All In Razer Blade Pro - Update 1/23/2019

Closer to posting the tutorial to get High Sierra to run on a Razer Blade Pro!

Trackpad is working well enough for basic functionality to call that part done. Would recommend a Magic Trackpad for the expected functionality as the Cirque Glidepoint device does not have a dedicated Linux or Mac driver. Parsing the Windows driver from Razer is not likely going to help.

Caps Lock still does not work, as well as battery management. I suspect these will take more time to figure out. SSDT creation and tweaking did not really help. I suspect that the battery technology is the same as previous model from Razer but likely has a newer software management that even with the available tweaks on the internet does not allow the battery to be seen. I even tried to get the battery to come up under a recent Ubuntu Live CD without success. And, as I said before, this machine will never have Windows installed natively. This is pure Hackintosh from the first power cycle. If anyone has an SSDT update or "hot fix" SSDT, please let me know, will include it in the tutorial when complete.

USB port injection using the standard KEXT for now will remain. The process of doing the USB 2/3 discovery is not really that difficult, and a recent video on YouTube details it well. I want to get the battery subroutine/subsystem working first in case there is some USB thing I do not know about that controls the power management.

All and all this is a great experience. Would recommending holding off installing the latest Security Update from Apple for 10.13.6 that posted last night till NVIDIA does their thing with the Web Drivers.
