I'm having issues with the trackpad as well, did the DSDT Patch but to no avail. Battery patch worked fine but I had to manually type some areas to ensure there weren't errors. Would love to help anyway I can I have the laptop updated to Mojave.

Post it up in that thread and see what comes of it. For now lets try and figure out your audio issue.

Considering everything else is set, it must be that your set up needs a different Layout ID. So this will be kind of a long trial and error process.
But you need to mount your EFI drive. Navigate to EFI-Clover-Config.plist, open it up in Xcode or a Plist Editor. Find Devices-Properties-PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x1f,0x3)
Expand that you'll see layout-id with a number next to it. It's set for 29 at the moment, that is what the majority of the Razer Blade 15's use.
Attached is a screen shot of possible Layout-ID's for the audio card in this laptop. You just have to pick one, add change it in your config.plist and then reboot and see if audio works. Do that until you find a layout-id that works for you.

I've also attached a screen shot of the part of the config.plist I'm talking about.

Same issues. Pinned trackpad, etc. Still not working. Any ideas?

Hi
I'm planning to order Razer Blade 15 GTX 1060 512GB SSD model.
Just wanted to confirm if we STILL need to change the SSD to install hackintosh or has someone found a fix. Also is there a fix for wifi (without replacing the hardware).

You should to change SSD - macos just doesnt work with some types of NVMe. And you should to replace wi-fi too - there is no choice.

For now for me the biggest problem with macos - time running without charging - there is only 3.5 hours (without hard apps and with turned on Endurance). On Windows in the same mod i have about 6 hours. For two days ill via mail broken charger to get a wire from it and ill try to adapt it for using with 100w powerbank.

And for now i have one more problem - i cant disable my nv card via dsdt patching. I've tryed to do for now clear patching - created dump of it, do all by instructions, but no result. System is loading well, DSDT patches working, but SSDT-10 - no. I dont know why.

Man, that would be A-MA-ZING if you could do that. That power adapter is devilishly heavy. Can you keep us posted about this power bank thing please?

Heavy and not good quality, In my case is the second charger that stops working, I had to tell this to Razer but it is something common, appart from this, are super expensive and no one third company produce them cheaper. If you are travelling with the laptop and the charger stops working there is no way to get any replacement in weeks. I really hate it that Razer put in this laptop this kind of chargers, doesn't make sense.

Do you guys have properly working audio? When I boot up with my headphones plugged in everything's working perfectly for a minute or two before the volume goes down and the sound distorts. Is anyone else experience something similar?
