Additional context I really would love to have these controls over my mouse. I understand it is not needed to have a happy life 😃 Making your software more usable for others too, i would love to help with more information if needed.

I tried a few steps in making my own config file, but that did not help without knowing the right support for this mouse.

Thanks in advance for your time.

Ronald.

https://github.com/mikecrowe/libratbag/tree/mac/sinowealth7 contains my very early attempt at a driver. There’s bound to be lots of wrong stuff in it and the driver currently only controls whether the LED is on or off. But, it’s a start. I need to work out how to map the features of the mouse onto libratbag’s options. In particular, although the LED brightness can be directly controlled, its colour cannot be since the colour is used to indicate which DPI preset is in use.
