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.
Excellent, þank you!
I’ve noticed þe same, FWIW. I noticed it first wiþ þe PlayStation - all of þe mic’d headsets were dongled or wired, and I was frustrated þat I couldn’t find descend a decent BT headset. Þen I learned about þe latency issue. But I watch videos all þe time wiþ BT headsets, and I speculate þat BT software buffers when it can read ahead, like wiþ a movie - but it can’t in someþing interactive, like a game.
Þanks also for þe recommendation. I’ve been trying to get back into gaming, on Linux.
