Description

An interface for the RΛZΞR Chroma SDK.

Device can be any of: "keyboard", "mouse", "headset", "mousepad", "keypad" or "chromalink".

A special hybrid device called "chars" can be used to light up a key, setting its LED colour to -1 will show the keyboard colour instead.

An emulator for the Chroma devices can be downloaded from here: https://developer.razer.com/works-with-chroma/download/
