The full story
Neuron replaces Razer Synapse with a tray app and command line tool offering lighting effects, Python macros, a radial menu, DPI stages and per-app profiles, with no account, cloud or telemetry. It talks to the hardware directly with no driver or vendor SDK.
The maker worked out the protocol from openrazer and a lot of live poking at their own devices. They say it worked once they told Claude it was not allowed to guess at the hardware.
