Could you build this?
Partial While the desktop companion app wrapper is simple, communicating with proprietary SteelSeries gaming peripherals requires reverse engineering USB HID protocols or integrating undocumented hardware APIs.
What it would actually take: The stack would typically consist of Electron or Tauri paired with low-level Node/Rust USB HID communication libraries (`node-hid` or `hidapi`). The hard part is reverse-engineering SteelSeries vendor-specific USB packets for RGB controls, OLED screens, or macro bindings without official documentation. This requires hardware sniffing (Wireshark/USBPcap) and systems-level driver/protocol programming expertise.
