## 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.

[View Supported Devices](https://polychromatic.app/devices/)

## 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](https://docs.polychromatic.app/openrazer/#my-device-is-showing-up-as-unrecognised)

if your device is not showing up or shows an error when changing settings.
