PeriHub 0.8.2

PeriHub 0.8.2 adds lighting for Razer mice. It comes from facts found in OpenRazer (no code copied), not from a test on a real mouse: nobody has tried it with PeriHub yet. If you have a Razer mouse, a test report makes it tested for everyone who has it.

Razer lighting

All with the mouse's USB cable.

	Mice	How
Brightness of each light (logo, scroll wheel, sides, backlight)	47 of the 75 Razer mice	Save to memory, at your own risk: the No warranty box the first time, a backup, a read-back, and the old value put back after 15 seconds unless you keep the change
One colour, not saved	27 of them	Send: sent the way OpenRazer draws its custom colour, without saving it to the mouse

• These mice cannot report the lighting effect they are using, so PeriHub cannot show it, check the colour or put the effect from before back. The page says so next to the colour. Nobody has checked yet how long the colour lasts, or which lights it covers on each mouse.
• PeriHub never stores a lighting effect on them: a stored effect is refused before it leaves PeriHub.
• Which mice have what is in docs/devices.md, and the protocol in docs/protocols/razer-mice.md.

Also new

• Windows updates without the installer's window: PeriHub closes, installs the update silently and opens again by itself, then says which version it was updated to. This starts with the update after this one, since the version being replaced runs the installer: updating to 0.8.2 still shows the small installer window.

Help test your device

On the mouse's page, Copy test report or Open test form: the device test form asks what worked. Sending a report only reads the mouse.

Updating

• Windows, installed from this page: PeriHub offers the update in the tray menu and in Settings → Updates.
• Windows with Scoop: scoop update perihub, once the bucket has the new version.
• Linux: download the new file and install it as before. The udev rule has not changed.

Which file to download

System	File
Windows 10/11	PeriHub_0.8.2_x64-setup.exe (recommended) or PeriHub_0.8.2_x64_en-US.msi
Debian/Ubuntu	PeriHub_0.8.2_amd64.deb (smaller, recommended)
Fedora/openSUSE	PeriHub-0.8.2-1.x86_64.rpm (smaller, recommended)
Linux, any distribution with Flatpak	PeriHub_0.8.2_x86_64.flatpak
Linux, any distribution (including Arch/CachyOS)	PeriHub_0.8.2_amd64.AppImage

• Windows: the installer is not code-signed yet (PeriHub has applied to SignPath Foundation). If SmartScreen blocks it, click More info → Run anyway. Quit the maker's app (Razer Synapse, Logitech G HUB, SteelSeries GG and the others) before using PeriHub with its devices: two programs talking to the same device get in each other's way.
• Linux with the AppImage or the Flatpak: if you see "permission denied", install the udev rule.
• The .sig files and latest.json are used by the Windows updater.

Full details are in the CHANGELOG.
