OBOX Controller ViGEm Driver: a Windows client for the Snail OBox gamepad

OBOX Controller ViGEm Driver implements a Windows client for the Snail OBox Bluetooth gamepad using a documented HID protocol. Its Rust driver maps buttons, sticks and triggers to a ViGEmBus Xbox 360 controller and sends rumble and LED commands through HID output reports; the repository also includes a Python prototype.
