rivalcfg: Configure SteelSeries gaming mice

Rivalcfg is a Python library and a CLI utility program that allows you to configure SteelSeries gaming mice on Linux and Windows (probably works on BSD and Mac OS too, but not tested).

I first created this program to configure my Rival 100 and the original Rival mice, then I added support for other Rival devices thanks to contributors. Today this project aims to support any SteelSeries gaming mice (Rival, Sensei,...).

IMPORTANT: This is an unofficial software. It was made by reverse engineering devices and is not supported nor approved by SteelSeries.
