did it instantly recognise your mouse or did you have to do something extra?

What's the PID of the device? There are apparently new DeathAdder Essential mice with different PIDs (not currently supported by openrazer, which this software makes use of). See this PR: openrazer/openrazer#1642

Maybe that's the DA Essential you have? The software needs to know the PIDs to help identify devices even if they may be similarly supported.

RZO1-03850100
its the newer model i believe. how do i give the software my PID?
Thanks:)

Yes, it looks like you have the newer one with PID 0098.

I've only worked with adding devices in openrazer on Linux. I also do not own a Mac. But glancing at the wiki for razer-macos, it looks like razer-macos can use both ported and unmodified openrazer drivers (?) along with some .json files to define devices and their features.

So you could wait for that PR in openrazer and then use the eventually updated osx-razer-blade project drivers or the unmodified openrazer drivers for razer-macos. But I think you would also need to create the .json file for the new DA Essential for razer-macos. At least that is my take on it.

so if i wait long enough it'll probs be im a future update?

You can wait for the driver support, BUT ALSO as mentioned, have to add the appropriate feature .json file for this device in this project.

tbh idk how to do that. how would i go about doing that?
thanks for ur help man :)

I think the file setup may be fairly simple given this should be a very similar device to the other DA Essential. That wiki link can explain it in detail. I'd start there.

I believe I have the json file now with the correct contents :)
Quick question: I can't seem to find the file location where all the drivers are stored. Do you know what the file directory is? Sorry for the inconvenience

Sorry, that I do not know. I've not used this software or owned a Mac. My experience with the drivers has been exclusively on the Linux side while using openrazer.
