Q: Selecting a colour setting has no effect on my keyboard

A: It is possible that a wrong on-board keyboard profile has been selected. Change to a different profile and try again.

Q: Menu says "No device found".

A: Plug your Razer device in and click "Refresh in the menu".

Ensure xcode command line tools are installed,

yarn

Project includes both hardware drivers and frontend UI.

Drivers are ported from the openrazer project for Linux. The goal is to support all devices from openrazer on macOS.

An Electron macOS menu bar app is used for the front-end. The C driver is exposed as a native Node.js addon using node-addon-api, which gets called by Electron.

Adding support for new peripherals types should be relatively simple. See wiki.

Builds on work done by these projects:

• openrazer
• osx-razer-blade
• osx-razer-led
