# open-m711pro: reconstructing Redragon M711 Pro USB control

> open-m711pro reconstructs the Redragon M711 Pro mouse's USB HID configuration exchanges from vendor-app traffic captured with usbmon and Wireshark. Its Python Linux driver and interfaces read and set lighting, DPI, button mappings and polling rate through hidraw, with packet builders tested against captured bytes.
