+# Razer Blade 16 control utility
+
+For those of you who
+* own a Razer Blade 16 2023
+* use Windows 11
+* Razer Synapse 3 (including the Beta) makes your eyes bleed
+* baffled by why your fans are always at full-throttle
+* and the battery depletes in just an hour
+
+I have great news. I've reverse-engineered the Razer protocol and have crafted an alternative solution. A drop-in predictable and compact Razer Synapse alternative.
+
+## What can it control?
+
+* Performance modes (including overclock)
+* Lid logo modes: off, static, breathing
+* Keyboard brightness (works on Windows with Fn keys anyway)

+
+## Reverse Engineering
+
+Read about the reverse engineering process for Razer Blade 16 in [data/README.md](data/README.md). You can follow the steps and adjust the utility for other Razer laptops.
+
+Run `razer-cli enumerate` to get PID.
+Then `razer-cli -p 0xPID info` to check if the application works for your Razer device.
