Let me guess, I need to log into my Razer cloud account or it reverts to default settings.

Feels good to have never owned a razer (or logitech) product

As far back as I can remember razer has had the reputation of expensive unreliable junk that breaks down. Not sure if they’ve improved in reliability but it’s why I always stayed away from their products.

I don’t understand the appeal of most of their products, but I do love their blade laptop lineup. There are few viable laptop competitors with the quality build and integrated gpu (AI/ML stuff rather than gaming for me).

I seriously do not understand PC gamer obsession with light and color pollution. Unnecessary lights are so fucking obnoxious to begin with, why optionally add MORE that don’t do anything?
Like super cool looking light up PC’s. I don’t get it beyond showing off. I’m looking at my SCREEN! Not the dock or the tower. Why the fuck would I want these distracting colors flying around polluting my space?
Ridiculous. My stuff has always been minimal lights, tape over other lights, black, inconspicuous as possible. Function over looks.

The plus side of RGB is that you can control it at least. So set it to white or some other soft colour (or turn it off completely), which is at least an improvement over blinding blue LEDs. Of course, the software and driver support on Linux isn’t perfect.
In any case, the gaudy stuff sells, so that’s how they advertise it.

There’s a massive difference between rainbow vomit RGB and using a more tasteful soft colors pallette. Ultimately just do what pleases you though! It’s your shit, if you bought 16.8 million colors you’re free to use every last one lol.

I was buying a PC case and was surprised to find out it’s actually not trivial to find one without a transparent side panel.
I don’t want to see the inside of my PC, ideally it should be hidden away as much as possible. My ideal setup would be to have the tower in a separate room with cables going through a wall so that only peripherals are anywhere near my desk.
callouscomic@lemm.ee 1 week ago
Agreed. Been through the same issue and especially last time I built a pc I noticed this. Finding basic stuff that doesn’t have unnecessary components like glass or excess lights is difficult, much less in a size/shape/configuration that functionally works for what I want to do.
The visual aesthetics pc gamers are obsessed with have steered the supply and made it literally harder for those of us that don’t care about all that.

Bit late and way more expensive than either of the docks I actually own. In fact I own two docks and together they cost less than $80.

But do they have COLORS?
atrielienz@lemmy.world 1 week ago
Yes actually. I wish they did not.
Bosht@lemmy.world 1 week ago
Plus they’re way ahead on the enshittification curve. I wouldn’t trust anything from them at this point.
turbowafflz@lemmy.world 1 week ago
I wonder if this means they’ll release a linux version of their software so the steam deck can control the RGB
andrew_bidlaw@sh.itjust.works 1 week ago
and the RGB lighting is customizable via a dedicated hardware button so no need for extra software.
From the article. It seems they completely avoided that question.

That would be really nice, I hate how most mouse/keyboard brands don’t offer Linux configuration software.
TastyWheat@lemmy.world 1 week ago
They can fucking keep it.

15 bucks on Aliexpress lol

Wouldn’t it cover the vents on the back of the Steam Deck and cause it to overheat? Also, does it come with an AC adapter?
Fubarberry@sopuli.xyz 6 days ago
Charger is unclear, but I think it fits come included.
The vents are a real concern. They intend for this stand to work with multiple devices, so it’s very possible it will block the vents on some.

Wonder if supports CEC like the Steam Dock
Fubarberry@sopuli.xyz 1 week ago
As far as I know, only the official dock supports CEC. If anyone knows of a different dock that supports it I hope they’ll let me know
Midnitte@beehaw.org 1 week ago
Indeed, but since they’re trying to be competitive on price here, I wonder if they’re competitive on features…

USB A in 2025 😭
Fubarberry@sopuli.xyz 1 week ago
So far most controller/mouse/keyboard dongles seem to still be usb-A, so I’m not super against that.

Average Razer experience. Fuck that.

Sounds like you’ve never heard of open razor before

Sanctus@lemmy.world 1 week ago
I haven’t. Thats dope. My current mouse needs no app.tho, and my keyboards use QMK.
Sciaphobia@lemm.ee 1 week ago
Even without that Razer’s quality control is dog shit.

where did you find that text snippet?

Not sure if serious

It mostly is.
