Support Redragon M901 Perdition #33

Open venohm69 opened 2 years ago

venohm69 commented 2 years ago

I have this mouse and would like full support. Happy to help any way I can. I am not a full time coder and haven't been for to many years to write driver code, but am happy to supply any information on this mouse that I can or other ways to support this effort.

Thank you,

To start adding support would require a capture of the usb communication with the official software and a detailled description of the features the M901 has (number of buttons, minimum/maximum DPI, …). I suggest that you have a look at the other issues, especially the closed ones, to find further information, as the initial steps are identical between mice.

Okay, I'll start looking at them and provide the information. The windows part may take the longest since I finally made the switch to linux 100% on my main desktop, but I do still have access to windows systems but since they aren't my primary it will slow me down on getting that portion of the information.

But I can at least start with some of the basic information now: Website with specs: https://www.redragonzone.com/products/redragon-m901-perdition-16400dpi-mmo-mouse-led-rgb-wired-gaming-mouse

lsusb shows: Bus 001 Device 005: ID 04d9:fc02 Holtek Semiconductor, Inc. USB Laser Game Mouse

I have yet to get mouse_m908 to see the mouse.

Thanks for the lsusb output, the product id is different from the one listed in the readme. I have added it to the generic backend with 4cbbb26d4ddbe80b820472639430edc0bc131d78, in case you want to try that out.

The windows part may take the longest since I finally made the switch to linux 100% on my main desktop, but I do still have access to windows systems but since they aren't my primary it will slow me down on getting that portion of the information.

I don't know if you have considered it, but running windows inside a qemu/kvm virtual machine works well with usb passthrough, at least that is what i do.

Just realized I still have the old drive with windows still installed on it. I still had some Data to move off, so I hadn't formatted it yet. I've configured the dual boot and will reboot into windows to get the info. Thankfully I hadn't wiped that drive yet. I hadn't moved my Skyrim saves and mods over yet. :-D

I'll also give the generic backend a try with the new entry as well.

Thanks for your work on this.
