Could you build this?
Partial The web UI for DPI, lighting, buttons, macros, and profiles is straightforward to vibe-code. Reliable device control depends on undocumented HID++ protocol details for the G502 that take reverse engineering to get right.
What it would actually take: The UI can be a standard web or desktop app talking to the device through Linux hidraw/libusb. The hard part is mapping the G502's HID++ 2.0 feature set (DPI, LED zones, onboard profiles, button remapping) by reverse engineering packets, which existing projects like Solaar and libratbag have partially documented. Building it well requires familiarity with Linux input and USB HID internals and access to the physical mouse for testing.
