# mx3000control: reconstructing Perixx MX-3000 HID settings

> mx3000control configures the Perixx MX-3000 mouse on Linux using HID feature reports recovered from its Windows driver. The C tool sets DPI, sensitivity, LED behavior, buttons and macros; a development log documents analysis of the mouse communication.
