Adds the original Sensei [RAW] command set: Sensei [RAW] (1038:1369) and its Diablo III (1038:1362), Guild Wars 2 (1038:136D), Call of Duty: Black Ops II (1038:136F), World of Tanks (1038:1380) and Heroes of the Storm (1038:1390) editions. Codec (src/steelseries/sensei-raw.ts), catalog entries, and WebHID driver, all with tests.

Reconstructed from the vendor's own GG 121.0.0 sensei-raw_base.lisp profile (the editions share it), with rivalcfg's sensei_raw.py independently corroborating every command byte and supplying the DPI range.

  • DPI: 03 01/03 02 with a linear byte — rivalcfg's input_range [90, 5670, 90] → output_range [0x01, 0x3F, 1], so byte = (dpi - 90)/90 + 1, 90–5670 in 90 DPI steps.
  • LED: this mouse has a single white/red LED — no color command — just brightness 05 01 (off/low/medium/high) and effect 07 01 (steady/breath/trigger).
  • Buttons: 31 00, eight 3-byte slots, using rivalcfg's exact offset order (buttons 6 and 7 are assigned in swap order).
  • Polling 04 00; save 09 00; firmware 10 00 (connectivity probe); active preset index 16 00.
  • Driver writes the active DPI preset (read via 16 00), so setDpi takes effect after the CPI button switches presets.

This is distinct from the Sensei [RAW] Optical RGB (1038:1800) / Optical V2 (1038:1826), which use the Rival 310 command set, and from Sensei TEN / Sensei 310.

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

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

This change adds protocol support for SteelSeries Sensei [RAW] devices, a WebHID client for reading status and writing settings, six product entries, and driver registry integration.

Changes

Sensei [RAW] support

Layer / File(s) Summary
Protocol commands and encodings
src/steelseries/sensei-raw.ts, src/steelseries/sensei-raw.test.ts, src/steelseries/index.ts
Adds command encoders and firmware decoding, including validation for DPI, polling rates, LED choices, and button mappings. Tests check command bytes, decoded values, and invalid inputs.
Product support and HID operations
src/steelseries/devices.ts, src/drivers/steelseries/sensei-raw-hid.ts, src/drivers/steelseries/sensei-raw-hid.test.ts
Adds six wired product entries and a client that probes firmware, reads the active preset, reports status, and writes settings followed by a save command. Tests cover device support, status probing, and setting reports.
Driver registry integration
src/drivers/registry.ts
Adds the client to the public client union and registers its support check, constructor, and score.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to a1a2e

Settings on supported Sensei [RAW] devices can disable buttons or change the wrong DPI preset. Resolve these write-safety issues before merging.

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to a1a2e

Impact is limited to the selected mouse, but a failed active-preset query can still save a DPI change to the wrong preset. Hardware response framing and interface selection remain unverified.

Retained concerns

  • Low · reliability · observed: A timed-out or malformed active-preset response becomes preset 1, and setDpi proceeds to write and save that preset. If preset 2 is active, query failure can therefore persist a change to an unintended preset instead of containing the failure. This is a device-state consistency and recovery concern, not a demonstrated host compromise.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The inspected authority is device-local: each client holds one supplied HIDDevice and writes its settings. Selection is limited to vendor 0x1038 and the six RAW catalog products. Effective interface exposure still depends on the unavailable production picker and browser-granted device access.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • inferred — An unrelated or device-controlled input report arriving during a query can determine the selected preset and subsequent persistent DPI write. Physical response framing and unsolicited-report reachability are unverified. This trace ends at the supplied device's configuration; it does not establish privilege escalation or a verified security vulnerability.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The registry consumes an existing HIDDevice and constructs a matching client; it does not request WebHID permission. Outbound encoders constrain DPI, polling, LED options, button names, and key-code ranges before generating settings reports.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — A silent interface causes readStatus's firmware probe to reject, but setters do not require that probe first. Consequently, the status probe is not a universal prerequisite for persistent writes, and active-preset uncertainty is handled differently from connectivity uncertainty.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Represent an unvalidated active preset as unknown and stop active-preset writes before mutation. Retain explicit preset-setting operations for callers that intentionally choose a target, and use captured hardware framing to define response validation and configuration-interface selection.

Do not write preset 1 when the active preset is unknown.

readActivePreset returns 1 on a timeout or on an unexpected byte. In that case setDpi writes 03 01 and saves it. It then records the value as preset 1. If the mouse is on preset 2, the cursor DPI does not change. The method still returns dpi as a success. This breaks the documented guarantee that "a change always takes effect". The call also overwrites the stored preset 1 without the user's request. Make readActivePreset return null when the reply fails or contains a value other than 1 or 2. Then make setDpi throw an error, or report the write as unverified, instead of writing to an assumed preset.

Do not disable unmapped buttons on a partial mapping.

setButtonsMapping accepts Partial<...>. The encoder sets every omitted slot to 0x00, which is "disabled". The 24-byte packet replaces all eight slots. A call such as setButtonsMapping({ button8: ... }) therefore disables the left and right click buttons and saves that state to flash. The device cannot report the current mapping. The coding guideline says to "Refuse the write if unknown or reserved state cannot be preserved safely." Require all eight buttons in the mapping, or reject a mapping that omits a button.

As per coding guidelines: "When a write replaces a multi-value setting and the device exposes its current state, preserve unrelated readable values. Refuse the write if unknown or reserved state cannot be preserved safely."

Correlate input reports with the pending query.

onInputReport forwards every input report to the pending waiter. awaitResponse resolves from the first report after sending the query. A report with a different report ID or an invalid payload can therefore consume the waiter before the intended reply arrives. probeFirmware can display firmware from unrelated bytes, and readActivePreset can select preset 1 from an unrelated payload. setDpi can then write and save the wrong preset.

Keep the existing timeout fallback, but leave the waiter pending until the expected report ID and query-specific payload format match.
