You know, now I'm thinking it doesn't matter since Synapse 4 doesn't even work anyway. My sensitivity clutch takes 30 seconds to activate and then to deactivate when I press it for five seconds. So it's pointless to even have this stupid thing now.

I recently bought some stuf (blackwidow v4 lowprofile hyperspeed, cobra hyperspeed, kraken v4 hyperspeed and leviathan v2).

 

Then after real windows issues not related to razer, i moved to linux.

 

But on linux, no light control, no battery level, ……… just basic functionnalities without synapse v4 support.

 

Please hear our voices.

 


Joining the chorus of pleas here.  I dumped Windows for Linux last year.  THE ONLY THING I’m having trouble with is rebinding the side button on my Razer Naga.  Synapse doesn’t run on Linux.  The only solution I have found is to find a Windows computer JUST TO REBIND MY KEYS.

I have owned so many Razer mice.  For over a decade.  This is forcing me to find a mouse that will actually work in Linux.

 

How hard can it be to just give us the same thing you give Mac users?

Made an account just now for the sole purpose of bumping and replying to this thread, I was gonna very happily buy a basilisk V3 pro 35k with my money but if all that cash isn't letting me use the software which is apparently so important then I'm not gonna get it. Last thing I do is wanna use windows, don't want the bloatware, ai slop, lag, or support microslop, I know that razer very much likes money and not supporting Linux is very much costing you money, time ticks by and that's all lost revenue both to people deciding to not start to use razer, or switching from it and not looking back. To anyone reading this, remember to vote on products with your money. If it doesn't respect the consumer then it isnt worth your money :P

Linux user here - I agree wholeheartedly that Razer should offer native Linux support. I use Linux as a secondary daily driver when Windows isn’t an option. We need to be able to use our stuff on our Linux machines without inferior third-party tools.

How has this not already happened? 😅
Came here to throw in my voice to the chorus.
Razer - do something ^^

I’m moving over to Linux now and it’s sad to see no native support.

You could support linux by making your own flatpak or appimage or better yet support all the destros by making .deb .rpm etc….

Driver support can be done by contributing to the kernel.

Synapse 4 App and kernel is all you need. You have open drivers already you just need to go all in on hiring a maintainer to push it to the full kernel instead of those packaged drivers.
