Adds the first-generation Rival 100 family: Rival 100 (1038:1702) plus its PC Bang (1038:1708), Dell China (1038:170A) and Dota 2 (1038:170B/1038:170C) special editions and the Rival 105 (1038:1814). Codec (src/steelseries/rival-100.ts), catalog entries, and WebHID driver, all with tests.

Reconstructed from the vendor's own GG 121.0.0 device specification (rival-100.lisp and the derived files, which all include "rival-100"), with rivalcfg's rival100.py independently corroborating the command bytes.

  • DPI: two per-level commands 03 01/03 02 with a choice byte, not a linear encoding — the vendor file gives the byte but no table, so rivalcfg's eight-step table is used (250→0x08 … 4000→0x01, inverted order). Off-table values rejected.
  • Polling: 04 00 (01–04, 1000→125 Hz).
  • Lighting: single zone color 05 00 + RGB and effect 07 00 (steady/breath); the vendor color-sequencing template leaves the brightness byte zero, so this codec matches it.
  • Button-6 (CPI) mode 0B (dpi/os); the PC Bang edition's extra 00 0E 01 pre-packet is sent by the driver for that PID.
  • Save 09 00; firmware 10 00 → 2-byte reply, used as the connectivity probe (flagged: the vendor file has this commented out for the base model, but rivalcfg reads it live). The active preset index 16 00 is also readable.
  • No button remapping exists on this family — the vendor stubs are empty.

This deliberately does not claim the Rival 110/106/300S (same command bytes, different PixArt PMW3326 sensor table) — that needs its own module.

All entries verified: false — no hardware exercised. npm run check passes.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to e22ea

Rival 100 support is new and limited to this device family. DPI changes may not take effect if the user has switched to preset 2. The interface check can pass on the wrong HID interface. Both are bounded and can be handled in follow-up.

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to e22ea

Support is narrowly scoped to six mouse models and retains the existing browser-mediated device-access model. However, the configuration-interface probe can accept unrelated input, while setters automatically save changes. Physical interface behavior and interrupted writes remain unverified.

Retained concerns

  • Low · architecture · inferred: The new family's configuration-channel check does not establish that an input report answers the firmware query. Any payload of at least two bytes can produce firmware and settingsReady status, and setters can write and save without probing first. Thus an unrelated report could falsely validate a selected interface. The product-only filter and arrival-only probing convention predate this PR, but six additional product identities now inherit them. Actual wrong-interface command acceptance is unverified; browser device permission and exact product matching limit exposure.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The new authority path is device-local: registry matching covers six product identities, and each client sends reports through its supplied HIDDevice. Its consequential sink is persistent mouse configuration. The inspected path does not establish cross-device, tenant or service authority; final application-level permission and caller sequencing remain outside established coverage.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • inferred — Device-origin input can become displayed firmware and settings-ready state without report attribution. A device presenting an accepted identity could supply those bytes, but this path still requires access to the selected HIDDevice and does not demonstrate a browser-permission bypass. Whether legitimate non-configuration interfaces emit suitable reports is unknown.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Product-level selection is enforced, but no collection identity is checked by isSupported. Before normal writes enter the queue, DPI and polling encoders reject unsupported choices and RGB validation rejects non-integer or out-of-range channels. A silent firmware probe times out, and status discloses that settings were not read back.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • inferred — Failure after a setting report but before save can leave application cache and device state divergent; later saves may persist the device's current settings. Closing during a transition can interrupt save, while queued work can reopen the handle. The source provides ordering but no atomic rollback or cancellation contract. These are device-state containment limitations, not established privilege-escalation paths.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Capture physical WebHID descriptors and response behavior, then narrow interface selection and validate the expected firmware response before treating the channel as ready for persistent writes. A connectivity response should not be treated as authenticated hardware identity.
  • proposed — Define whether close drains or cancels pending operations, clean up waiters on interruption and send failure, and specify recovery after an uncertain save. Apply the contract consistently across existing SteelSeries clients rather than treating the new family as an isolated exception.

setDpi always writes preset 1, but the active preset can be preset 2.

The generic DPI control calls setDpi to change the DPI the user currently has. setDpi writes only 03 01, which is preset 1. If the user has switched to preset 2 with the CPI button, the write does not change the live sensitivity. readStatus still reports the written value as dpi. The protocol has a readable active-preset query (16 00, steelseriesRival100ActiveCpiQuery), and the client does not use it.

To fix this, read the active preset index. Then route setDpi to the matching sensitivity command. Track both presets in lastWritten so that dpi reflects the active preset. If you do not implement the read, state in pollingNote that dpi shows preset 1 only.

The firmware probe accepts the first input report of any kind.

onInputReport resolves every waiter with any input report. It does not filter on reportId or on the content. The picker can grant an interface that sends unrelated vendor input reports. On that interface, steelseriesRival100DecodeFirmware decodes those unrelated bytes as a firmware version. The probe then passes, although the comment says the wrong interface must "fail the firmware probe loudly". To fix this, filter on event.reportId === RIVAL100_REPORT_ID and check the expected reply length (or shape) before you resolve the waiter.
