I have Razer Mamba - Chroma Ergonomic Gaming Mouse wireless, so the visualizer only work when it is connected to the cable, not work when is connected to the dock, it would be better if work with dock.
Chroma SDK does not support wireless mode on the wireless devices, apparently due to bandwidth limitations. Only wired mode is supported. Take it up with Razer as it's out of my domain.

@CalcProgrammer1 Just wondering, do I have to burn the bootloader onto the chip since it's brand new? I tried that using 'Board: Arduino Nano', 'Processor: ATmega328', 'Port: COM3' and 'Programmer: Arduino as ISP' but it told me there was a problem uploading to board. Was I meant to do that, and are they the right settings if so? Would I then just upload the .ino after doing that? Sorry for the noob questions! Edit: For reference if I try to upload it, it says the following: fatal error: Adafruit_NeoPixel.h: No such file or directory #include <Adafruit_NeoPixel.h> ^ compilation terminated."

Most Arduinos come with the bootloader already loaded so you shouldn't need that step. You may have to install the neopixel library yourself depending on your Arduino software version.

@CalcProgrammer1 Got it, thanks for the quick reply. I'll try and wire it up in the next few days - Just wondering, do I need a 5v DC power supply? I saw a diagram and they wired it up using that connected to both the chip and the strip

I was able to run my 30 LED strip off of the USB 5V supply just fine. It's pushing the limit though, as I think it was over 500mA at full brightness white when I tested with my bench power supply. If you have issues with color distortion when bright or resets then you may try adding an external power supply. The 5V pin on the Arduino provides the USB supply when operating from a USB port.

I recall encountering this issue a few months ago! :eek_: By any chance, is your amplitude in the audio visualizer not set? If not, try setting it to 200 and see if it works.
Tried that already, didn't work. It doesn't seem to interact with the keyboard at all.

im using the deathstalker chroma, and it works, but the audio is coming from the left side to the right side, not starting at the bottom ,going to the top, like in the video. any way to fix this?

Nope, that's how the DeathStalker works. It only has 6 lighting zones so it can't do the spectrograph effect.

Hi, I was using the Visulaizer earlier today and it was working fine. Then when I went to turn on my computer it wasn't working. It showed in the program that it was working with the sound but my keyboard and mouse wasn't doing anything! Anyone know how to fix?

Go onto Razer Synapse and turn on 'CHROMA APPS'. Hope that helps! :P

Look up WS2812B strips on eBay and get one with 30 LEDs. As for the Arduino any standard 16MHz Arduino will work, including the cheap eBay clones. I'm running my strip off a cheap eBay CH340G based Nano clone. Programming is easy, in my GitHub link I have an Arduino sketch you can program using the Arduino software so you don't actually have to write any code yourself. Make sure you remember what COM port your Arduino shows up as and then add it to the command line parameters like ledstrip=COM1. You can add multiple COM ports if you have more than one Arduino strip connected. Right now it's limited to 30 LED strips only, any more and only the first 30 will work and any less and the pattern won't be symmetrical. Also all the other command line options are broken on 1.13 so I need to post a new build to fix this.
Going back to your original post, I have wired them up - What should I do now to get them to work? I have the visualizer open and playing music, do I need to create some sort of batch file/executable? I have uploaded the .ino file to the arduino, unless there's something on there that needs changing

You need build 1.13 (have the code for 1.14 ready that fixes the command line but haven't posted it yet). Then find the COM port of your Arduino and make a shortcut to 1.13. Add ledstrip=COMX (putting the correct number of your COM port for COMX) to the end of the Target field and then launch the program using the shortcut. The Tx LED on the Arduino will blink rapidly if it's working.

Absolutely loving the (new) update! I just realised that I owned the old version of the visualiser and updated. Thanks for the colour wheel - that's my favourite ;)

Hmm, rather strange. I did all that, and nothing happened. Now randomly the first LED has come on and is a solid green colour, but it stays that way even when the program is closed, and the other LEDs aren't lit Edit: Now the first 8 have come on: Green, purple, red, green, blue, red, purple, green, very weird!

I just tried it and none of the chroma apps work, even if they are enabled.

Are you saying this is ampossible to work, or is there a chance. The strafe is not 200$, but the k70 is, so I would like to save money, and have this amazing program. Also I do know myself just a bit on programming, and the differences between these keyboards, I dont need a review. Is there any way you could make this program work with the strafe without the keyboard, or maybe borrow it. I would like this program, I set it up on my friends blackwidow, and it was beast. I want that same effect.

on my deathstalker chroma, the lights move from left to right ini one fat bar, instead of smaller bars and turned like on the video, is this because the less advanced chroma stuff or did i do something wrong?

Look at this video I made: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ADjqh90VrvM Also I just posted 1.14 on GitHub, it fixes the command line and also has LED strip support. Still waiting to hear back from Mark about getting a Blade Stealth discount, but he said he will probably be able to get me one. If so then I'll definitely be getting one and adding support in my visualizer. If you're having issues with devices not responding, this is an SDK issue. The best thing to do is to uninstall Synapse and SDK and reinstall them from scratch with the latest installer from Razer's site. Make sure to reboot after uninstalling before you install it again.

Ordered my Blade Stealth last night, though they are backordered so I should hopefully have it by the end of March. Edit: Never mind, Mark did his magic and I'll have it tomorrow!
