Request: Sensei

[herrwusel]

Thanks for this project. Would it be possible to add support for the Sensei mouse? I don't know how to help you but here is the xinput:

Hello,

of course it is possible to support this mouse. But you will have to do some reverse engineering on it. See this post for more information: #94 (comment)

Will have a look on the weekend - thanks!

I got it working so far. When I enable the mouse via USB in virtualbox, I'm not able to use it outside of the VM. Any idea how I can change this behaviour?
In Wireshark I have multiple usbmon entries - any idea how to find out what's the correct one?

• You cannot use the mouse outside the VM when it is connected to the VM: you will need an other pointing device (other mouse, trackpad,...)

• To know which usbmon entry to use, you have to look at which USB bus your mouse is connected to. Just type

  lsusb
  

  and you will have something like this:

  Bus 003 Device 003: ID 1038:1702 SteelSeries ApS SteelSeries Rival 100 Gaming Mouse
  

  here my mouse is on the bus 3, so I will have to use usbmon3
