# LB-M8 Settings: reconstructing Lingbao M8 mouse commands

> LB-M8 Settings implements a browser client for the Lingbao M8 mouse using HID commands recovered from its Windows driver. A byte-level protocol reference describes 40-byte feature reports, request and reply behavior, and settings for DPI, polling rate, sleep, and sensor options.
