Could you build this?

Partial While an AI coding assistant can build the UI and D-Bus boilerplate, handling Logitech's proprietary HID++ protocol, haptics, and low-level Linux evdev/uinput gesture events requires hardware-level domain knowledge.

What it would actually take: Building a reliable version requires a system daemon written in Rust, C, or Python communicating directly with the kernel's hidraw interface. The difficult challenge lies in packet-level reverse engineering of Logitech's HID++ 2.0/4.x registers for haptic feedback and smart wheels, alongside creating jitter-free virtual input injection via libevdev and uinput.
