SUMMARY

There's a really interesting library libratbag [1] to configure modern gaming mices. It would be very convenient if Plasma could support it and expose a graphical KCM like "piper" [2] does as a standalone application.

"libratbag provides ratbagd, a DBus daemon to configure gaming mice. The daemon provides a generic way to access the various features exposed by these mice and abstracts away hardware-specific and kernel-specific quirks.

libratbag currently supports devices from Logitech, Etekcity, GSkill, Roccat, Steelseries. See the device files for a complete list of supported devices.

Users interact through a GUI like Piper."

"Piper is a GTK+ application to configure gaming mice. Piper is merely a graphical frontend to the ratbagd DBus daemon"

Yeah not a bad idea. What we would do is integrate it into the existing UI as seamlessly as possible.
