arctis7_controls

Controls for Steelseries Arctis 7 (2019) wireless headset written in Rust or Python (your choice)

Made this so I don't have to use the Steelseries control engine adware virus. I find that it makes the quality of the headset worse.

Works on Windows, and most likely on Linux.

The Rust version is preferred and the one that will be maintained. The Python one works still though.

Python Prerequisites

• Python 3
• PyUSB
• libusb or some other backend for PyUSB
