[SOLVED] Razer Peripherals

Hi,
I have no knowledge about Linux, but I started do a course from Linux Foundation, and after some YT search I decided to go with Arch,  despite the difficulty many report.
I am very excited, because following ArchWiki step by step, I now have an operating system that works perfectly and I'm looking forward to studying more suggested features.
But I'm stuck with Razer Peripherals and especially I can't get a window for quickly switch between DPI Profiles such as gaming etc. (My mouse is a Deathadder 2013)

• Actions I've done:

Sudo pacman -S razercfg

yay -S razergenie

• Created xorg.conf

/etc/X11/xorg.conf 

 

 Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier  "Mouse"
    Driver  "mouse"
    Option  "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
 EndSection 

• Restart

• After Login in terminal

udevadm control --reload-rules

sudo systemctl start razerd

• and

sudo systemctl enable razerd

Now, Whenever I try to run "Razer Configuration" from Applications list, a loading icon appears in task manager  and nothing happens. (I use plasma as Desktop Environment)
What I want to get is something like that https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-fZ1kySny_6g/ … hadder.png

Mod Edit - Replaced oversized image with link.
CoC - Pasting pictures and code

Re: [SOLVED] Razer Peripherals

I did an extra search and the solution was simpler than I expected.

1. Install the openrazer-meta AUR

2. Install a graphical front-end such as razergenie AUR

3. Install linux-headers

4. Last but not least: Use

   sudo gpasswd -a $USER plugdev

   to add user to plugdev group
