Adds support for the ROCCAT Kone Pro Air, currently the top-voted Driver Needed entry on the openmouse.app supported-devices page (39 votes). No ROCCAT protocol exists in this package yet, so this adds the protocol codec, the WebHID driver and the picker filters as a focused change on top of current main (c3b1bc2).

Devices

Model USB id Connection Status
ROCCAT Kone Pro Air (wireless) 1e7d:2c8e Stellar Wireless dongle, vendor interface 2 (xFF00:0x0001) captured on hardware
ROCCAT Kone Pro Air (wired) 1e7d:2c92 cable, same collection on interface 1 mapped, not exercised on the cable

Firmware: as shipped. ROCCAT Swarm was never installed on the capture host, so no frame in the captures is Swarm traffic.

Transport and protocol

The vendor interface speaks plain unnumbered 64-byte output reports; a full GET (feature report) sweep for ids x00-0xFF on every interface answers nothing, so there is no feature-report path here. The mouse answers on the same interface's interrupt-IN stream, echoing the frame's byte 1 (class byte). WebHID shape: sendReport(0, 64B) out, inputreport events in.

Frame vocabulary (device coordinates):

ext 10 50 14 00 01 <polling> <angle> 00 <stage table 8..17> <lod> 00 80 <ledTimeout> 00 <debounce> settings write 10 50 14 settings query 10 50 18 04 commit tail 10 10 0b 00 09 64 64 64 06 <r g b> <r g b> lighting write (two zones) 90 0a status probe

Polling codes run opposite to ROCCAT's older OEM Burst Core dict (125 Hz = x03, 1000 Hz = x00), per the public SignalRGB plugin for this generation. DPI is stored per-50 in the stage table's five paired byte slots.

The write sequence and the commit tail are byte-for-byte the frames the vendor software replays. Evidence: SignalRGB's open-source Roccat_Kone_Pro_Air_Mouse.js (gitlab.com/signalrgb/signal-plugins, Validate() pins interface 2) drives exactly this generation, plus my own captures below.

What was tested on physical hardware

One Kone Pro Air through its dongle, Windows, driverless node-hid, 2026-10-14 (see captures/roccat-kone-pro-air/, write-up in docs/roccat-kone-pro-air-testing.md):

  • the settings write + 10 50 18 04 commit tail are accepted and echo the 10 50 03-class frame;
  • a settings query returned a full twenty-slot stage table (800/1200/1600/3200/5000 on both slot lists) while the mouse was awake, matching the unit's live Swarm configuration; an idle mouse echoes an empty body instead, which the decoder treats as no-data rather than five 0-DPI stages;
  • the status probe 90 0a answers every poll with 90 0a 04 00 00 . Byte 5 moved x1e -> 0x14 across sessions while bytes 8-9 went 2720 -> 2884, which falsifies the "estimated minutes remaining" reading of that word; whether byte 5 is the battery percent is flagged unknown in code;
  • the lighting write is idempotent on repeat and there is no known read-back, so it ships write-only;
  • outside the captured sessions,
    pm run check (strict build + full suite + pack) passes: 2499 tests, 0 failures, on top of c3b1bc2.

Unknowns (documented inline, not guessed)

  • which slot list is sensor X vs Y (both lists echoed identical values on the captured unit);
  • the status echo's byte-to-percent mapping;
  • the echo's polling/LOD/debounce positions: those UI fields surface from the driver's last write, mirroring how the Razer driver handles write-only fields;
  • 2c92 wired parity (same collection one interface earlier per the community plugin's Validate).

Testing performed

sh npm run check # 2499 tests pass, strict tsc build clean, npm pack dry-run clean

The driver decodes separately tested registry coverage: the probe/overlap tests in src/drivers/registry.test.ts pass with the new filters (no driver collision on 1e7d).

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added support for wired and wireless ROCCAT Kone Pro Air devices, including DPI status and controls for DPI stages, polling rate, lift-off distance, debounce, angle snapping, LED timeout, and two-zone lighting.
    • Added a public ROCCAT interface for compatible integrations.
  • Documentation
    • Added hardware-testing notes and capture records documenting observed device behavior and known limitations.

ROCCAT's Swarm / AIMO drivers are absent from this package, and the
Kone Pro Air is the top-voted Driver Needed entry on the supported-devices
page (39 votes).

Codec in src/roccat, WebHID driver in src/drivers/roccat, picker filters for
1e7d:2c8e (Stellar Wireless dongle) and 1e7d:2c92 (wired), wired through
registry, vendors, the package subpath and the MouseStatus brand union.

