This mouse work the same as the Aerox 3 and 5 Wireless, except for button mapping.

The button mapping requires 3 packets to fit the report size. Rivalcfg do not support sending more than one packet per command, so supporting button will require more work in the core of the project.

TODO:

• Support basic feature of the mouse (cloning the A3W / A5W profiles)
• Supporting button mapping (later, when multi-packet support will be supported by Rivalcfg)

Basic feature

For basic feature, we can find all the relevant information in the Aerox 3 Wireless profile and in the issues #156 and #167

Basic features are now on master and will be part of the v4.7.0.

'Supporting button mapping (later, when multi-packet support will be supported by Rivalcfg)'
How long does this usually take? Is it hard to get this to work?
Would profile switching via button bind be possible?

It will take months:

• Important changes must be made in the core of the lib
• Currently I do not have enough free time to work on it

Would profile switching via button bind be possible?

I don't know... It is probably a software feature of the GG Engine but I cannot confirm as I do not own this device.

Thank you so much for your quick comment. Unfortunately, I am only a user and I am thankful that there are people like you. I look forward when the time comes :)

Hi,

Just wanted an update on this, I wanted my Aerox 9 to support basic window moving macros (Win + <-, etc.). I'd assume that this is not possible yet because button mapping is not supported.
