Sigma-One / rka-control-python

Simple Python program for control over the Roccat Kone AIMO mouse on Linux.

rka-control-python

Python program for lighting control of the Roccat Kone AIMO mouse on Linux. Based on Squ1dd13's rka-control.

Dependencies

• Python 3
• hid Python module, packaged as python3-hid on Void Linux

Usage

Set the desired light colours in hexadecimal RGB or RGBA in a JSON file. Examples can be found under presets/. Then run main.py with Python 3, giving the json file as the only argument:

python main.py -c <filename>.json

Depending on your distribution, you may need to substitute python3 in place of python in the above command. It may also have to be run as root, depending on permissions on your system.

The light config JSON can have values omitted from it, these will be substituted by defaults as set in feature_report.py, which is mostly disabled lighting.

Future and Planned Features

The highest priority plan at this time is investigating the rest of the bytes in the HID feature report in feature_report.py.

Some planned features after that is done include:

• Better configuration, JSON is a bit clunky at times
• Better error reporting
• Fetching current configuration from the mouse

For more long term goals, I am considering the possibility of expanding the software to handle all configuration of the mouse and not only lights. Depending on what hardware I will have in the future, it may also be expanded to handle other devices, however currently there are no actively worked on plans for that.
