RAZER BLACKWIDOW V3 on Linux

Hello. I am stuck on Linux with a BW v3 that is rotating colors like in a Christmas tree. Apart from that, the keyboard works well and I'm very happy. Of course, I connected it to a Windows machine to setup a static color, but alas, just unplugging it resets it to the rotating color mode. So I thought that I should have read the fine prints before buying the product. But no, there are no fine prints! the product page (https://www.razer.com/gaming-keyboards/razer-blackwidow-v3/RZ03-03540200-R3U1) doesn't mention needing windows or any kind of software. The user guide states "PRODUCT REQUIREMENTS: A PC with a free USB type A port". On the product support page (https://mysupport.razer.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/3827), there is a mention of needing software to record macro keys (which is wrong, macro can work without software), clearly leaving people to believe that for other things there is no software needed.

RAZER BW V3 on Linux

Hello I just bought a RAZER BLACKWIDOW V3 and it works like a charm. I am on Linux. Now I would like to setup a static color for the backlight, this rotating color default mode is driving me crazy. OpenRazer doesn't support this keyboard just yet and frankly, I don't care much for a crappy piece of software running 24/7 on my machine anyways. So I booted up an old Windows laptop and downloaded Synapse on it, plugged the keyboard, changed it to a static color and unplugged it, only to find that there is no way to make that setting sticky. No matter what I do on my laptop, when I plug it in my desktop PC, it's back to the cycling colors. Is there any way to define a static color and make the setting stick (save it to the keyboard) after the keyboard being disconnected ? Thanks.
