# attackshark-x11prov2: decoding the X11 PRO V2 mouse configuration protocol

> attackshark-x11prov2 reconstructs the ATTACK SHARK X11 PRO V2 mouse's HID configuration exchanges and implements a Python CLI for DPI stages, polling rate and lift-off distance. The documented report layouts include the LOD byte, checksum and read and write acknowledgments.
