hidapi VS HeadsetControl

On the computer, write a program (the "host" or "server") that talks over the raw HID protocol. It is open ended how you do this, but IME both the Python pyhidapi and C hidapi were simple enough to get something started. The trickiest part might be getting the program to run with the permissions to talk the raw HID protocol (at least on Linux, there was some udev rule to set up). Read the documentation for these libraries for details about how to get set up.

now I'm trying to figure out what to do with the next step for building my own host. Am I supposed to put this test file in my qmk code? or run it on my computer as it's own separate program? https://github.com/libusb/hidapi/blob/master/hidtest/test.c

HIDAPI

I did star https://github.com/libusb/hidapi too, as well as this GitHub.

I used ffigen to get the bindings from hidapi.h and cleaned up quite some of the resulting output to make it Dart compatible. Quite some typedef and some minor stuff.

I figured out the problem with JoyconLib! The hidapi.dll file was broken so I replaced it with a new file from https://github.com/libusb/hidapi/releases and not it's working.

Inspired by https://askubuntu.com/questions/699138/logitech-k380-bluetooth-keyboard-make-function-keys-default and https://github.com/libusb/hidapi, it's almost re-implementation of hidapi actually, with dart:ffi calling the syscall directly.

I guessing it needs to be put into a state todo this? The program https://github.com/Sapd/HeadsetControl can query the state of the Game/Chat mix dial. I pretty much just use this dial for Discord, so at minimum I want to have it so using the Game/Chat mix dial changes the volume of the Discord application. Ideal would be having a virtual sound that gets mixed back into the sound output.

For the arctis, you can likely use https://github.com/Sapd/HeadsetControl I'm using it with the nova 7 and it has 4 built in equalizers which do the job for me. You miss out on built in chatmix like sonar has but you can implement it pretty easily using pulseaudio virtual audio devices and interfacing with headset control to get the chat mix level from the headset. If you want to send me a dm once you get your system set up I can send you over a private repo I have for it!

Same here. My Logitech gaming headset works great in Linux. I do have to use some third party thing to adjust the goofy LED colors and side channel volume, though.

For the headset, this is a bit more difficult, if and only if, you are looking for a full compatibility, meaning all the functionality you would have in Windows. I would recommend looking at HeadSetControl repository if you need a full control of your headset under Linux, else all basic functionality should be available on most of the Headset market (please verify using google).

I also used it in Ubuntu with this little cli-tool headsetcontrol from here https://github.com/Sapd/HeadsetControl which works great with the G533. It also supports some other headsets, so it might be worth checking out.

Everything using Bluetooth should work, sometimes with a tiny bit of tweaking. If you want a bit more of functionality, look at https://github.com/Sapd/HeadsetControl you will find a list of supported devices.

This is probably what you want https://github.com/Sapd/HeadsetControl

I switched to linux a few weeks ago and talking with friends in discord is really annoying because of the sidetone. I've tried disabling it from alsamixer(there was no sidetone option) and HeadsetControl.

With my current headset, the problems I've had on Linux were the following: - Lack of battery notifications (mitigated with HeadsetControl) - Lack of surround settings - Can't use the programmable button
