About

Polychromatic is a front-end for managing lighting, RGB effects and device properties for Razer keyboards, mice, keypads. This project has a long-term ambition to support peripherals from other brands too.

<!-- The software aims to make it easy to create and co-ordinate lighting effects that work across all compatible hardware, even if you switch to another brand also supported by Polychromatic. Presets and triggers enables you to switch your lighting on-the-fly to match the application or game that's currently playing. -->

Device Support

Polychromatic on its own is just a frontend, it currently needs OpenRazer installed to provide the actual communication with the hardware. Both projects only run on Linux distributions.

Download

Instructions for each supported Linux distro are provided on the website:

Installing packages from a software repository is recommended as this will keep the software up-to-date, and your package system will keep track of dependencies.

Something not working?

Occasionally, issues are caused by an improper OpenRazer driver installation. Polychromatic includes a troubleshooter to identify common problems. See our FAQs on OpenRazer if your device is not showing up or shows an error when changing settings.
