RAZER Barracuda X Chroma

Aurora-RGB/Aurora#261

Hi,
Sorry, I didn’t realize there was a separate repository for device integration.
I hope the information I provided in the Aurora GitHub issue is enough to help with the integration of the Razer Barracuda X Chroma headset.

If I can assist in any way (testing, logs, etc.), I’d be happy to help!

Also, thank you so much for your work — in a world where there’s no RGB standard and every brand pushes its own bloated software. 🙏

Detection is not an issue (will add it later) but I guess it wont work that nice as headsets are limited to 5 leds.
Is there a new SDK with Synapse 4?

Yes this headset has 6 LED, and I'm not sure if that would be a problem. Maybe one LED would stay off, or maybe a custom_headset.json layout could handle all six properly.

Regarding Synapse 4, it appears to use the same SDK. I did a clean reinstall of Windows and only installed Synapse 4, and everything works fine with the Chroma SDK apps:

My guess is that Razer didn’t want to break compatibility with games that already integrate Chroma, so the SDK was probably updated incrementally (adding features but not breaking anything).

Honestly I don't think they'll do anything with the SDK. Like most vendors they seem to just keep it somehow alive but don't care about it at all.
If they really add new stuff / increase limits for new devices or something like this, let me know and if possible provide the header-files they release. (I don't have any razer devices and they only distribute stuff through synapse so I can't really keep up with what they're doing)
Anyway, as soon as aurora updates the lib it should be detected, how well it works needs to be tested.

The SDK is still alive, but maintained by a open source project called Wyvrn. This team also develop tool for Unity and Unreal Engine to help developer to implement Chroma in games.

In any case thank you !

Hello,

I come to give you a feedback 👍
Because the Razer SDK and Aurora Layout is only able to control 5 LED and this Headset has 6, all led are controlled through the SDK with the LED1 API message.
That's what I saw in Aurora, and what I finally tested with a quickly made C# script.

The revision 330 of Aurora can then handle properly the headset with 1LED.
Thank you !!!