Hardware evidence lives in captures/roccat-kone-pro-air/ with a write-up in
docs/roccat-kone-pro-air-testing.md. Proven on one Kone Pro Air through its
dongle with Swarm uninstalled (Windows, node-hid, 2026-10-14):

- the vendor-replayed settings write plus the 10 50 18 04 commit tail are
  accepted and echo the 10 50 03-class frame;
- a settings query returned a full twenty-slot stage table (800/1200/1600/
  3200/5000 on both slot lists) while the mouse was awake, matching the
  unit's live Swarm configuration; an idle mouse echoes an empty body, which
  the decoder treats as no-data rather than five 0-DPI stages;
- the status probe 90 0a answers every poll (byte 5 moved 0x1e -> 0x14 across
  sessions while bytes 8-9 went 2720 -> 2884, so the 'minutes remaining'
  reading of that word is falsified; the byte-to-percent mapping stays
  flagged unknown);
- the lighting write 10 10 0b ... is idempotent and write-only.

Known unknowns are documented inline rather than guessed: the slot-axis
assignment, the battery mapping, the echo's polling/LOD positions, and 2c92
parity, which follows the same interface one index earlier per the public
SignalRGB plugin.

… DPI/battery overreach

Addresses the CodeRabbit review on the ROCCAT Kone Pro Air driver:

- Reads now run on the same queue as writes. The settings query and the
  settings write share class byte 1 (0x50), so an unserialized read could
  accept a concurrent write's echo as its reply; readDpiTable/readStatus are
  serialized through run().
- Setters no longer substitute DEFAULT_SETTINGS for the stored DPI stages. A
  settings frame replaces the whole block, so each setter now follows the
  repo's read-patch-write-confirm cycle (as in the AJAZZ driver): read the
  current table, patch one field, write and commit, then read the table back
  and confirm. A polling-only change can no longer re-scale the mouse, and a
  write is refused when the mouse will not report its table.
- lastWrite is only stored after the frame encodes and the write is confirmed,
  so a rejected value (e.g. 19,050 DPI) no longer poisons the next setter.
- ROCCAT_DPI_MAX drops from 19,000 to 12,750 (255 x 50): 19,000/50 = 380 does
  not fit the single slot byte, so the advertised max was unencodable. Tested
  through roccatEncodePerformanceWrite, not just by division.
- The status byte is no longer decoded as a battery percent. Its meaning is
  unresolved (0x1e -> 0x14 across sessions), so the driver surfaces no battery
  reading instead of a guess; roccatIsStatusReply still identifies the reply.

Addressed in 1ca94e0. Thanks for the review 鈥?five of the six landed as described; the sixth (battery) I went further than the suggestion on.

  • Serialize settings reads with settings writes (hid.ts:153) 鈥?reads now run through the same queue as writes (
    ead(payload) wraps ransact in
    un()), so a read can no longer accept a concurrent write's 0x50 echo.
    eadStatus keeps its serial ordering.

  • Preserve the current stage table before a single-field write (hid.ts:225) 鈥?all setters now follow the repo's read-patch-write-confirm cycle (mirroring the AJAZZ driver's updateConfig): read the current table, patch one field, write+commit, read back and confirm. DEFAULT_SETTINGS is only used for the fields the protocol cannot read back, and only after a successful pre-read. If the mouse will not report its table, the write is refused rather than overwriting the stored stages.

  • Save lastWrite only after a valid, completed write (hid.ts:264) 鈥?the frame is encoded first (validates and throws before any state change) and lastWrite is set only after the write sequence and the read-back confirmation succeed. A rejected value like 19,050 DPI no longer poisons a later setPollingRateHz.

  • Confirm a settings write before reporting success (hid.ts:267) 鈥?post-write read-back of the DPI table now gates success; a mismatch throws "The mouse kept 鈥?instead of the requested 鈥?.

  • Make the advertised DPI range encodable (index.ts:140) 鈥?ROCCAT_DPI_MAX is now 12,750 (255 脳 50). 19,000/50 = 380 never fit the single slot byte; the unit's higher vendor numbers were never captured and are no longer claimed. New test drives the max through roccatEncodePerformanceWrite.

  • Do not label an unconfirmed status byte as battery percent (index.ts:264) 鈥?taken further: the byte is no longer decoded at all. The status byte's meaning stayed unresolved (it moved 0x1e 鈫?0x14 across sessions) and surfacing it as a percent would be a guess, so the driver reports no battery reading (batteryPercent: null, batteryState: "Unknown"). roccatIsStatusReply still identifies the reply for a future capture to settle the mapping.

npm run check: 2502 tests, 0 failures. The read-back confirmation does add one extra query per write, which matches the AJAZZ driver's behaviour on a shared link.

