razer-macos VS polychromatic

Are Macs still unsupported by Razer's software? Do you still need to use https://github.com/1kc/razer-macos to configure the hardware?

Seems like the Viper Ultimate (v1) has some issues with MacOS, but a lot of people linked this github thing (I don’t know if it’s safe aha) that lets you customize your Razer products: https://github.com/1kc/razer-macos

That’s supported now on razer for mac os https://github.com/1kc/razer-macos/releases

https://github.com/1kc/razer-macos (discussion here)

You can only use 3rd party app called Razer macOS: https://github.com/1kc/razer-macos

For openrazer to function easily, you need additional software. I’ve used Polychromatic.

I'm trying to install OpenRazer to utilize Polychromatic and come into a problem that says:

Install frontend : https://polychromatic.app

I've tried multiple different brands of keyboards and mice and all of them worked well with Linux, often even if Linux wasn't advertised on the box (I wouldn't bet on that though). More well known brands have better support e.g. Razer has OpenRazer and Polychromatic

I re-installed open-razer on Ubuntu and also installed Polychromatic.

The irony is that razer has some of the best software as long as you are not using windows. The community maintained openrazer drivers on Linux work great. https://polychromatic.app/
