Polychromatic VS ckb-next

I've tried multiple different brands of keyboards and mice and all of them worked well with Linux, often even if Linux wasn't advertised on the box (I wouldn't bet on that though). More well known brands have better support e.g. Razer has OpenRazer and Polychromatic. Source: almost 2 years ago

I re-installed open-razer on Ubuntu and also installed Polychromatic. Source: almost 2 years ago

Some apps are still using appindicator like Polychromatic (https://github.com/polychromatic/polychromatic) and it's a buggy mess. I hope this time they make something good and not something totally crap that is going to be a problem for the next few years that a new crew will have to fix. Source: about 2 years ago

I installed OpenRazer driver and Polychromatic. Also I see this maybe related issue. Source: over 2 years ago

EDIT: Realized that one is unmaintainted, so here’s a maintained one: https://github.com/ckb-next/ckb-next. Source: 7 months ago

There is unofficial software written for Linux to interact with the corsair keyboards, like the k95. https://github.com/ckb-next/ckb-next. Source: 11 months ago

You can control corsair keyboard rgb with https://github.com/ckb-next/ckb-next. Works fine on my ancient strafe keyboard and the assorted corsair mice I've used. Source: about 1 year ago

Not sure. I use ckb-next which is for linux and only supports corsair devices as I have corsair ram and peripherals. I never really had any luck with openrgb tbh. Source: about 1 year ago

Ckb-next is for Corsair devices, and mostly is for RGB, but does offer mouse button configuration. I use this one with my M65 Elite as it also configures DPI level settings and other items, as well as per-led lighting. Source: about 1 year ago
