Could you build this?
Partial A native Windows system tray UI is straightforward, but querying diverse proprietary Bluetooth and 2.4GHz wireless peripherals requires low-level Win32/HID API and vendor-specific protocol handling.
What it would actually take: Built with C#/.NET or C++ using Windows HID APIs, Windows.Devices.Bluetooth, and reverse-engineered vendor protocols (such as Logitech HID++, Corsair, Razer) to poll battery levels from non-standard controllers and headsets across varying USB/Bluetooth chipsets.
