The Razer Nari is a decent wireless headset, but it’s a little oddball—because it uses a bespoke USB dongle for pairing. This is all well and good if you’re using a supported configuration; plug it into a Windows PC, run the utility, and you’re good to go. If you’re a Linux user, though, you were out of luck—but [JJ] has just solved that problem.
The tool was created by reverse engineering the pairing protocol used by Razer’s own proprietary software. [JJ] figured out the necessary pairing command, and how to send it to both the dongle and the headset. The headset itself must be connected by a USB cable when initiating the pairing process.
It’s really quite a shame, that people would rather spend 200$ every 3 years, to buy a new gamer headset, instead of just buying good headphones and a good mic, that will last you an eternity.
My pairs of HD600 and HD650 are from 2001 and 2003 respectively, still in use daily. Replaced the cable, and switched out the padding a few times, but other than that, they’re still as good as new
