Could you build this?

No Building a custom hardware configurator for a specific third-party gamepad requires reverse-engineering proprietary USB/HID protocols and writing low-level Linux driver/device communication code.

What it would actually take: Development requires USB packet sniffing (via Wireshark/usbmon) to reverse-engineer GameSir's proprietary vendor-defined HID reports and configuration packets. The software would be built in C, Rust, or Python using libusb/hidapi along with a Qt or GTK UI. Expertise in embedded hardware protocols, reverse engineering, and Linux input subsystem architectures is required.
