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. See your device manual for specific instructions on how to switch profiles.
Q: Menu says "No device found".
A: Use the "Refresh Device List" option.
Q: How do I customize and rebind keys?

Ongoing new device support will be provided on a volunteer contribution basis, as it is difficult for someone who does not own the physical devices to be adding support and conducting tests.
git clone --recursive https://github.com/1kc/razer-macos.git
Ensure xcode command line tools are installed,
If you have a paid Apple Developer account, edit release.sh
with your details.
Afterwards, to automatically build, sign, and/or notarize (if applicable,) run in Terminal: ./release.sh
Ad-hoc signing will be used if account information is left empty.
Or build manually:
Install node package dependencies:
yarn
Run development server:
yarn dev
During development, every time the driver code has been updated, a rebuild is required:
yarn rebuild
For building a distribution ready app and dmg:
yarn dist
Sign the universal package before moving to /Applications folder with ad-hoc signing:
codesign -s - --deep --force ./dist/mac-universal/Razer\ macOS.app
Project includes both hardware drivers and user interface.
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 user interface. The C driver is exposed as a native Node.js addon using node-addon-api, which gets invoked by Electron at runtime to send packets to devices.
Adding support for new peripherals types requires porting from the openrazer project. See wiki.
