# RazerStream: reconstructing Stream Controller device control

> RazerStream replaces the retired control software for the Razer Stream Controller with a macOS app, Swift protocol library and CLI. Its documented device protocol runs over a USB serial port, performs a WebSocket upgrade, then exchanges framed commands and input events. The app configures touchscreen tiles, knobs, buttons and LEDs.
