Goodies Blade Control: a free, open-source Synapse alternative for Razer Blade laptops

Post image
41 Upvotes

The first version (0.1.0) was a portable control center for Razer Blade laptops that required neither Synapse nor any installation. It offered Silent, Balanced, and Custom modes, with specific settings for each power source that switched automatically when the device was plugged in or unplugged. It also managed keyboard and logo lighting, display refresh rates and color profiles, and allowed for the disabling of the dedicated GPU. It displayed battery status and health, included tools for freeing up memory and cleaning the system, and featured a dashboard with device information and temperature readings. It resided in the system tray and was available in both English and Spanish.

New in version (0.1.6)

Battery mode (activated when unplugged):

- Silent mode.

- Display set to 25% brightness and 60 Hz refresh rate.

- Keyboard lighting set to 20%.

- Windows power-saving mode enabled.

- Transparency and shadows disabled.

- Prompts to close applications that are keeping the NVIDIA GPU active.

(Everything reverts to its previous state when plugged back in.)

In-app updates:

- Automatically checks for new versions on GitHub; updates are downloaded, verified via SHA-256, and installed automatically (this feature can be disabled, or specific versions can be skipped).

- Performance modes accessible via the system tray menu.

- Faster startup: reduced from ~1.35 seconds to ~0.95 seconds.

- Minimized window (residing in the system tray): stops sensor polling and reduces RAM usage from ~300 MB to ~30 MB.

Interface details:

- New loading indicator with success and error states.

- Instant page transitions.

- Updated icons.

Work on V0.1.7 is already underway.

Rant Is the Razer Synapse Team Disabled or Vibe Coding?

Because I can't tell.

Once again they are breaking shit before even sending it out to the wild and disabling the ability to turn off auto updates is a scummy move.

Tips Opening the Razer USB-C dock

My USB-C dock was in my backpack when the whole bag got drenched in the rain . The USB dock was in a puddle of water and well water seems to constantly kept coming out of it. So I decided to open it up to dry it . Was hard.

It seems that the 2 ends are caped with a plastic that has a locking mechanism but it definitely cannot be accessed from sides so I use my method of destroying it.

The dock work fine now and I will be Designing 2 end caps from my printer and maybe anodize the body of the dock.

Can the Taratarus V2 work on Mint Linux?
This has been a joke…..

I tried to return it in 2020, Razer basically ignored by emails for months….
Replied…. Didn’t reply for months… gave a partial refund… said to keep it… throw it away… don’t care.

So, “keep it”,
I’m trying to use this finally (only got partial refund),
So… trying to use it again… the suggested software… dosnt work right

Question 2026 Razer Blade 16 5090 gets stuck at 60fps anytime my pc goes to sleep now?

1 Upvotes

Solutions? it happens all the time and when I load up a game it sticks to a hard 60fps doesn't matter if I kill the razer app mid-game to help resolve it. Same goes for unplugging and re-plugging in the laptop to see if the screen will reset itself.

I still want my battery life to be 7+ hours when unplugged, but when plugged in I'm not sure why this is a problem with the performance of refresh rate.

And on a totally different note I really hate when I disable the track-pad and shut off my computer my track-pad is still disabled. How do I get that to reset back to normal each time I have it disable prior to turning it off and on?

Question Charging the Raiju Pro V3?

1 Upvotes

Hello

This is not a support question but just a question as it's outside of the support and in the actualy about how to Effieciently use of the controller

I have just got the Raiju for my ps5 and it says use the cable provided which is okay and don't use a wall plug.

How can I charge them without leaving the ps5 in rest mode or having a pc on.

Could you use a phone charger adapter or an extension lead with USB ports in it.

Sorry if thisis a dumb question but I'd sooner leave the controller plugged into something other than the PS4 or laptop powered on all time.

Thanks for any advice.

Question Configurable Power delivery on Thunderbolt 5 Dock Chroma? (maybe feature request)

1 Upvotes

Hi all,

I have the following problem in my setup:

I have a new Naga v3 Pro together with a Mouse Dock Pro connected to the Dock.
Until now I have a global powerswitch, that disconnects the Laptops main power supply as well as the Thunderbolt Docks own powersupply. (Basically by switching of the sockets)
But since the Mouse Dock needs Power to charge the mouse, I now have to have the Dock allways connected.

The problem now is, that the Thunderbolt Dock is now also delivering power to my laptop while the laptops main power supply is off, and since I am one of those guys, who do not like leaving the laptop connected to a power supply and charging while I am not around, this is a problem for me.

Simple sollution is, to just unplug the Thunderbolt Dock from the laptop, but since I mainly use the laptop docked, I am not a big fan of this solution. (To much plugging and unplugging)

So my question is:

Is there a way, to configure the Dock to only deliver power via certain ports, so I can enable PD for the Mouse Dock, but disable it for the Laptop and other devices wich don´t need power while the PC is off?
If not, would it even possible to add such a feature in future updates?

Discussion Razer Kraken V4

1 Upvotes

I got a Razer Kraken V4 about six months ago and returned it yesterday. I wanted to know what your experiences were with this headset. Mine was a mixed bag.

On a technical level, especially compared to headsets I used in the past, it was beyond great. The audio and surround sound was really good, the audio settings gave a lot of room to play around and the overall sound was great. The mic was meh but that's a fairly common thing from what I've read. It's a headset mic what can you do.

However, I already said I returned it. This device is so horribly unreliable and strangely built. After about three or four months of use the extendable microphone at some point just refused to retract. Also a common issue as I've read. How is that even possible on a headset I paid 150€ for? (I'm aware the price dropped now)

I didn't think I'd need to oil up a gaming headset for it to work as advertised.

Additionally, the battery completely shit the bed now. It was already acting kind of strange on some days where my charge disappeared much faster than I thought was normal. I tried to use the thing a few days ago and the battery died within - I am not exaggerating here - minutes. There was no fix, there was nothing I could do. I fiddled around for a while until I gave up on the thing.

I'm baffled that a headset so expensive was made to be so unreliable. Of course I don't expect every single model they sell to have these issues. It's just strange.

Question Basilisk v4 pro white not connecting to dongle

0 Upvotes

Hello, I was hoping to get a solution to an issue im having. I just got the basilisk v4 pro white edition and I am having trouble connecting it to the dongle. The dongle shows up on synapse and click on it, it goes into multi device pairing and when i put my mouse in hyperspeed mode and start scanning for it to connect it does not connect and says that my mouse is either off or needs to be put in 2.4 mode when it is on and is in that mode. However it works with bluetooth but it lags a little on bluetooth so id prefer it be connected to the dongle. I never had this issue with my deathadder which is my last mouse. I would also like to add I comepletely removed my deathadder from my pc and it is not in my devices anymore and also removed the hidden devices that are grayed out in device manager. any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

Question Looking for a keyboard similar to my old Razer Ornata V2

Post image
0 Upvotes

I’ve been using this keyboard for over 6 years now, and it’s on its last legs unfortunately, some keys don’t work, the mat is ripping and so on.

I looked at the natural upgrade of the V3 and to be honest I felt it was a major downgrade to this. I especially hated the slim feeling it had to the V2, plus the pillow wasn’t even really a pillow.

Are there any keyboards that are similar to it, I.e not a slim keyboard, with a wrist pillow and scroll wheel for audio (admittedly not as important)? It also needs a Nordic language layout.

Any help is appreciated.
