With pam:

/etc/security/console.apps/razertool:
. config-util
PROGRAM=/usr/sbin/razertool
SESSION=true

In order to install razertool to /usr/sbin instead of /usr/bin, configure with
%configure --bindir=%{_sbindir}

/etc/pam.d/razertool:
#%PAM-1.0
auth            include         config-util
account         include         config-util
session         include         config-util

If you choose the pam approach, don't forget to require usermode-gtk.

I would however prefer not to run this tool as root. Are these per-user or
global settings? Running as root is ok if it's golbal, but as downside a
weakness in the code could be exploited with root privileges.
On the other hand I don't like the idea of making _all_ the usb device files
writable. Does the program really need write access or is it just probing the
devices? Or is there a special device for the razer mice? If so, a file in
/etc/security/console.perms.d/ might suffice.
