I have a Steelseries Rival 700 mouse.



End users can configure this mouse: Polling, sensitivbity, colors and effects, buttons, click macros, tactile effects, OLED display etc. blah blah.



It only has software for Windows and macOS.



I have used Wireshark and VM to gather information on how to configure the mouse, and used a simple script to test simple settings.



End goal is to have a piece of software I can use to configure most of the mouse.





Question



To write configuration to mouse one have to be super-user. To be able to write directly as end user one could add a udev rule for the mouse. My question is how bad this is.



It has root restrictions for a reason. Making the mouse open in userland is not the best, but how bad is it?



My thought is that it would perhaps be better / possible to create some sort of service that only takes defined sets of changes like the configuration options mentioned above. Then create a separate piece of software that communicate with this service.



Is the extra effort worth it?
