razer peripherals, and piper (Gui frontend for libratbag) for Logitech and some other brand mice. Source: over 2 years ago

• Keyboard bindings for dummies?

  Looks like your best option is probably to pick up both of these: Https://openrazer.github.io/ Which points out this as a dependency for remapping: Https://github.com/sezanzeb/input-remapper/. Source: over 2 years ago

• Problem Installing OpenRazer; bookwork Release Issue

  I'm trying to install OpenRazer to utilize Polychromatic and come into a problem that says:. Source: over 2 years ago

• Mobile Steam Deck Setup is almost Complete

  Could always try this. Don't know if it'll work since I know synapse isn't compatible with Linux Https://openrazer.github.io/. Source: over 2 years ago

• How does Razer lighting work on the steamdeck?

  Your main option is the openrazer drivers, but as I see it doesn't support this specific mouse at the moment. You can take a look at the openrazer site, they have all other devices and other things listed there. Source: over 2 years ago

• recommendations for a beginner-intermediate difficulty distro based on my needs?

  There are Linux drivers for the Razer Synapse, although distribution support may vary by a lot. Source: over 2 years ago

• RGB keyboard with individual key lights

  Go to OpenRGB site and check supported devices and choose something from there, or if you prefer Razer products go to OpenRazer and also check for supported Razer peripherals. Source: over 2 years ago

• Noticeable input difference when gaming on Linux

  I think this could have something to do with your keyboard's polling rate. If the polling rate is being software-managed by some blobby razer driver on Windows, that driver is not present on Linux so it may be defaulting to 125hz instead of 500-1000hz. You could try this to check your configs on linux. I strongly doubt wine/proton could be causing your problem. Source: over 2 years ago

• Linux has compatibility issues, Windows is fucking trash, what am i supposed to do ?

  Aside from that, there's this https://openrazer.github.io/ which provides linux drivers for a whole bunch of different Razer hardware. Source: over 2 years ago

• Have an update for linux kernal 3.4.0... What is going on here??

  Discovered when putting the update package onto the blacklist. Seems it's part of a PPA package base for my gaming mouse (openrazer). Source: almost 3 years ago

• I was in a stream and I realized what is still lacking from Linux Gaming to be mainstream

  Mice and keyboards the same thing with lacking support, I've found ckb-next to work very well for my Corsair Scimitar, rivalctl kinda works for my Steelseries Rival 700. I don't have any Corsair, Razer or similar keyboards, but I know there is some software for Razer at least and ckb-next works with a lot of Corsair boards. Source: almost 3 years ago

• Razer Synapse mouse software

  Razer does not officially support linux systems... You can find community fixes, like openrazer. https://openrazer.github.io/. Source: almost 3 years ago
