# noirm1: reconstructing NOIR M1 mouse settings

> noirm1 reconstructs the NOIR M1 mouse's wired USB HID settings protocol from disassembly of the vendor's Windows utility and device checks. The Rust CLI writes polling rate, DPI and lighting settings through hidraw; protocol notes record packets and EEPROM fields.
