Controls for Steelseries Arctis 7 (2019) wireless headset

Made this so I don't have to use the Steelseries control engine adware virus. I find that it makes the quality of the headset worse.

Works on Windows, and most likely on Linux.

Prerequisites

• Python 3
• PyUSB
• libusb or some other backend for PyUSB

Windows

1. Install Zadig
2. Open it and select Options->List All Devices
3. Find Steelseries Arctis 7 (Interface 5)
4. Install the WinUSB driver to it

Now you can successfully write to the device without Windows throwing a fit.
