# EdgeLine: investigating Corsair Xeneon Edge control and touch interfaces

> EdgeLine investigates the Corsair Xeneon Edge display's Linux control interfaces and provides a panel control app. Its notes record the vendor HID report layout and separate touch-controller descriptors, while the app uses HID for brightness, ddcutil for picture settings and xinput for touch modes. The HID command table distinguishes observed behavior from candidate commands.