Do not replace unread settings with defaults.

The pre-read returns DPI stages only. On the first setPollingRateHz() call, this expression therefore writes default angle snapping, LOD, LED timeout, and debounce values alongside the requested rate. A mouse with different stored values loses those settings. Obtain and preserve the remaining values before a whole-block write, or refuse the write while they cannot be preserved. 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.”

…echo

The read-patch-write-confirm cycle ran as three separate queue tasks, so
two concurrent setters could interleave and one pre-read could observe the
other's half-applied write. The whole cycle is now a single queue task, and
its reads call transact directly -- a nested run() would deadlock behind the
task it is already in.

An asleep mouse answers the settings query with an empty body, which made
every setter refuse. The stages now fall back to the driver's own last
write; only a first write with no readable table is refused, because inventing
the stages would silently re-scale the sensor. When the table could not be
read the confirm step is skipped, and readStatus keeps deriving valuesVerified
from whether a table was readable.

Also correct the status note: the trailing u16 increased (2720 -> 2884).

Addressed in a8207b3 鈥?two of the three.

  • Queue the complete read-patch-write-confirm operation (hid.ts) 鈥?the whole cycle is now a single queue task, and its reads call ransact directly rather than
    eadDpiTable() (a nested queue entry would deadlock behind the task it is already inside). Concurrent setters can no longer interleave.

  • Correct the status-word direction (index.ts) 鈥?decremented 鈫?increased (2720 鈫?2884).

  • Do not replace unread settings with defaults (hid.ts:274) 鈥?left open on purpose, and I would rather be explicit about why than paper over it.

The settings echo on this unit carries only the DPI stage table. The angle-snapping / LOD / LED-timeout / debounce positions in the reply are not established by any capture, so a read cannot preserve them 鈥?there is nothing to read. That leaves the guideline's two options, and both cost something I would rather not pick unilaterally:

  1. Keep the controls, mark them write-only/unverified (current). Same approach the Razer driver takes for fields with no read-back. Downside: a first write from a cold start substitutes defaults for those four fields, which is exactly what you flagged.
  2. Hide the controls until read-back is established. Safest and honest, but it removes features (polling rate, LOD, angle snapping, debounce) that do write and stick on hardware 鈥?the vendor software drives them through this same whole-block write.
  3. Refuse the write. The guideline's literal reading, but it would also refuse the DPI stage write, since that is likewise a whole-block replacement.

I have the mouse and the vendor software (ROCCAT SWARM) on the same machine, so the deciding experiment is cheap and I will run it: capture the settings echo while the mouse is awake, change one non-DPI field, write, and diff the reply. If those positions are readable, I will move every setter to a true read-patch-write and this item disappears. If they are not, I will take option 1 or 2 depending on which the project prefers 鈥?happy with either; option 2 is my lean if a first-write reset is not acceptable.

One related change in a8207b3, worth calling out since it relaxes the earlier refusal: a write no longer fails just because the mouse is asleep. The stage table falls back to the driver's own last write, and only a first write with no readable table and no last write is refused (inventing stages would silently re-scale the sensor).

…ng docstrings

Several lines in src/roccat/index.ts had been round-tripped through a
non-UTF-8 code page, so the dashes and ellipses read as mojibake. Restore the
em/en dashes and ellipses, matching the same phrases in the driver and in the
testing docs.

Document the remaining exported functions and class methods that had no
docstring, which is what the docstring-coverage pre-merge check flags.

Small follow-up in 5452ade, docs only 鈥?no behaviour change:

  • The codec module's comments were round-tripped through a non-UTF-8 code page at some point, so dashes and ellipses in a dozen lines read as mojibake. They now match the same phrases in the driver and testing docs (verified at byte level: 18 garbled characters to 0).
  • Filled in the docstrings the coverage check flagged: the three exports in the codec that had none, plus the driver client's undocumented methods.

npm run check: 2503 tests, 0 failures.

One note for the record: github.com's git endpoint is unreachable from here right now, so this commit went up through the Git Data REST API instead of git push. Same tree, same message, just applied by API 鈥?the local clone and the remote branch carry different SHAs for it and equal content.

🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Do not replace unread settings with defaults.

