Both the OpenRazer driver and Polychromatic app for users have seen upgrades in the last few days to bring improved Razer device support to Linux. Not supported directly by Razer though, this continues to be a community effort.

On the driver side OpenRazer v3.10.1 was released with these changes:

A (mostly) bugfix release, mostly to fix #2403 which broke our persistence feature for some devices due to a serial number check that was too strict.

New devices

  • Add support for Razer Huntsman V3 Pro.
  • Add support for Razer Blade 15 Base (Late 2020).
  • Add support for Razer Kraken Kitty V2.

Bug fixes, improvements, cleanup, etc

  • daemon: Relax serial number check a bit.
  • daemon: Fix event file path for Razer DeathStalker V2 Pro TKL.
  • driver: Clean up razerkraken_driver.h device definitions.

Then we also have the Polychromatic app that's powered by OpenRazer, making it easy for you to actually then manage your devices. This project saw its v0.9.4 release too with these improvements:

  • Fix playback loop skipping over the first frame while in the editor (#541).
  • Improve DPI presentation for very high DPI devices (#535).
  • Troubleshooter: Improve detection when Python library fails to load.
  • Improve quality of build scripts (#537 by @xgqt, @eli-schwartz).
