# reticos-rgb: Speedlink RETICOS RGB mouse profile protocol

> reticos-rgb reconstructs the Speedlink RETICOS RGB mouse's HID profile protocol from a capture of its vendor driver. Its Python tools read and back up the onboard profile, change lighting, DPI and polling settings, and decode exported .bkm profiles. The documentation maps feature reports and selected profile bytes.
