One problem Linux continues to have is no official app support from hardware vendors, so it's good to see the community continue building for us. If you have a Razer device, check out the new release of RazerGenie.
Built using OpenRazer it works with a lot of Razer hardware.
Version 1.2.0 is out now and brings these changes:
- Introduce tab layout for different device settings.
- Add support for the 'wheel' effect.
- Add display/controls for battery percent, charging status, idle time and low battery threshold.
- Add percentage display to brightness slider.
- Implement UI for DPI stages.
- Set minimum value for DPI slider & spinbox.
- Hide DPI Y elements when Lock X/Y is enabled.
- Snap the DPI Y value to the current X value if the box was checked.
- Invert 'auto-start daemon on startup' setting.
- Add Bulgarian and Esperanto translation.
- Support translations for strings from libopenrazer.
See more about it on the GitHub page.

Good progress, but still dreaming about the day when their analog switches are supported.

Not a Razor user anymore due to bad experience, and I personally don't see it as a problem that Razor doesn't make software for Linux. Quite the opposite actually, as it would most likely be some bloated 200MB Electron app that phones home and requires an account to use.
Best thing HW vendors can do is just providing specs/documentation so the community doesn't have to do reverse engineering.

In case you are looking for a way to rebind keys on your Razer (or any) devices, I would like to again suggest "input-remapper", available on Github ( https://github.com/sezanzeb/input-remapper ) and Ubuntu repositories. Just about ANY USB device can have an input remapped to any key able to be found on a keyboard, with macro capabilites if you wish. There is plenty of readme material on the Github page to help you sort things out if you are trying macros or functions that are not working as you wish.
