Razer Cynosa Chroma Linux issues...

Hi all. I had been succesfully using my Cynosa Chroma on Manjaro for 3 years. Arch can be a fickle build, so I changed OS to EndeavourOS. (still Arch-based, but supposedly better for games)

 

While this question may better be directed to the openrazer folks, I thought I’d give it a shot here first. 

The OS is seeing both my wireless mouse, Logitech M570 AND the Chroma as a pointing peripheral. 

xinput shows the keyboard attached to the keyboard part, but the mouse and the keyboard on the mouse section. 

The mouse system control panel shows both devices as enabled, but the keyboard doesn’t show anything at all except the generic keyboard. 

If I disable the keyboard in the mouse settings, it disables the keyboard completely. 

So because I can’t access the keyboard settings, I don’t know if my keyboard is EN-Australia or EN-US.

(One of the games I play isn’t working right mouse-wise, and my GoogleFu shows that a mis-match on the keyboard layout can cause mouse issues) 

 

So my help request is kind of simple, yet complicated. 

 

  1. Can I run the keyboard without the openrazer drivers, as I’m not worried about the keyboard light colours changing. (I’ve been using the regular random color fade without setting it up.)
  2. Could the mismatch in the system cause conflicts with input from both devices?
  3. The combo works just fine everywhere else, but I’m not quitting the game. “Star Citizen” if you must know…
  4. It’s probably 99.9% the driver causing the conflict, but I’m looking at hardware first and foremost. 

If anyone has a clue, solution or recommendation, please feel free to respond. 

Thanks!
