Polychromatic VS OpenRazer

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

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: 10 months ago

Why are you trying to run a setup.exe? For linux there's Open Razer. Source: 11 months ago

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: 11 months ago

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: 12 months ago

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 1 year ago
