There is currently no official driver for the Razer gaming mice in Linux. However, Michael Buesch has created a tool called razercfg to configure Razer mice under Linux.
Contents
Compatibility
razercfg lists the following mice models as stable:
- Razer DeathAdder Classic
- Razer DeathAdder 3500 DPI
- Razer DeathAdder Black Edition
- Razer Krait
- Razer Naga
and the following as stable but missing minor features:
- Razer Lachesis
- Razer Copperhead
- Razer Boomslang CE
Installation
Download and install razercfgAUR or razercfg-gitAUR for bleeding edge git releases from the AUR.
After installing with pacman add the razerd daemon
# systemctl enable razerd.service
to start up at launch with.
You also need to edit your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file to disable the current mouse settings. I just commented them out then set some defaults as suggested by the author:
/etc/xorg.conf
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
EndSection
It is important to only have Mouse and not Mouse# listed in xorg.conf.
For Python 3 users
If you have python 3 set as your default version then you will have to make a simple change to the source code of the two utilities. You can check by typing the following command$ python -VIf it returns python 2.X then you can skip this section. If it returns python 3.X then change the first line of both files
/usr/bin/razercfg and /usr/bin/qrazercfg to the following: #!/usr/bin/env python2
Final touches
Retart the computer then enter:
# udevadm control --reload-rules
To start the daemon, type:
# systemctl start razerd.service
If you did everything correctly, you shouldn't get errors.
Using the Razer Configuration Tool
There are two commands you can use, one for the command line tool razercfg or the Qt-based GUI tool qrazercfg.
From the tool you can use the 5 profiles, change the DPI, change mouse frequency, enable and disable the scroll and logo lights and configure the buttons.
Bugs
Everytime I restart, my Razer Lachesis is brought back to 500 DPI. Not that cruicial as I just open the Razer Configuration Tool and set it to 4000 DPI and all is good. I've e-mailed him on this issue and am waiting on a reply.
