For a Mint 18.1 system, simply type at a shell: $ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:terrz/razerutils $ sudo apt update $ sudo apt install python3-razer razer-kernel-modules-dkms razer-daemon razer-doc And more devices are being added on a regular basis.

Razer Drivers for Linux is a collection of open source drivers and a user-space daemon. Fortunately, there are 2 projects, employing reverse-engineering techniques, which have developed their own open source drivers and supporting configuration software. OK for a general user, but lamentable for any gamer. With the generic HID input driver, we can merely control acceleration and sensitivity. Sadly there’s no prospect of Razer Synapse being ported to Linux. The software offers a slew of functionality including profiles, macros, stats with heat-maps, lighting effects, calibration, the list goes on and on. Razer has developed configuration software, Razer Synapse, to let gamers configure their peripherals. This mouse is equipped with a 10,000 DPI optical sensor, 5 programmable buttons, and adjustable LED lighting. I’ll use the DeathAdder Chroma to illustrate the position and set out what options are available for Linux users. And open source developers are endeavouring to fill the void. For mice and keyboards, the generic HID input driver on Linux provides basic support. In general, Razer peripherals work with Linux. Don’t think the Linux Corner, a section of their website that discusses open-source compatibility on Razer systems, suggests imminent official support. There’s no official support, and nothing on the horizon.
