I wonder why it wants network access

I’ve looked through the repo and it seems to be used to check for the current OpenRazer version and to get a list of supported devices and download images of them from Razer servers.

Razer keyboard are pretty overpriced for what you get IMO, they’re better than they used to be but I would honestly consider alternatives first. Still if you’re considering Razer, check the compatibility chart before buying! https://polychromatic.app/devices/

i hadn’t occurred to me to use an alternative; are you aware of any linux compatible ones?

Keyboards in general? Or RGB keyboards? I think all keyboards work fine for core functionality. It depends on what you are looking for out of a “gaming” keyboard. The big makers mostly have alternative software to program rgb and re-keybinds for keys as far as I’ve seen. I know corsair has a good alt software for both binds and rgb, Razer obviously from this post, and I think steelseries has one but can’t remember off the top of my head

This is cool but I like OpenRGB better since it includes more than just specifically razer products

This also handles the device settings and open-razer driver, it’s more than just RBG control. I use it to set polling rate and DPI, my mouse doesn’t have rbg, either.

Anybody know of a program that would let me remap the keys on the razr naga? I’ve been using this to deal with the rgb, but would really like to edit the mouse button mappings (not averse to running a virtual machine to do it, if it’s one off, or maybe in bottles if that works).

Have you tried antimicrox I don’t have experience with that mouse in particular but it has worked for other mice

I start a windows virtual machine, could not find an alternative for Linux. I did find one for the corsair scimitar but as a mouse it did not last long enough. I’d like to try the Logitech g600 but it’s hard to find

Edit: yeah it’s one off for switching you don’t need to keep it running

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