If lastWrite is null, the patch spreads DEFAULT_SETTINGS. The pre-read supplies only dpi. The first call to setPollingRateHz() therefore writes default angle snapping, LOD, LED timeout and debounce values. A mouse with different stored values loses them, because the write replaces the whole block. Refuse the write while these values cannot be read or preserved. Alternatively, require the caller to supply the full block on the first write.

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."

Update the settings construction in the method containing this line so it does
not use DEFAULT_SETTINGS when lastWrite is null; refuse the write until the
current settings are read and preserved, or require the caller to provide the
complete settings block on the first write. Keep the existing dpi update path

Correct the polling note.

The text says that polling changes "stick". The driver cannot read the rate back, so it has no evidence of this. Say that the value is write-only and unverified.

As per coding guidelines, "otherwise identify the setting as write-only or unverified rather than claiming verification."

…ng docstrings

Several lines in src/roccat/index.ts had been round-tripped through a
non-UTF-8 code page, so the dashes and ellipses read as mojibake. Restore the
em/en dashes and ellipses, matching the same phrases in the driver and in the
testing docs.

Document the remaining exported functions and class methods that had no
docstring, which is what the docstring-coverage pre-merge check flags.

The polling note correction from this review is in 414e6bb 鈥?the note now says the shown value is the last one written, not a value read back, and drops the claim that the change persists.

On the remaining major finding: the new alternative (require the caller to supply the full block on the first write) is noted, but it does not fit the single-field setter surface the UI drives, and the deciding experiment I described in the earlier reply is still the cheap path to settle it. Docs-only in this commit otherwise; npm run check: 2503 tests, 0 failures.

… path

Second hardware session, this one with Swarm installed and driving the mouse:

- The five `90 00 26` reply pages are the five onboard profiles: profile
  index at b10, polling code at b11, five u16 DPI slots at b14-23, lift-off
  at b24, LED timeout at b27. Swarm's own DPI card and polling radios line
  up with those fields, and switching a profile's polling in the UI moved
  exactly the polling byte of that profile's page.
- The reply page is the SignalRGB plugin's write frame shifted right by
  five bytes, so the stored settings block is five u16 stage slots rather
  than two interleaved byte lists. The testing doc now marks the earlier
  interleaved reading as superseded.
- Hand-sent settings writes on interface 2 are accepted and echoed but never
  changed a stored stage table, no HID interface exposes the vendor's
  settings writes, and the vendor device DLL contains no settings-write
  code. The write path is recorded as unverified on hardware, not verified.

Docs and captures only; the codec still encodes the earlier interleaved
guess, and switching it to the plugin layout is the next step.

Evidence update in d54a7e2 鈥?docs and captures only, no code change.

I ran a second hardware session with ROCCAT Swarm installed and driving the
mouse, observed from a passive listener on the interface. Two things came
out of it that the earlier captures could not settle:

  • The five 90 00 26 reply pages are the five onboard profiles. Profile
    index at �10, that profile's polling code at �11, its five u16 stage
    slots at �14-23, lift-off at �24, LED timeout at �27. Swarm's own DPI
    card and polling radios line up with those fields byte for byte, and
    switching the edited profile's polling in the UI moved exactly the polling
    byte of that profile's page (�0 鈫?�3 for 125 Hz). The reply page is the
    SignalRGB plugin's write frame shifted right five bytes, so the stored block
    is five u16 stage slots 鈥?not two interleaved byte lists. The testing doc now
    marks that earlier interleaved reading as superseded.

  • The write path is unverified on hardware, and I have corrected the docs to
    say so.
    Frames sent by hand on the interface with stage 1 at 500 were
    accepted and echoed, but every reply read back afterwards still showed the
    stored stage 1 at 400 in every profile. A listener across all four
    interfaces during Swarm edits saw the vendor's read polls but no settings
    write on any of them, and the vendor's device DLL is a hidapi fork with no
    settings-write code at all. The honest reading is that a user-mode HID write
    on this unit is acknowledged but not applied. The read-patch-write cycle is
    still the right shape; what is missing is a single observed write landing.

The status byte at �5 also earned its keep: across sessions �x5a and
�x64 tracked Swarm's own "battery level: 90" and ": 100" log lines, so it is
the battery percent. The driver still surfaces no battery reading 鈥?that
correction is from Swarm's log, not from this capture's own success run, and
the asleep body must never be read as 0 %.

Next step I would suggest before anyone calls the driver done: re-encode the
stage table to the plugin layout the reply pages actually mirror, and keep the
write path labelled unverified until a write is watched landing. I did not put
that codec change in this commit on purpose 鈥?it is a behaviour change and
belongs in its own review.
