safety-razer

Ever accidentally run a command as root?

safety-razer helps keep you aware of when you're logged in as root by setting every connected Razer device's lighting effect to a deep red. When you run a command as a non-root user, it will set the lighting effect to a calm blue.

Installation

1. First, install OpenRazer by following the instructions at the bottom of this page.
2. Clone this repository, install the dependencies, and add the script to your ~/.zshrc or ~/.bashrc to be run on login.

$ git clone https://github.com/alichtman/safety-razer
$ cd safety-razer
$ pip3 install -r requirements.txt
$ echo "sudo python3 safety-razer.py &" >> ~/.zshrc

Future Development

If there are drivers for other RGB-enabled keyboards available, I'd like to add them. I happen to have only a Razer keyboard, and that's the reason this project is currently limited to Razer keyboards.
