I don't use Windows anymore, nor do I own the laptop this was developed for anymore. Please fork if you wish to continue development :)

An open source, lightweight customization software for your Razer Blade.

Should work on every Blade laptop currently avaliable. You can also add support for other Razer keyboards via the devices.csv file.

I love my Blade, but I dislike Synapse. Bloated, needs Internet access, and looks like something a 13 year old would design, in my opinion. Knife aims to be something that your grandpa would design - small, gets the job done and out of your face afterwards.

Knife uses 4.4MB RAM when running, and no visible levels of CPU.

First, we need to change the USB driver to WinUSB, since that's easy to work with. I recommend using Zadig (https://zadig.akeo.ie/).

Change the driver of the Razer Device (Interface 2 on my Blade 2018 Advanced) to WinUSB, by clicking "Install Driver". You may need to enable "List all devices" in the Zadig options first. It should look like this afterwards (note that I already changed to WinUSB for this screenshot):

Then simply download the source and compile yourself, or grab a precompiled release (link). The zip contains two files (and exe and a dll), unpack both into the same directory. Run the exe. Done. Does not need any administrator privileges.

Please be advised that you need to revert this process for Synapse to work again. Simply uninstall the Razer device in device manager, and tick the "Remove driver software" box when doing so.

This project stands on the shoulder of giants. I want to thank Openrazer for the initial idea, and a chap named @rsandoz for a lot of the headway into making Openrazer work on windows. I just hacked together both of their approaches into an easy to use DLL and GUI which runs on windows.

Have fun!
