HyperX Pulsefire Dart Reverse Engineering: mouse control protocol

HyperX Pulsefire Dart Reverse Engineering documents the mouse's USB control protocol from captured exchanges with NGenuity Beta and trial-and-error probing. It records 64-byte messages, settings commands, packet captures, a HIDAPI example and a work-in-progress Wireshark dissector.
