Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I'm always wondering if the OpenCorsairLink code logic is correct.

Describe the solution you'd like I'd like as much unit test coverage as possible. Considering OpenCorsairLink deals with actual hardware, we would need mock test to test all of the hardware variants.

Describe alternatives you've considered None

Additional context N/A

Hi! I'm from the ckb-next team, and we had a similar problem on our end. Our solution was to hack a USBIP driver into submission, and we got the mess that is FaKeyboard.

Given we're both working on Corsair stuff, it'd be nice if you visited our IRC (Freenode #ckb-next).

I found a set of articles on how to unit test software that interacts with hardware. http://blog.wingman-sw.com/archives/category/mocking-hardware http://blog.wingman-sw.com/archives/7#more-7 http://blog.wingman-sw.com/archives/8#more-8 http://blog.wingman-sw.com/archives/507#more-507

Also, I'm looking at CMocka as the Unit Testing Library.
