I have a couple Razer Chroma devices and a couple regular Razer devices (2 mice, 1 keyboard, 1 mouse pad). If it matters I can give specifics.

I want to switch to Linux as I hate the imbued marketing drive in Win10 despite being a good overall gaming platform. There are of course a lot of little considerations in actually making the switch.

Since there is no native Linux support for Razer Synapse, what will I be losing in using a bunch of Razer products in Linux? Razer has some amount of on-device storage as well as cloud syncing.

Primary concerns:

  • Will color profiles persist? (Chroma only)
  • Will DPI settings persist?
  • Will the "Turn off device lights when displays are off" setting persist?

Secondary concerns:

  • Will button configurations persist?
  • Will macros persist?

From what I can tell, the color settings and DPI settings are handled entirely in the mouse, while the other mentioned settings are handled by the drivers on Windows.

That being said, I was only able to test this out using a single mouse (a Razer DeathAdder Chroma). I suppose it is possible that other devices handle their settings differently.

You can't do the keyboard on a virtual machine either because the virtual machine can only recognize hardware on the system, not software.
