Where Does OpenRazer Store Device State?
OpenRazer device state on Linux, daemon database plus frontend profiles.
Last updated
OpenRazer stores per device effects and settings in its daemon database with frontends adding their own profiles. The daemon applies state at start and on resume.
Stop the daemon before copying databases between machines. Device support varies by product ID. Frontends reference the same daemon, so back up both sides.
Where OpenRazer stores this, by platform
/var/lib/openrazer/razer.db
Daemon device state lives here. Stop openrazer-daemon before copying. Frontend profiles in ~/.config add per app effects.
Frequently asked questions
How do I back up OpenRazer effects?
Copy the daemon database with openrazer-daemon stopped, plus frontend profiles from Polychromatic or RazerGenie. Restart and confirm per device lighting.
Why is my Razer device missing?
Confirm the device PID appears in supported lists and the daemon sees it. Exclusives and new revisions lag support. Daemon logs name the gap.
