## 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.

## 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.
