A tool to configure the Razer DeathAdder v2 and save the settings in the on-board memory.

I just wanted static color without having to run in the background 2-3 apps and 6 services that come with Synapse. Although the device supports it, for some reason Razer's driver does not save the color in the on-board memory. As a result, you need to keep running Synapse and co. or the mouse goes back to those wave effects that I don't like as they keep catching my eye when typing or reading.

Device protocol has been largely ported from openrazer (except for DPI stages which I didn't find in openrazer). GUI mostly built using native-windows-gui.

So far, it supports the following (all saved on the device, including the color):

• DPI and DPI stages
• Polling rate
• Static logo and scroll wheel color
• Logo and scroll wheel brightness

It doesn't support:

• Wave/breath/spectrum effects

• Profiles

  • I believe they're emulated by Synapse and not really supported by the hardware, otherwise I'd be glad to implement them

• Other devices

This is not supposed to be for Linux hosts. If you are on Linux, see openrazer, it's a great project, and supports many more features, as well as almost all devices.

For Windows users, the only requirement is to be using the libusb driver (either WinUSB or libusb-win32). One way to install it is using Zadig. You only need to do this once. Change the entry "Razer DeathAdder V2 (Interface 3)" by using the spinner to select either "WinUSB (vXXX)" (recommended) or "libusb-win32 (vX.Y.Z)" and hit "Replace driver". In my case (Win11) it seemed to time out while creating a restore point but it actually installed it.

The UI should be self-explanatory. No need to keep it running in the background.

Contrary to all other settings, I have not found a way to retrieve the current color from the device so the app will save the last applied color to a file under %APPDATA%/deathadder/config/default-config.toml, just so it doesn't reset every time it opens.
