  "text": {
    "why": "Instead of one vendor app per brand, it talks to the mouse over the browser's WebHID, reads its information and changes settings such as DPI and polling rate. Packet codecs and drivers live in the separate @openmouse/protocol library, whose README lists 32 brand/protocol entry points including Razer, Logitech, Pulsar, Lamzu, Glorious, Finalmouse and the SteelSeries Rival 3. It states plainly that an implemented protocol does not mean every mouse of that brand works; a catalog's verified field marks hardware-tested support.",
    "take": "An attempt to replace a settings app per brand with one web page — and its own README insists that 'protocol implemented' and 'verified on hardware' are two different claims.",
    "build": [
      "The codec entry points in @openmouse/protocol work without WebHID, so you could build a Node.js mouse-configuration CLI or your own Linux settings tool on them. AGPL-3.0 applies even when you offer it as a service."
