Trouble with Razer Huntsman V2 Analog Keyboard

Hello,
I have recently bought a “Razer Huntsman V2 Analog” keyboard and have gotten the Openrazer software. Unfortunately the only thing I can really do with that software is change the RGB on the keyboard and I cannot find any other software where I could change the actuation point and configure profiles. Going into Windows and using Razer Synapse to create profiles with joystick or gamepad functions or change actuation points changes it for Windows only and switching to Manjaro and selecting the profiles does not actually work.

Any recommendation on any software other than Openrazer to configure either the profiles or the actuation point of the keys?

Here is my inxi output:

Hello,

You could start with Razer peripherals - ArchWiki and see what serves you better.

I’ll have a look at it, thank you!

This keyboard is listed as supported on openrazer.github.io

For Arch/Manjaro they recommend installing openrazer-meta from AUR, same as Archwiki

As stated in the original post, openrazer only allows me to change the RGB on the keyboard and nothing else, unless I am missing something. I need software where I can change the profiles and actuation points of the keys.

Openrazer only allows me to change the RGB, I need to be able to change the actuation point of the keys, which openrazer doesn’t allow me to do.
