Could you build this?

Partial While creating a Windows system tray app is straightforward, querying proprietary battery levels across diverse wireless mice, headsets, and proprietary 2.4GHz dongles requires reverse-engineered HID protocols.

What it would actually take: The app needs a C# (.NET/WPF) or Rust-based tray architecture interacting with Windows Bluetooth APIs and raw HID devices. The hard part is implementing vendor-specific HID report parsers (e.g., Logitech HID++, Razer, Corsair protocols) which require reverse engineering proprietary device packets and continuous hardware testing.
